A Proposal for Expanding Engineering Computer Lab for Education 4.0
This proposal will expand the current computer lab into VR/AR/MR
technologies to create a metaverse learning environment for engineering
students, Soylu & Lee (2023). The proposal emphasizes the rapid evolution
of user experience (UX) and "meta realities" as drivers for this
expansion, Pyae et al. (2023). These technologies are essential for preparing
students for Industry 4.0 and Education 4.0, Castro et al. (2024). There is
great potential for VR/AR technology applications in subjects like calculus,
where students can visualize 3-D curves, and chemical engineering, where
students can virtually explore chemical plants. This proposal also implements
the guidelines for designing practical user experiences in these immersive
environments:
●Organizing the spatial environment for efficiency and flexibility5.
●Prioritizing user comfort and avoiding overwhelming experiences.
●Considering hardware limitations and using cues to guide users.
●Creating compelling experiences grounded in real-world knowledge.
●Empowering users with control and opportunities for trial and error.

al., 2019)
By moving into Education
4.0, which is part of Industry 4.0, we will be integrating AR/VR/MR,
personalized learning, UX, collaboration & social interaction, improved
accessibility and affordability, ethics, teacher training, and continued
R&D and including the new organization, Artificial Intelligence Information
Systems, AIIS, Collins et al. (2021).
We must be a part of that!
