Learning objectives
By the end of this module, students will be able to:
Sequence the major stages of bridge construction
Identify foundations, piers, girders, and deck elements
Explain load paths through the structure
Relate construction method to structural behaviour
Complete a scaffolded assessment on bridge construction
About the module
A bridge you can build, stage by stage.
Construction sequence is hard to teach on paper. This module lets students build a bridge in the correct order - foundations, piers, girders, and deck - and see why sequence matters.
As the structure goes up, students trace load paths and understand how each element carries and transfers force.
The 7thi AI tutor sits alongside the whole experience, scaffolding the difficult parts and giving subject-aware answers in context. Built-in assessment lets faculty see, per student, who has grasped which concepts - without grading another paper.

7thi and assessment in this module
7thi in this module
Students can ask 7thi questions at any point - about construction engineering or anything they see in the simulation. 7thi answers in context, without breaking the flow.
Assessment
Session data - concepts mastered, time per scene, assessment scores - appears on the faculty dashboard. Export to your LMS via xAPI.

What prior knowledge do students need?
Foundation-level understanding of construction engineering. Suitable for postgraduate students and above.
How long is a typical session?
About 45 minutes for a full run including assessment. Students can pause and resume, and faculty can assign specific parts rather than the whole module.
Can this be used in a flipped classroom?
Yes. Students complete the VR module before the lecture, so class time focuses on analysis and discussion.
Is the assessment graded automatically?
Yes. Assessment scores appear on the faculty dashboard immediately. Faculty can adjust pass thresholds and export results to their LMS.
Which headsets is this module optimised for?
Meta Quest 2 / 3 / Pro, ClassVR, Pico, and any WebXR-compatible browser. It also runs in desktop browsers without a headset. We also support the Meta XR SDK, OpenXR, and any 6DOF headset.
