innovative capacity of science, business and economics.Consequently, the declared aim of current activities by various initiatives and institutions istherefore to promote a sustained interest in technical careers and to increase the number of personswho acquire appropriate qualifications. Although many of these initiatives have already beenworking on this for two decades or more, the offers to promote technical career choices have notyet been sufficient to really prevent a shortage of academically trained engineers.To discuss this challenge, this paper first describes the today’s situation of recruiting young talentsfor engineering together with interdependencies and determinants of the individual decision-making process that has to be

another” [4]. Empathetic capacity allows engineers to understand the consumers orbusiness partners who are impacted by their designs, respond to the needs of communities, andcommunicate effectively. During the last two decades, many articles have been publishedpushing for more empathy in engineering [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Some argue “that empathy…enables students to develop a nuanced critical understanding of the multiple perspectives whichcharacterize contemporary engineering problems” [10]. Facilitating an environment for studentsto develop empathetic skills allows them to more holistically understand the problems they willencounter in their careers. Literature also suggests that “empathy can support effectivecommunication and collaboration

relative to the surrounding culture[11]. An individual’s science identity plays a considerable role in their resilience, studentinvolvement, and career interests [10]. Self-Efficacy pertains to the brief to accomplish goals,and research links this to the students’ science achievement [10]. Science identity and self-efficacy can have a direct impact on student retention and success within STEM, and there islittle literature that studies the impact of SI on students’ science identity and self-efficacy.Impact of SIs on struggling vs top studentsPrevious research has related SI’s effectiveness by the increasing of Grade Point Average (GPA)of students in STEM programs [12]. Other research correlates an increased final course grade toattendance at SI

Include an explanation of why you believe your plan will be effective.Each semester, expectations for writing reflections were set via a detailed rubric describing whateach metacognitive element should entail. The rubric was posted on Canvas as a document andwas pointed to in each reflection assigned. An example rubric is shown in the Appendix Table1A. Table 3 shows a short-hand version of this rubric for easy reference. For Cohort 1, thePlanning - Application element was used to assess students’ responses to the Planning alternativeresponse, which

proficiency in roboticstasks, such as programming robotic arms and troubleshooting errors. These findings align withthose of Ortega and Ruiz [10], who highlighted the collaborative potential of VR in EngineeringEducation. Their study showed that virtual environments enabled students to work together oncomplex Engineering problems, fostering teamwork and problem-solving skills.Despite these promising outcomes, the adoption of VR in Engineering Education remainsuneven. Most research focuses on specific applications without exploring broader integrationsacross entire curricula. Furthermore, limited attention has been given to evaluating the long-termimpacts of VR on students’ professional readiness and career outcomes. 2.3. Regional Context and
