Our students do a lot of different kinds of research, that model lends itself to realworld applications. [In my field], we have to learn how to make a device, how to put it on a surface,and how to append it to something like a medical device. This program lends itself to anentrepreneurial mindset.”“The entrepreneurial part is natural, because we are like ‘hey if we make this would you use it?’Industry has better equipment than we do in terms of scale, they have the equipment andtechnology to make this on a large

While the majority of the fellows—72 percent—reported a positive experience immediately following the program, even more saw the value in itas time went on. Three years later, 90 percent of the participants described their experience aseither “extremely valuable” or “valuable.”In 2019, the program hired an independent evaluator to conduct a survey to understand thefinancial impacts of fellowship on the

especially since the VR controllerscan mimic any handheld object. Studies have shown that VR education can overcome languagebarriers as hands-on activities tend to reinforce classroom lessons better than lectures alone [3],[6]-[8]. For this reason, VR has spread to education, as well as industrial and construction training[9]. Statistics show that currently 1 in 5 people use VR in a given year, with the potential marketfor VR expected to grow by 21.6% in the next 7 years [2].Structural engineering is at the forefront of technology and we need to begin exposing our currentand future engineers to this amazing opportunity for academic and career development.

With internships becoming more popularearly in students’ academic careers, students are often faced with ill-structured problems beforethey graduate. By providing added opportunities for students to solve ill-structured problemsstudents can become more familiar with them and become better equipped for the workforce.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by a Research Experience for

One major issue that is still beingworked out is how to have a single portfolio that covers all four years of the program. The initialexperiments are thus focused on having students address different prompts each year. In the firstyear students explore various functionings in the major and identify personally relevantfunctionings. In the second year the focus is on potential careers, extending the functioningsview beyond the undergraduate program. In the third year students focus on processes ofpersonal
