The appendix of this paperprovides the pie-charts of surveying Electrical engineering students at the University of Utah andCalifornia State University San Marcos regarding CPS in their engineering pathway. The chartshelped us to quantitatively measure the effect of CPS and plan the educational modules andprojects based on students' interests. In these surveys, 9 EE students from California

Thisallows time for the students to explore the history and any other relevant character informationprior to roleplay participation. The next iteration of the empathy modules planned for Fall 2024will include more practical engineering example roleplays and less time talking about the skills,taking a more active approach. As evident from the increased strength of this relationship it does appear that students areexperiencing a shift in the way that they think about themselves as empathetic people andengineers. Given the inclusion of specific lesson days devoted to the topic, this is likely to haveplayed a major

interventions designed to improve student persistence across all student groups. Perhapsthe most relevant finding in support of the research discussed in this paper is that increasing thefrequency of asking students to retrieve precalculus skills improves their retention acrosssubsequent semesters, better preparing them for courses later in their plans of study and tocomplete their engineering degrees [8]. It should be noted that while that study investigated thefrequency of retrieval in a precalculus course, it follows that incorporating space retrieval withinlater mathematics courses would benefit students.Considering the impact of calculus courses on retention and persistence within engineeringprograms, there is a clear need for intervention

Students engage in a step-by-step process of planning, executing, and validating experiments within the virtual environment,allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying principles. Following the virtualsimulation phase, students transition to the physical power trainers, where they can implement andverify the same experimental methods learned in the virtual setting. This dual-phase approach notonly enhances the students' comprehension of electrical power and machinery concepts but alsoreinforces the connection between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications.In summary, the incorporation of LVSIM-EMS in ENGR 4520 and ET 4640 courses at MTSU hastransformed the traditional experimental methods.

While theworkshop was successful and attracted approximately 25 IHE instructors and resulted inincreased use of inquiry and student-led discovery in several of the mechanical and aerospaceengineering courses3, the Project Management team subsequently refined their work plan. Anunderlying concept governing the Project Management decisions was that professionaldevelopment would generally require about 100 hours of training to make notable changes inclassroom practice. The IHE workshop strategy would have only provided about ten hours oftraining over several years and even when combined with a
