engineering is what makes it smore difficult to understand.” As shown in the qualitative data, students mostly emphasized concern that it is not thecontent that is complex; instead, it is the amount of content relayed in the course and the limitedopportunities to engage in dialogue. The response from this survey further demonstrates thatthere is difficulty in translating academic concepts into practical problem-solving approachesrelevant to the complex challenges they may encounter in their future engineering careers if thereis not ample opportunity to apply and discuss conceptual knowledge. These insights provided bythe student comments highlight students’ perceived need to receive additional opportunities tocritically analyze the

Laboratory work plays a crucial role in shaping the professionaldevelopment of university engineering students as it enables them to cultivate these essentialpractices [1, 2]. A successful laboratory task design should provide students opportunities todevelop these practices but also needs to adhere to the constraints of the educationalenvironment.In this project, we explore how both virtual (simulation-based) and physical (hands-on)laboratories, based on the same real-world engineering process, develop the practices studentswill need in their future careers. In an engineering virtual laboratory, students work

to better preparestudents for their future engineering careers, partly because of conflicting beliefs about thepurposes and methods of education [9]. For those who believe that current methods are mostlysuccessful, technical preparation takes precedence over contextualizing engineering knowledgein societal contexts. Learning to work within larger social issues occurs on the job and later inone’s career. Such prioritization of disciplinary knowledge in the curriculum is, however, oftenbased on a zero-sum calculus that assumes the time spent on societal context is time taken awayfrom core engineering knowledge. There is evidence this perspective is not fully correct [10].Other perspectives emphasize the need for more professional or

Giventhat mathematical skills are often used to assess job applicants across various careers [41], mathreadiness becomes a critical determinant for college admissions [42] and subsequent degreeattainment [43], [44]. While some studies have delved into disparities in math readiness, othershave explored variations based on racial and ethnic minorities [45].The perception of integration and emotional connection during the first year, often referred to asthe sense of community [46], has been shown to have a substantial influence on students'academic achievement [47].

Unfortunately that basic skill set of self-learning doesn’t always get fully incorporated into our careers. Students tend tohave problems in adopting a learning style [1]. Some students understand theimportance of self-directed learning and develop an appreciation to be a self-directed learner. “Self-regulated learners are aware when they know a fact orpossess a skill and when they do not” [2].
