With this definition, we define hidden epistemologies as theunspoken, unacknowledged ways of knowing that guide engineering in educational spaces aswell as the field. Though this terminology may be less common in EER, hidden epistemologieshave been studied in this field as hidden curriculum [37]–[39].The term “hidden curriculum” was coined by Philip Jackson [40], and it has been operationalizedin EER to mean “the unwritten, unofficial, and often unintended lessons, values, andperspectives made by individuals and found in physical spaces within an academic environment”[39, pp. 2–3].

Using these studies, primarily focused in themedical field, we can extrapolate a few key components of educational curriculum. The maincomponents we found in these studies were: curriculum that had students identify biases incertain case studies or clinical trials [8],[9], small group discussion [9],[10], and evaluation ofstudents ability to reduce bias post-curriculum.

The work presented in [51]proposes integrating VR and AR by combining a virtual assembly environment with an ARapplication. However, the adopted approach utilizes a hybrid tracking system to synchronizevirtual and real hands, lacking the advanced holographic features of MR technology.
