Abstract :
This paper presents a working-in-progress project that designs a virtual reality (VR) game system to promote science and engineering design in the Project-Lead-The-Way curriculum. Using city infrastructure as the theme and engineers solving real-life problems as the scenes, the games of future sustainable city design engage students in science and engineering discovery through visualization, simulation, collaboration, and design.
