In Daniel Cortes’s ME 360 at University Park, a continuation of a project from the Fall of 2023, IMEX Lab facilitated the implementation of a custom built application to a large enrollment mechanical engineering class. Building on the content from the Fall, this semester saw the second iteration of the application that introduced new elements to the experience – such as a story element – and 3 new levels for students to use. The levels focused on understanding different machine parts and how they worked together. From March 14th-March 28th we had 87 students use the application.
