Revolutionizing construction engineering education : A virtual reality approach for enhanced training and optimization

Abstract

This research explores an innovative approach in construction engineering education, leveraging virtual reality for enhanced training and optimization. Traditional methods in this field often face difficulties offering hands-on experiences and practical simulations. The proposed method uses VR technologies to generate immersive and interactive learning environments, giving students authentic scenarios to refine their abilities. By integrating VR simulations into the curriculum, learners can participate in virtual construction projects, allowing experiential learning without constraints of physical space or safety issues. The optimization aspect focuses on refining educational processes, adapting material to individual learning styles, and incorporating real-time feedback mechanisms. This study aims to revolutionize construction engineering education, providing a dynamic, efficient, and safe platform for skill development, ultimately producing well-prepared professionals ready to address the complexities of the industry. The research contributes to the ongoing discussion on creative educational methodologies and their application to address challenges in construction engineering training.
