“…VR also enables engineering students to visit laboratories or remote places. These types of simulations took the form of a virtual laboratory addressing fluid flow in porous media [68], a remote solar thermal power plant [9], a photovoltaic laboratory [57], an industrial plant of a tank for learning the cascade control technique of industrial processes [52], and a virtual riverbank that allowed students to measure river flow with different virtual instruments [10].…”

Engineering education refers to developing an understanding of the principles, methods, and ways of thinking that underlie engineering, and preparing students and engineers for productive engineering careers. The purpose of this review is to explore how head‐mounted display‐based virtual reality (HMD VR) can contribute to these goals. Historically, engineering has not been a focus for VR in education. However, recent technical advances and decreasing prices are driving a growing public interest in applying HMD VR in this field. This article reviews 47 publications on this topic, primarily appearing from 2015 to May of 2020. The literature reveals that engineering researchers and instructors have broadly explored the potential of HMD VR in organized engineering instruction and training. However, rigorous evaluation appears to be somewhat lacking in the reviewed research, and most studies are conducted in a small‐scale laboratory setting. Nonetheless, HMD VR seems to be able to motivate students to learn and it is perceived to be useful in engineering education. Researchers are recommended to explore the methods of using HMD VR to facilitate lifelong learning, especially for the retraining and re‐employment of engineers who seek to change careers or collaborate with researchers in different disciplines. Engineering instructors may benefit from professional development that focuses on student‐centered pedagogies and skills attuned to the latest HMD VR systems.

In diesem Beitrag stellt sich Juniorprofessorin Sulamith C. Frerich von der Ruhr-Universita ¨t Bochum (RUB) vor. Sie gibt Einblick in aktuelle Forschungsfragen und zeigt, wie sie universita ¨re Aufgaben mit außeruniversita ¨rer Forschung verbindet. Fachlich berichtet sie aus Kunststoffcharakterisierung und -verarbeitung sowie numerischer Simulation und Prozessoptimierung. Fu ¨r die anwendungsnahe Kompositherstellung aus Polymeren und Wirkstoffen nennt sie zwei Beispiele und beschreibt, wie sie den Transfer gestaltet. Zusa ¨tzlich erla ¨utert sie, wie Online-Lehre in der Verfahrenstechnik funktioniert.

“…The purpose of this work is twofold: (a) reduce high investment and operating costs of equipment and processes in physical laboratories and (b) meet requirement of companies by educating engineers with skills and abilities such as design and implementation of automatic systems for manufacturing processes. In a recent work by Trentsios et al, 8 remote labs and virtual reality are combined to benefit from each other thereby enhancing the educational value. The creation of a virtual environment is proposed by establishing two different approaches: (i) 360° imaging to represent the physical lab and (ii) a virtual three‐dimensional (3D) model of existing physical lab.…”

This article describes the establishment of a virtual metal casting lab at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) and its relevance in engineering education (teaching and research). The main objective of this work is to communicate the importance of virtual metal casting in engineering education and research, and to provide a framework for establishing and developing a lab to expand research in the area. Casting simulation softwares are briefly introduced followed by the details of setting up the lab and utilization of MAGMASoft at KFUPM. This includes methods of acquiring licenses of the software and its training, collaboration with the local industries, learning and capacity building at KFUPM at several stages. The utilization of casting simulations in undergraduate and graduate teaching, and in funded research projects reflects the continuous development of teaching and research skills of students, instructors, and researchers at the institution. Evaluation of virtual casting lab is discussed. Invigorated by encouraging results of the existing lab, an extension in the lab is proposed leading to a virtual casting quality center at KFUPM. It is expected that the results presented in this study will encourage institutes, universities, and industries in the region to develop in‐house virtual casting facilities for expanding research and development in the field.
