The processes of the actual software system design,including related considerations are covered in section four. In section five the semi-immersiveVR implementation of the application is discussed, and finally in section six the empiricalprocedures and resulting analysis is detailed.2. BackgroundIn this section, specific technologies related to engineering education are discussed. Thisdiscussion includes the use of multimedia tools as well as simulations and accompanyingvisualization. The benefits associated with three-dimensional simulation and visualization inengineering are also touched upon as well as any related issues.In the early 1950's

After 6 months as a subcontractor, she began to work directlyfor the US Air Force. In the mid-1980’s Pat’s supervisor moved from the US Air Force to aprivate aerospace company that was competing for the US Army LHX helicopter. The LHX wasa R&D project sponsored by the US Army to develop a reconnaissance and attack helicoptercapable of flying at high speeds.

These machines also provideadvanced programming, interfacing, precision and accuracies needed for today’s manufacturing.These advantages plus the willingness of some of these machine builders to form special jointventures with universities and colleges, make the selection of industrial machineries, overmachines manufactured only for educational use, an issue to give in-depth consideration.Bibliography1.
