within their curriculum. Byincreasing diversity within the discipline, emerging engineers will have broader perspectives onproblems leading to better engineering solutions. In 2018, researchers at MIT published a studyaddressing the racial bias seen in a commercially available facial recognition software. Theyfound that the software had a 34.7% error rate when analyzing “darker-skinned females” butonly had an error rate of only 0.8% for “lighter-skinned males” [18]. This example is one ofmany that highlight how lacking diversity when considering a problem leads to poor design.Dewsbury et al. suggests educators adopt inclusivity into their classroom, which he defines as“an intentional practice of recognizing and working to mitigate biases that

immersive, interactive learning spaces that simulate real-worldengineering challenges. By enabling students to apply theoretical concepts dynamically, VEs canenhance cognitive, psycho-motor, and affective skills. Previous research has demonstrated thepotential of VEs to improve engagement and learning outcomes, but their comparativeeffectiveness against traditional learning methods remains underexplored in online engineeringeducation. This study addresses this gap by integrating VEs into the curriculum and assessingtheir impact on student engagement and retention [1,2].In recent advancements, the concept of representation learning has gained significant attentionfor its ability to automatically learn useful features or representations from raw data

small enrollment, e.g. an elective courseor a graduate course, the courses students register in will have smaller overlaps and the value ofthe course registration data might be less. This tool might also be more useful for new facultywho might not be familiar with the curriculum. She mentioned that instructors who are familiarwith the contents of various courses might identify the connections between courses easily byknowing only the titles of the courses, but it might be challenging for instructors who are notfamiliar with the content of other courses. Thus, she suggested an improvement to show theconnections between courses by content overlap.The second interviewee is a lecturer. He teaches an upper level course where students havediverse
