The paper discusses the use of virtual technology as a teaching aide as well as a communication tool for the new generation of students who not only have a passing interest but also will feel the benefits that the system will bring to new global designer/engineer. The aim has been to immerse the designer into the world around him and let him/her learn about assembly and manufacturing in a very new way. This will enable us to tap into the group projects and allow a more virtual interactive process. A world full of possibilities where the academic and the student are truly interactive. New innovative teaching pedagogies and techniques are created which should help improve student experience and recruitment in the long run.
Teaching large groups of varying abilities and course ideologies has always been a problem. Many tools have been implemented and suggested over time. The paper highlights these tools and then sets the scene for the use of Virtual Reality and why it is the tool to use. This paper will look at how VR, through case studies, has been used to enhance the teaching and learning of Design and Engineering students. The pitfalls and the lessons learnt which would feed into the next iteration of the process. A discussion of the relationship of these tools and nurturing creativity is also included in the study. It is always, envisioned at the start, what would the ideal platform and outcome should be and then reflect critically on what was achieved because it was achievable.
