Recreation of the Chancellor's Residence in the French Colonial Architecture Style
(2025-04-10) Caleb Goodwin, Cesar Cruz, Makilah Williams
In this project our group was assigned with creating a French colonial themed recreation of the chancellors residence off of 5 street. With over 7000 sq ft of livable space and enough room to fit 6 cars in total. We went for a mainly open concept to encore rate the use of breezeways, heavy usage of single and double casement windows as well as broad columns were used to really bring out that French colonial feeling, let’s not forget the dormer and eyebrow dormer windows these are located above the garage and top of the house on the northern elevation.

Leveraging Virtual Reality for Pedagogical Innovation: A Case Study of a 3D Heart Model for Anatomical Education
(2025-03-31) Garrett Clayton Moore
Traditional anatomical models and textbook
depictions have long been fundamental to
medical education, providing accurate
representations of human anatomy. These
tools effectively convey structural details and
remain essential in foundational training.
However, their static nature limits exploration
of complex physiological processes and
spatial relationships, particularly in dynamic
systems like the human heart. This study
aims to enhance medical education by
developing an interactive 3D model of the
human heart within a virtual reality (VR)
environment through:
• Creating a High-Fidelity, Interactive 3D
Model of the Human Heart
• Enhancing Spatial and Anatomical
Comprehension
• Simulating Dynamic Cardiac Functions
and Physiological Processes
• Improving Learning Outcomes and
Knowledge Retention
• Supporting Medical Diagnosis Training
through Interactive Simulations
• Providing Interactive Learning
