Unfortunately, for many ifnot most students, it is not only one of the most dreaded courses in their entire curriculum, it isalso a course for which some students see little purpose (e.g., architectural and industrial engi-neers at Penn State University). We are trying to change this state of affairs at Penn State bymaking the course more interesting and relevant to students through the introduction of bothhands-on and computer-based experiments/projects that we call “activities”. In addition, throughthese activities we are hoping to address some of the needs and concerns expressed by accredita-tion boards such as ABET and agencies such as NSF with regard to engineering education [1–4].Details regarding

Educators and studentresearchers who must balance their development efforts with the pressures of classes, meetings,writing papers and seeking funding should plan on at least two years for their first simulation,possibly longer depending on the participants' backgrounds and resources available. During thistime VR hardware and software will change dramatically. It is therefore our recommendation toA) Start with the most advanced equipment you can afford, in the hopes that it will not becomeobsolete before the project is completed, and B) be prepared to upgrade or even completelychange development platforms during the course of the project.Step 1: Understand the strengths and weakness of educational VR.

The PCB is fabricated uponagreement of any changes or revisions.In most cases, the engineer will not be intimately involved with the actual fabrication process butinteracts with the fabricator. The primary challenge faced in this project was to create anenvironment that simulated an industry-like atmosphere for PCB design. In many instances, thefabricated PCB is altered by the fabricator after consultation with the original designer to reducecost and/or to increase performance.

Also, the currentenrollments in engineering are not diverse, especially among women, blacks, and Hispanics [2].On a related issue, a recent survey of engineers in industry indicates a compelling need forengineers to have strong communication skills [3].
