In respect of the graduate student’s wishes,only the faculty story will be shared: “Mentoring for me had to be in the forefront […] my first Ph.D. mentoring experience ended up not being the best experience. Not necessarily because I was not committed to the mentoring relationship, but because the student was not. That led me to reflect on what mentoring means. It just so happened I was recruiting my second Ph.D. student at the time. They had just come out of a very difficult mentoring relationship with a previous advisor. Both of us were very hurt, scared, and confused. We weren't sure if this new

This dynamic has created a clear division whereuniversities primarily generate knowledge, and industries focus more on implementinginnovation. However, many businesses, particularly in China, appear to in buildingindependent innovation capacity and in translating cutting-edge technologies fromuniversities directly into market applications. As a result, they tend to prioritize short-terminnovation activities, such as patenting and consulting, over long-term R&D initiatives,reflecting their limited capacity for industrial research (Chen & Liu, 2017).To address the challenges faced by businesses in adopting advanced

Robust VR design also incorporatescognitivist ideas including the cognitive theory of multimedia learning and cognitive load theory,which is particularly relevant for developers and discussed in a later subsection. For educators,constructivist theories such as experiential learning theory, situated learning theory, and guideddiscovery learning theory have great potential to be enhanced by VR.Experiential learning theory states that learning occurs through a cyclical process of concrete expe-riences, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation [23].

However, reliance on a single language model (Llama3.2) limited customization capabilities compared to GPT-4, although it significantly reduced costs.● Comparison with previous work: In contrast to the use of Petri-Net in earlier research, the use of LLMs allowed a more dynamic and adaptable analysis, especially in educational settings with high variability.

There is one outlier, arespondent who reports a current “complete overlap” between their personal identity and theidentity of an engineer (see Figure 1). The fact that respondents who have relocated also reportmore overlap when reflecting on their identity as a student (Figure 2) implies that there may be arelationship between the strength of engineering identity in an individual and their likelihood torelocate. This relationship will be probed in further research, specifically in interviews during aforthcoming qualitative research phase. 8

For example, prior research has found that testing accommodations andsupportive environments are particularly effective in closing the achievement gap for studentswith learning disabilities in higher education [6]. Conversely, other research in the field hasfound that presuming student competence and encouraging students to self-advocate can improvesense of belonging, and therefore retention [7]-[8].
