learning, due to the rapid convergence of extant computing, chemical, wireless, andimaging industries towards PIC-enabled new functionalities. This convergence mandates a rapidlearning of PIC functions and automation design, by engineers who historically have trained inadjacent disciplines. The constellation of VR and GBL designed sims are intended, via a MOOCinterface, to rapidly acclimate these more veteran learners from the incumbent workforce, andprepare them for taking advanced PIC circuit design courses[27], overseen by some of thecollaborators on an advanced manufacturing workforce training MOOC platform[11].References[1] R.
