After a web-basedinterest form was circulated to attendees and other members of the AIChE community,respondents answered whether they would like to participate in a VCP, to identify course(s) theywere teaching, and to indicate their willingness and ability to lead/moderate a VCP. Within oneweek, 88 faculty members filled out the form, and the communities began to materialize. Thetotal number of interested participants continued to grow through the semester and into thefollowing semester. From March 2020 to December 2020, 191 participants from

benefits ofinterventions. It is no surprise that a supportive learning environment would bring about student successand that historically underrepresented groups experience additional need for this support.Moreover, diversifying the gender and ethnic representation of ECpE graduates would yield amore diverse engineering work force more equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.Diverse teams are beneficial for an amalgam of moral, equitable, and innovative reasonsincluding improved problem solving and improved work outcomes [17]. This representation anddiversification is pertinent for professional and ethical advancement.

that have been voiced surroundingthem. While COVID prevented or hindered the implementation of most planned interventions,our findings thus far demonstrate that the recruitment and first-semester interventions aresupporting many of the students’ needs. However, we realize additional steps may better meetprogram participants needs as they transition into their graduate studies. By doing so, weanticipate an increase in the positive outcomes of the SEnS-GPS students’ GPAs, programretention, and graduation rates.References 1. T. Figueroa & S.

Instructional technology has developed at the same time as pedagogical approaches haveexpanded to serve more diverse learners [13]. Engineers cross-trained in VMC in addition totheir discipline-specific skills will highly contribute to their professional growth.Professionalization also entails a successful life-stage transition from student to employee, whichcorresponds with a change of responsibilities and expectations. Transitioning, defined as “anyevent or non-event that results in changed relationships, routines, assumptions, and roles,” [14]includes four-S dimensions

Another advantage ofsimulation-based learning is its compatibility with online learning, which continues to be agrowing trend, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic [11], [18], [31], [32].Using virtual systems to augment education is not only limited to
