“…However, to tackle these expanding challenges, students need a broader range of knowledge than is typically provided in standard geotechnical engineering courses. Specifically, students are often not extensively educated in soil mechanics, a core concept in geotechnical engineering, with few opportunities to apply their knowledge through experimental and laboratory work [5][6][7]. As a result, not only is education lacking, but students often see the work as uninteresting or challenging, threatening outreach to gather new students and workers in the field [8].…”

“…Many students find geotechnical engineering education to be disconnected from their interests and career aspirations, leading them to perceive geotechnical jobs as tedious, challenging, and irrelevant. As a result, current geotechnical engineering education often fails to establish a strong interaction with students [1,2]. To overcome these challenges and raise students' interest in geotechnical engineering, traditional group projects in geotechnical engineering courses are being replaced with creative, project-based participation games, such as mixed reality games, to illustrate engineering principles using real-world applications.…”
