The project, a collaboration among Greenville Technical College, Clemson University, North Carolina A&T University, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and Trident Technical College, is developing and implementing a virtual simulated inspection (ViSIns) laboratory. The laboratory is a national resource for the use of high fidelity 3-D knowledge objects to train aircraft maintenance technology students. The project is developing and disseminating curriculum and education materials based on the ViSIns laboratory to support the training in non-destructive methods in aircraft inspection and maintenance training operations. It also is providing professional development in the use and assessment of ViSIns for college teaching faculty members and in the use of virtual reality as a pedagogical tool for regional secondary school teachers. In addition, the project is assessing the effectiveness of ViSIns in supporting inspection and maintenance training and the transferability of the training to on-the-job skills. The industry partners contribute experienced practitioners, a diversity of inspection tasks, and test beds for integrating the virtual reality products. This effort is filling state and national needs for well-prepared students entering the aircraft maintenance industry, and it is providing a better understanding of the use of 3D knowledge objects as a pedagogical tool. The evaluation effort, led by an outside evaluator, is using surveys from high school and community college students and from employers. Dissemination plans include presenting the material through project websites, faculty and teacher development workshops, journal publication, and conferences presentations at the aviation maintenance, FAA, and technician education meetings. The broader impacts include dissemination of the instructional materials and outreach.

该项目是格林维尔技术学院、克莱姆森大学、北卡罗来纳州AT大学、安柏瑞德航空大学和三叉戟技术学院之间的合作，正在开发和实施一个虚拟模拟检测（ViSIns）实验室。 该实验室是一个国家资源，用于使用高保真三维知识对象来培训飞机维修技术的学生。该项目正在ViSIns实验室的基础上编制和传播课程和教材，以支持飞机检查和维修培训业务中的非破坏性方法培训。 它还为大学教学人员提供使用和评估ViSIns的专业发展，并将虚拟现实用作区域中学教师的教学工具。 此外，该项目正在评估可视信息系统在支持检查和维修培训方面的效力，以及培训能否转化为在职技能。行业合作伙伴提供经验丰富的从业人员，各种检测任务和测试台，用于集成虚拟现实产品。 这一努力满足了州和国家对进入飞机维修行业的准备充分的学生的需求，并提供了更好地理解3D知识对象作为教学工具的使用。 由外部评估人员领导的评估工作正在使用来自高中和社区大学学生以及雇主的调查。传播计划包括通过项目网站、教师和教师发展研讨会、期刊出版物以及在航空维修、FAA和技术人员教育会议上的会议演示来展示材料。更广泛的影响包括传播教学材料和外联。
