Similar to varied treatments in medical SA, differentVE approaches can be studied to determine their impact on student engagement andachievement. 1.2. Research ObjectivesThe primary objectives of this study are to: a. Design and development of virtual environments for engineering core course as “treatment” to enhance engagement b. Apply FLASH to forecast student success based on engagement data in VEs within

. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) framework encourages K–12 educators to integrate engineering concepts alongside scientific practices by incorporatingmodel development, problem-based investigations, and iterative design processes [1, 4, 5]. Atleast 41 states have adopted engineering knowledge and skills into their educational standards.While Carr et al. [2] provided a baseline for engineering's inclusion in K–12 standards, theimplementation and impact on student learning remain underexplored. The degree to whichinstructional approaches are consistently applied across different school systems is unknown, asengineering integration varies widely between districts and states.Without such established baseline experiences, institutions
