even graduate students in STEM. First, mostengineering graduate students are funded, and most are funded for their research. Further,time to degree completion for engineering doctoral students is low—on average about 5years—since engineering research is typically funded on grants or industry sponsorship thatencourages results and publication. The culture of engineering departments, even thoughcultures vary between departments and institutions, is different than those of other science,technology, and math departments, which often have different structures for research groups,mentorship, and expectations of graduate students. Therefore, we posit that we must studyengineering graduate students separately from students in other disciplines, though

Specifically, the developed VR modules for fusion deposition modeling and fatiguetesting will be presented. In the on-going research, students will be required to use the VR modulesin comparison with the physical lab experiments.

Thisis feedback that speaks to qualities of the learner as a person, and does not focus on the contentof what was being learned. Mode of feedback given to students relates to how feedback was delivered. For instance,feedback can be given in either a structured or unstructured way [17]. Structured feedback couldbe explained as receiving feedback through a rubric filled out by the instructor and officiallyreturned, whereas unstructured could be receiving feedback orally in passing in a hallway outsideof class. With technology being used in engineering classrooms more frequently, the mode withwhich feedback is delivered has transitioned to being primarily digital

In order to increase the students’ success in securing an internship,students applied the TWC content and skills fostered in the course while networking andinterviewing for one of these opportunities. Engineering students who implement some of theTWC skills and content typically see an immediate return, garnering a paid internship or anemployment offer. The TWC skills

The concepts and problem-solving processes are presented in a dynamic environmentthat allows interactivity.
