A driving simulator will set you back around $150K. There are several vendors in the space.
This will include a "cab" with steering wheel, brakes, etc. and a projected display system. Some go 200+ degrees FOV.
And the "feel" on the steering wheel is also there.
CMU and Stanford don't need anyone or any organization to tell the world they do a good job educating CS students. Not so clear if the CS dept is at the Small Town Liberal Arts College and Seminary.
But the other 4,999 schools CS programs, like the one being discussed at WGU, the source of the accreditation is a valuable signal.
Simulator for an A380? It's a bargain. For a Cessna 172, umm not so much.
