especially since the VR controllerscan mimic any handheld object. Studies have shown that VR education can overcome languagebarriers as hands-on activities tend to reinforce classroom lessons better than lectures alone [3],[6]-[8]. For this reason, VR has spread to education, as well as industrial and construction training[9]. Statistics show that currently 1 in 5 people use VR in a given year, with the potential marketfor VR expected to grow by 21.6% in the next 7 years [2].Structural engineering is at the forefront of technology and we need to begin exposing our currentand future engineers to this amazing opportunity for academic and career development.

With internships becoming more popularearly in students’ academic careers, students are often faced with ill-structured problems beforethey graduate. By providing added opportunities for students to solve ill-structured problemsstudents can become more familiar with them and become better equipped for the workforce.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by a Research Experience for
