- All Fellowship Student SurveyIn addition to the data collected from the student in the fellowship who are enrolled in STEMmajors, an extensive survey was administered to all 23 fellows in the Spring of 2024 with 21responses evenly distributed among the 3 current cohorts. The survey contained both Likert stylequantitative responses as well as long form answers to qualitative questions. Students were askedto quantify how effective they found each of the fellowship activities (scale 1-10) in shaping theirentrepreneurial journey and furthering their educational goals. These activities included coaching,mentoring, workshops and networking opportunities, and team bonding sessions. The results areshown in Figure 9. For clarity, the vertical scale is

This research seeks to bridge the gap between theory andpractice, offering a practical curriculum informed by the latest educational research andtechnological advancements. To this end, this project provides an initial investigation into thefollowing questions: 1) To what extent does VR support acquiring the procedural knowledge andmotor skills expected in robotics programming? 2) To what extent does this curriculumcontribute to students' mastery of robotics programming principles and ability to apply theseskills in complex tasks? 3) To what extent does this curriculum influence students' intereststoward a future career in a related

Much of the history of engineering education has revolved around mathand science so deeply that students expect they must excel at both if pursuing engineering as acareer [1]. However, at the onset of the century, the National Academy of Engineering publisheda study stressing the need to prepare for the future of engineering and called for a transformationto our engineering education landscape [2]. While math and science are vital to understandingand applying foundational concepts in engineering, the field has grown beyond this limiteddefinition and requires engineers become involved with design activities to adequately identifyproblems and create solutions [3], [4].

Taken together, our findings suggest that students can makediverse connections to engineering mechanics concepts and their personal lives in ways that cangenerate motivation and interest. While it is perhaps unsurprising that students were able to makeconnections between engineering in general and personal usefulness, it is noteworthy thatstudents made these connections with technical mechanics concepts in particular (e.g., impulsemomentum, work-energy, equilibrium).
