“…These findings are similar to those found for Civil Engineering seniors at Georgia Institute of Technology 3 , and are probably characteristic of many engineering graduates. A recent survey of graduating Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering seniors of the WSU program in Table 1 shows that they have relatively low confidence in their knowledge of engineering design and science (the focus of much of their education) and their communication skills ( component of their terminal projects).…”

This paper presents how the use of a virtual reality model of a real world manufacturing line can be used to integrate a manufacturing engineering curriculum and address the competency gaps defined by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. A Quest discrete-event simulation model was developed of an actual Boeing manufacturing line. A virtual reality markup language (VRML) 2.0 file was generated from the Quest model. Students use the virtual reality model for case studies in various classes in the curriculum.

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has been used widely today in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The VR is emerging computer interface distinguished by high degrees of immersion, trustworthy, and interaction. The goal of VR is making the user believe, as much as possible, that he is within the computergenerated environment. The VR has become one of the important technologies to be discussed regarding its applications, usage, and its different types that can achieve huge benefits in the real world. This survey paper introduces detail information about VR systems and requirements to build correct VR environment. Moreover, this work presents a comparison between system types of VR. Then, it presents the tools and software used for building VR environments. After that, we epitomize a road of the map for selecting appropriate VR system according to the field of applications. Finally, we introduce the conclusion and future predictions to develop the VR systems.

“…The most exciting possibilities in terms of education and VR are found as it is implemented in the education of the disabled. Sulbaran and Baker (2000) created an online learning system to study the effectiveness of VR in engineering education. They used VR to train participants on how to operate a lock and to identify construction machines.…”
