Virtual reality, VR, offers many benefits to technical education, including the delivery of information through multiple active channels, the addressing of different learning styles, and experiential-based learning. This paper presents work performed by the authors to apply VR to engineering education, in three broad project areas: virtual robotic learning, virtual mechatronics laboratory, and a virtual manufacturing platform. The first area provides guided exploration of domains otherwise inaccessible, such as the robotic cell components, robotic kinematics and work envelope.  The second promotes mechatronics learning and guidance for new mechatronics engineers when dealing with robots in a safe and interactive manner. And the third provides valuable guidance for industry and robotic based manufacturing, allowing a better view and simulating conditions otherwise inaccessible.

The evaluation was carried out to examine the distribution of learning styles (discussed in Chapter 2) of the third year undergraduate engineering students and suggest effective problem solving approaches that could increase the motivation and understanding of slow learners at UNITEN. For this study, a sample target population of 60 third year undergraduate engineering students who had taken the Engineering Mechanics subject was tested. These students were selected based on their second year grade point average (GPA) of less than 2.5 as this study emphasizes on slow learners.

This work considers the problem of studying the strategy of equipment location on the firefighting vehicle. A unified firefighter’s vehicle Euro Truck is being designed. The problem of location the emergency equipment on the vehicle is very important from the point of view of firefighters ergonomic. It is consider two ergonomic criterion functions: how long is the distance of horizontal and vertical displacement of equipment during its unloading. The third ergonomic criterion is optimization of firefighters work time. These criteria lead to a reduction in the physical load of firefighters’ bodies. Computer simulation, including virtual reality, allows for a very detailed study of the work of firefighters during the removal of equipment from the vehicle. A simulation environment with virtual reality was built and tested in order to measure ergonomic criteria during firefighters’ work in a rescue operation for various action scenarios.

Defect management in civil construction work is crucial. This work is aimed at analyzing the conventional method of construction defect management and to bring out a framework for integrating 5D building information modeling with mixed reality. This work is divided into three parts. The first part is the integration of 5D building information modeling with augmented reality that helps to understand the architectural concepts and visualize the workflow onsite. The second part of the work is to develop a user-defined target-based marker-less augmented reality to send screenshots of augmented models and exact progress of work from construction site to engineers working in other locations. The third part of the work is to integrate virtual reality to enable virtual tours of the real site that will be useful for the customers to visualize the building virtually and for the builders to promote sales.

Learning styles indicate an individual’s preferred way of learning. Research suggests that it is important for students on clinical placements to begin the learning process with the preferred learning style and subsequently develop their ability to use other styles and become more balanced learners. What is unknown is when baccalaureate nursing students are ready to develop the other learning styles, and what facilitates such an expansion in their learning style repertoire? This is important, because students need to develop the abilities to learn both by acting and by deepen their knowledge of theory to meet the requirements of the nursing profession. An American study found that operating room students felt confident to adopt new learning styles by the third week of clinical placements. No studies to date have retrieved a similar pattern of readiness to expand learning style repertoire among nursing students. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate when students are ready to expand their learning style repertoire in a Baccalaureate Nursing Programme and to investigate the factors that influence such an expansion. Data were generated through participant observations and interviews. The findings indicated that students were ready in different weeks, and that interaction with nurses, the context, and the type of ward in the clinical placement were crucial factors for students to be able to expand their repertoire. The conclusion was that both students and preceptors need to be ready before students can adopt and develop other learning styles.

Biflagellate zoospores are the major infective agent for many pathogenic species of Oomycetes. Over the last 10 years, the use of a range of immunological techniques has greatly expanded our understanding of the ultrastructure of these cells and of the role a number of cell components play in the infection of a host. Three types of vesicles that occur in the peripheral cytoplasm of the zoospores have been well characterized. These vesicles show distinct polarities in their distribution within the zoospore cortex. Two are secretory and are thought to be responsible for the formation of the cyst coat and the deposition of adhesive material during encystment and host infection. The third vesicle type is not secreted and appears to serve as a store of proteins used to support early germling growth. All three vesicles are formed by the Golgi apparatus in hyphae following the induction of sporulation. They move into sporangia developing at the hyphal apex and are randomly distributed in the forming and mature sporangia. After the induction of sporangial cleavage, the vesicles are sorted into domains adjacent to the newly formed zoospore plasma membrane. This final sorting is dependent in some way on an intact microtubular cytoskeleton. Vesicle targeting and sorting is thus temporally and spatially removed from vesicle synthesis. Features of the oomycete zoospore system promise to make it a valuable one in which to conduct further studies of vesicle targeting, polarized secretion, and the role of the cytoskeleton in these processes. Key words: cytoskeleton, immunocytochemistry, Phytophthora, regulated secretion, sporulation.
