of it in a coherentfashion.Figure 7: Coincident lines (Line A and Line B) on different planes in an isometric view.Figure 8: Student sketched chamfered corner where collinear vertical line represents two edgeson different planes (indexed 4c and 4d in data).Figure 9 shows a part with curved surfaces which the student found difficult to sketch. Incontrast, Figure 10 shows a very similar part that the student sketched without difficulty.Figure 9: Curved surface part that proved difficult for student to render orthographically.Figure 10: Similar curve surface part that the student sketched easily.In summary, the student learned to sketch isometric views of parts without the support of 3Dprinted parts. The isometric views were clear, and visually
).InstrumentsValue, Expectancy, and Cost of Testing Educational Reforms Survey (VECTERS)To assess faculty dispositions towards, and use of, specific active learning strategies, the Value,Expectancy, and Cost of Testing Educational Reforms Survey (VECTERS) was utilized [23].VECTERS measures dispositions towards, as well as current and planned use of, three activelearning strategies: (1) Using formative feedback to adjust instruction (2) Integrating real-world applications (3) Facilitating student-to-student discussions in classVECTERS prompts respondents to consider each strategy and consider the degree to which they(a) expect the strategy to be successful, (b) find it valuable, and (c) believe it is costly (e.g., time,resources).

Simulation sickness analysis showed thatthe current VR teaching modules need some adjustments. The analysis of the systems usabilityand user experience of the module were found to be acceptable. In phase III of the research, wewill improve the VR module to make a full self-paced tutorial where the instructor’s role will bemore facilitator than an instructor.References[1] B. Dalgarno, A. G.

Appendix B. Toeliminate acquiescence bias, where a respondent may be inclined to agree with statements aswritten, framing of the statements was done in both the affirmative and the negative. Followingconvention, a five point Likert scale was used, where possible responses were: StronglyDisagree, Disagree, Neither Agree nor Disagree, Agree, and Strongly Agree. Additionalquestions were included in the survey to collect information about a respondent’s gender,declared major, and year in school.To gain a more in depth understanding of faculty perspectives and to reduce the possibility ofsocial desirability bias, where a person tends to put their organization in a favorable light, one-on-one interviews were conducted with several faculty members.

The online section was taught by the engineering instructor (Professor A) who developedthe online course. The face-to-face course was taught by an adjunct instructor (Professor B) whowas teaching the graphics class for the first time. The two instructors used the same PowerPointlectures to deliver content to students. For the online class, the PowerPoint slides were presentedin pre-recorded lecture videos, while the PowerPoint slides were presented by the instructorduring class time for the face-to-face section.
