This paper focuses on the SEM module of the VR project.2.0 RationalThe goal of the SEM module is to enable students to become familiar with the features,capabilities, and controls of the SEM in a cost effective, safe, and interactive environment, priorto, or in the place of, using a real SEM. Benefits of using the VR SEM are listed below.Cost effectiveThe VR SEM can negate costs associated with SEM education in the following ways: • Reduces the high energy and material costs of running the SEM continually during

The goal is to permeate the S&R concepts into the CEcurriculum by injecting content into existing curriculum from freshman to senior years. Toachieve this goal, the research team selected twelve courses that range from freshmen to senioryears from the current Boise State Civil Engineering curriculum to introduce S&R concepts viaactive learning modules designed to help students understand the underlying philosophies ofS&R and their importance to civil infrastructure. Eight of the twelve courses are required courseswhile the remaining four are senior electives. This paper details the procedures followed
