Apartfrom psychology, VR is used in medicine, in which VR can provide an effective a repeatabletraining to trainees at a low cost. Also, VR has been known to be a workspace to test and buildnew technologies9. In order to incorporate solar energy technology learning in the educationsystem, VR can be the best tool in order to give a more practical understanding of design anddevelopment of the solar energy technology.

alignment of academia with women and industry with men stems from both personalimpressions of the field and from women professors’ observations of their own students. Womenin our sample noticed that female students tend to, for the most part, choose academia aftercompleting their engineering degrees whereas men choose industry. Academia as a “femalespace” is encouraged by graduate advisors or general societal impressions of both what is bestfor women’s and what is best for men’s interests: “…The technical things. Men like more do the technical things compared to the academician they don’t really like to teach someone…but they [men] like to do practical, do hands-on, the industry…” - Tutor, Chemical Engineering, 9 Years5.2.3

For example, there are various environmental impacts andsustainability concerns associated with information and communication technologies that Jonesmentions. These include finite raw materials, energy consumption coming from nonrenewableresources, toxic substance waste, and an “obsolete” mentality associated with older technologicaldevices. The multi-dimensional analytical framework presents steps that can help remedy theseimpacts and concerns. Jones
