thinking required forproblem-solving.[4] However, empathy can diffuse emotions.[5]Barrett-Lennard describes a cyclical process of how empathy unfolds or builds between twoindividuals, “A” and “B”, that consists of 5 steps and 3 phases.[6] Barret-Lennard’s empathy cycleis summarized in table 1. In the first step, A is actively attending to B’s expression of experience(and hoping/trusting A will be receptive). B’s experience becomes known to A in a second step. Step Description Phase 1 A attends to B’s expression Conditions for of experience empathic process 2 A reads or resonates to B such Phase 1: empathic resonation
the fatigue experiments are destructive since weneed to apply cyclic loading until the failure of the structure. Also, fatigue experiments may takea long time since, in some cases, we need to apply a very large number of cycles in order tocause a fracture in the specimen. Both of these issues (i.e., cost and time) are not an issue in VLssince a) it is free for students to run as many experiments as they desire and b) theaforementioned “fast-forwarding” button allows students to conduct all experiments within amatter of seconds. Thus, in the case of the fatigue lab, we can easily plot the S-N curve based onthe VL results, whereas doing so based on the hands-on experiments alone is difficult.6.

Moving forward, the authors areworking with more teachers, especially those who do not have a background in aerospace, to obtainfeedback.
