Solutions to 21st-century challenges will involve electronic systems intertwined withstructural, chemical, and biological systems. One example, advances in nano- and nanobio-engineering, will integrate knowledge from information, electrical, physical, cognitive and socialsciences. The solutions are thus inherently multi-disciplinary—involving one or moredisciplines with similar approaches to problem solving—and trans-disciplinary—involving twoor more disciplines

as such skills have shown to correlate to later success in an engineering career.However, research has shown that the current learning environment has not been conducive inlearning spatial skills, especially for women, gender minorities, and socioeconomicallydisadvantaged students. This phenomenon can contribute to the stubbornly consistent pattern oflow representation and participation of these minoritized students in engineering. Our projectstrives to address this practical gap by leveraging the technology of augmented reality/virtualreality (AR/VR) to create tools that can facilitate learning and development of spatial skillsamong these students. Specifically, we aim for such tools to help reduce cognitive load, providemore expansive
