identified inteaching CI strategies using VR is the ability to customize and adapt the learning scenarios to (1)suit diverse learning styles, skills levels, and areas of interest to meet the needs of our studentpopulation and (2) to reflect changes in industry practices or emerging technologies, ensuringthat students receive relevant and up-to-date experiences that is applicable across variousengineering disciplines and industries.Overall, these advantages of using VR in the classroom led to the creation of an interactivesimulation that was designed to support the teaching of CI strategies in two undergraduateengineering courses offered at the University of Kentucky during Fall 2023 and Spring 2024semesters.
