Virtual reality, VR, offers many benefits totechnical education, including the delivery ofinformation through multiple active channels, theaddressing of different learning styles, andexperiential-based learning. This poster presentswork performed by the authors to apply VR toengineering education, in three broad project areas:Virtual chemical plants, virtual laboratory accidents,and a virtual UIC campus. The first area providesguided exploration of domains otherwise inaccessible,such as the interior of operating reactors andmicroscopic reaction mechanisms. The secondpromotes safety by demonstrating the consequences ofnot following proper lab safety procedures. And thethird provides valuable guidance for (foreign)visitors. All programs developed are available on theweb, for free download to any interested parties.
