Dr. Bolhari is a professor of environmental engineering in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering (CEAE) at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her teaching focuses on fate and transport of contaminants, capstone design and aqueous chemistry. Dr. Bolhari is passionate about broadening participation in engineering through community-based participatory action research. Her research interests explore the boundaries of engineering and social science to understand evolution of resilience capacity at family and community level to sustainable practices utilizing quantitative and qualitative research methods.
This bring your own experiment (BYOE) paper details a hands-on laboratory exercise to introduce Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) to environmental engineering students. A broad goal of adopting Artificial Intelligence in engineering curriculum is realizing its full potential in infusing a mindset to shift students from formulary thinking to innovative thinking. This arming individuals with a new mindset has the capacity to be seeds of transformation towards an innovative-focused engineering curriculum and workplace which will contribute to an engineering profession that will transform the engineering design process. This BYOE paper is written with the goal of making the implementation of this activity straightforward and accessible for instructors. This BYOE paper consists of a lesson which introduces AR and VR in a hands-on setting utilizing VR headsets for the virtual reality experience and Merge Cube for the augmented reality experience.
