Augmented Reality in Training Engineering Students: Teaching Methods

Abstract

The research aim. The research is intended to theoretically substantiate, develop and test methods of applying augmented reality to training future engineers. The research tasks include adaptation of augmented reality tools to apply them to laboratory classes while training future engineers; visualization of theoretical models of physical phenomena and processes using augmented reality tools; theoretical substantiation and development of methods of applying augmented reality to training future engineers. The research object is training future engineers at engineering universities. The research subject is methods of applying augmented reality to training future engineers. The research results are the following. There are analyzed national and foreign researches into issues of applying augmented reality to training future engineers at engineering universities. The augmented reality tools (HP Reveal) is adapted to be used in laboratory classes in physics while training future engineers. There are created augmented reality objects in the form of educational videos in which the structure of laboratory machines and procedures of working with them are explained. Methods of applying augmented reality to training future engineers at engineering universities are developed.
