witheventual success in the field after graduation [4-6]. Some universities have implementedintervention strategies by gearing curriculum and department culture towards supportingstudents’ development of their individual engineering identities with this known promise ofstudent success [6]. Some major curricular changes surround the emphasis on design problemsused throughout engineering courses that inherently help students to feel more like an engineerafter completing the project [7]. Because the act of problem-solving correlates with the directdevelopment of all three of Godwin’s facets of engineering identity, providing more opportunityfor students to solve real-world problems correlates to retention [8] and success in the field [9].Studies have

It allows educators toprovide their learners with advanced training environments that mirror the complexities ofmodern manufacturing, preparing them for future industry-specific roles.Therefore, the features of both VR and MR offer significant advantages over AR, particularly formanufacturing training.
