Since physics was not considered a proper topic for women, she did not show her trueability for some time. At the end of the Second World War, there were many new opportunitiesfor women. She was able to fulfill her true desire to study physics and received her BS inphysics. Her primary interests were in the field of computer use in industry. Her earlycontributions include banking systems and airline reservation systems. She founded a company,Redactron, and developed a system referred to as the “Data Secretary”, the first computerizedword processor to aid the work of typists worldwide. At the time of her

This papercontributes to this research gap by investigating and comparing the effectiveness of ImmersiveSimulation-Based Learning (ISBL) environments in online versus in-person delivery mode.ISBL aims to enhance learning by combining computerized immersive simulations andProblem-Based Learning (PBL). Digital Simulation is commonly used as a powerful analysis toolin various contexts and industry sectors, namely manufacturing [3], healthcare [4], military [5],supply chain [6], and marketing [7].

Also, the currentenrollments in engineering are not diverse, especially among women, blacks, and Hispanics [2].On a related issue, a recent survey of engineers in industry indicates a compelling need forengineers to have strong communication skills [3]. To address these challenges, Pennsylvania State University created the EngineeringAmbassador Program: a professional development program for undergraduate engineeringstudents with an outreach mission to middle and high schools.
