    In our current additive manufacturing (AM) curriculum, the study relies on taking lectures and physical lab experiments. With the advance of virtual reality (VR) technologies in terms of both software and hardware, there is a need to advance the education with adopting advanced VR technologies. In this project, we present our latest results of developing new VR modules in AM curriculum. Specifically, the developed VR modules for fusion deposition modeling and fatigue testing will be presented. In the on-going research, students will be required to use the VR modules in comparison with the physical lab experiments. The focus will be understanding the effectiveness of VR technology on engineering curriculum.
