Abstract


Using virtual environments as teaching aids has been increasingly common in recent decades. Virtual Reality (VR) has recently gained popularity in construction engineering education and training (CEET). Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) interfaces have proven benefits in Engineering Education. In fact, VR interfaces offer new ways to improve user knowledge transfer and communication. Therefore, this study aims to describe an immersive VR interface built for aspiring Civil Engineering students. The development of the VR consists of three main stages: needs assessment, development, and testing. Furthermore, the statistics technique was used for examining the initial use of VR. The VR was developed to promote Civil Engineering students while also fostering their interest in Information Technology. Also, statistically, VR integration in civil engineering education can improve learning performance.
