On the Use of Virtual Reality-Based Engineering Education

Abstract: Uses of virtual reality are very much increasing day-by-day in the era of science and technology. Many areas of engineering education, training, demonstration, researches and higher education using virtual reality offers more innovative and challenging opportunities. The cost of engineering education is always very high. In this area, learner improves their skills and knowledge by using the different tools, techniques and processes and reduces the cost. After improving software and hardware, tools and instruments by virtual reality the engineering education are now in easier, sophisticated way, attractive and cheaper. Here, more difficult problems like as 3D digital technologies, medical training, and military training etc. in engineering education are presented and analyzed by using the implementation of virtual reality, so that the learner’s get educational benefits by using virtual reality technics.

Key words: engineering education; researches; training; virtual reality; 3D digital technologies
