Abstract

This article explores the integration of virtual reality (VR) and associated technologies in engineering education, focusing on the pedagogical approaches adopted in this integration, which we refer to as immersive engineering education. This study considers the application possibilities and the transformative impact of VR on engineering education. The article addresses the critical collection and analysis of VR applications in engineering education. It covers main VR-related papers published from 2015 to February 2024 and indexed in Scopus, Web of Sciences, or both, and discussing design, development challenges, and collaborative tools. Empirical evidence showcases improved engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. The findings offer modern insights for educators and researchers on leveraging VR for impactful learning experiences, while also noting the need for further research in this evolving field.

Abstract

The Smile project is an engineering service-learning initiative carried out through collaboration between Chouaib Doukkali University in Morocco and Pusan National University in South Korea. Since 2016, this project has been conducted annually for engineering students from both universities. Participants are selected through an oral interview, ensuring representation from different majors, years, and genders. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project transitioned to an online mode starting from 2020. The objective of this article is to investigate the impact of the service-learning approach on learning and its potential for enhancing engineering education. This study aims to compare the face-to-face and online implementations of the Smile project as examples of this educational approach. The analysis demonstrates a strong positive effect of engineering service-learning as a learning approach, leading to the improvement of engineering students' skills and competencies. Notably, there is minimal difference between the two implementation modes of this learning approach.
