,” Anderson et al. [12] , point out that communication is critical tothe success of the program, and ensuring the appropriate people from each school are engaged inthe process is essential. Drawing upon the experience of six Missouri higher educationalinstitutions in creating a collaborative doctoral degree in Educational Leadership, Short and Stein[13] articulate four challenges in building a successful collaborative curriculum: 1) creating aculture of collaboration; 2) addressing institutional requirements; 3) establishing and meetinghigh standards; and 4) meeting the needs of educators across organizational types. They furtherlisted several lessons learned. Prominent among these are the importance of communication anda shared vision, and that

ensuringthat colleges and universities integrate these skills in their curriculum [4]. To determine whichprofessional skills are important for career success, researchers have queried academics,students, and practitioners in a range of engineering disciplines and country contexts. Chan et al.identify 38 skills including critical thinking, conflict management, and time management [5]. Astudy of practicing engineers in New Zealand maintained the importance of communication andethics but added career planning, leadership, and project management [6]. In addition to confusion over what makes up this professional skill set, no consensusexists on what to call this group of skills. Some research uses a single term, while others usemultiple terms

Evolution of VR in EducationVirtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a transformative tool in education over the past decade. Itsability to create immersive, interactive, and experiential learning environments has made ithighly relevant for a range of disciplines. Early research laid the groundwork for understandingthe role of VR in education, with Azuma [1] identifying AR’s potential to overlay digitalinformation onto physical environments, enabling learners to visualize abstract concepts incontext. Chen et al. [2] expanded on this by highlighting VR’s ability to create fully immersiveenvironments that

this approach is that students develop a definition for energy that theypersonally understand. Choudhury et al. describe a similar constructivist approach; howeverinstead of occurring during a single semester, the process occurs over the course of the entireengineering curriculum, starting with students’ first year in college [16]. This focus on energywas achieved mainly through lab-based classes in which students had the opportunity to gainhands-on experience with energy concepts, again responding to the need for helping studentsconnect theory and practice. Kapper et al. proposed a literacy-based solution that used“intermediary language” to relate the complex theoretical energy concepts to college students’prior knowledge and experiences [6
