that wanted to adapt andadopt the findings from the existing Coalitions. A strong focus of the Coalitions was onintroductory engineering courses, with the rationale that engineering was losing too many studentsthrough attrition, and we needed to pay more attention to their formative years. Nearly everyCoalition created some version of an FYE program through this funding mechanism. The numberof FYE programs across the nation has increased dramatically based on these investments, largelyin response to curricular efforts aimed at retaining engineering students by providing them withmeaningful career-oriented experiences early in their college educations.Many of these first-year programs were called “common first-year engineering programs,”meaning

Our study addresses this gapby evaluating students' experiences in VR laboratories through the experiential learning theory(ELT) lens. In adopting a theory-driven approach, we aim to uncover insights and strategies forimplementing VR laboratories for optimal student outcomes toward adequately preparingstudents for workplace careers. We adopt a qualitative methodology to answer our researchquestion: "What are students’ experiences when using VR labs for learning?"We adopted ELT as it provided a framework for assessing VR laboratories as environments thatallow for active learner roles through its emphasis on

The career trajectory toward EIF positions isvaried, and those varied academic and career experiences of EIF can enrich students' classroomexperiences. Over the last twenty years, there has been an increase in the number of professional-track faculty in higher education.

As computerscience is as or more gender imbalanced in favor of men than many engineering disciplines [54],we expect this pattern to hold in computing as well.
