This study has IRB approval as Exempt Category 1.3.2 InterventionThis study focused on comparing immersive Virtual Reality (VR) lessons with traditionalPowerPoint (PPT) lessons, offering students a unique learning experience across three keytopics. Each lesson included both an informative section and a hands-on experiential activitydesigned to be as consistent as possible between the two modalities. This approach enabled adirect comparison of student engagement, presence, and learning outcomes in each mode. Theprimary difference between the two formats was the level of immersion: VR utilized 3Denvironments and interactive elements, while PPT relied on conventional text

methodology that combinesthe many methods of creative problem-solving involves, “A) Planning your approach, B)Defining the correct problem/understanding the challenge, C) Generate Ideas/Alternatives –Brainstorm, D) Decide course of action/Preparing for action/Carry through/Implement, E)Acceptance and Evaluation,” [17]. It is also important to know that there is a common belief andvalue among engineering students that the skill of problem-solving is necessary for future careersuccess [21]. Students apply different combinations of the problem-solving steps based on thetype of problem given, prior knowledge before completing the problem, and beliefs about theusefulness of problem-solving in future careers [18]. This makes it difficult to tailor

On the whole, students acknowledged the more rigorous demands of college-level academics: 71% reported they have to work harder than they did in high school to get thegrades they want and another 24% indicated they have to work the same amount. Only 6% - asingle student - reported that they have to work less than they did in high school to get the gradesthey want.3.2 Data CollectionThe study draws on several data sources:Faculty interviews were conducted by Author B with Author A about teaching a thermal fluidsdesign

Your discussion should holistically address the most crucial human contexts and ethical stakes of your work. To help you discuss these impacts thoughtfully, we've provided several prompts below. While we expect your response to address at least some of these, you should treat these as guidelines rather than a checklist. a. Is your recommendation feasible? Who would have the power to implement it? Who might have the right to object? b. How would the impacts of your recommendations

in U.S. (21/Male)Data collection and analysis To collect the data, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Each participant took partin an in-person interview lasting 20 to 40 minutes. A semi-structured protocol was used to askthe students about the following topics: a) cultural and family background, b) parentalexpectations and support for education, d) motivations for choosing their major and theirexpected level of education and goals, d) parental beliefs about their major choice, as well as theanticipated level of education and goals. The interviews were audio-recorded and subsequentlytranscribed. The transcribed data were analyzed based on the research questions using thethematic analysis method proposed by Braun and Clarke [9
United States. That is, the teaching practices andlearning activities allowed, even encouraged, in one sociopolitical context may be altogetherbanned in another, shaping the types of learning activities students have access to acrosscontexts. However, little is known about the ways these sociopolitical factors are manifested inengineering classrooms, or the impacts of these issues on student learning.Taken collectively, there is a need to understand the ways contextual factors influence howfaculty define and implement sociotechnical design education. Thus, the purpose of this researchis to (a) research the influences that support or constrain sociotechnical design pedagogies acrosscontexts, (b) study how these contextual influences shape faculty
