In addition, A more equitable approach to evaluating the efficacy ofimmersive VR may involve conducting a longitudinal study that tracks students over an extendedduration. Subsequent investigations should explore whether students in authentic educationalsettings exhibit increased utilization of immersive VR technology and whether this heightenedusage correlates with enhanced learning outcomes.

The capstone project course wasrevamped to cater getting students involved in industry-led capstone projects [5]. Scachitti andHigley showed that evolving engineering technology capstone projects brought students closer toindustry [6].From the above literature, it is clear that capstone projects are being revamped to give students abetter chance to connect with industry and ultimately be more prepared for the workforce.

Marine engineering is nota common subject when compared to other STEM courses. In fact, the course or even similarcourses are offered at probably less than a dozen other institutions nationwide. Unlike chemistry,mathematics, or physics there are very few marine engineering textbooks available that arecompletely relevant due to the rapid and perpetual evolution of marine engineering.

To make things worse,courses in thermofluids require a robust understanding of mathematics and extensively utilizephysics to explain physical systems.
