Instructional technology has developed at the same time as pedagogical approaches haveexpanded to serve more diverse learners [13]. Engineers cross-trained in VMC in addition totheir discipline-specific skills will highly contribute to their professional growth.Professionalization also entails a successful life-stage transition from student to employee, whichcorresponds with a change of responsibilities and expectations. Transitioning, defined as “anyevent or non-event that results in changed relationships, routines, assumptions, and roles,” [14]includes four-S dimensions
