Virtual Reality uses in civil engineering education in order to create 3D models. It helps the tools and visualization of the techniques as part of the design process. It is also used for commercial industries such as education, communications, medicine, and entertainment.
For example, the European Commission Education & Training 2020 and the report âModernization Agenda of Higher Educationâ state that preparing future employees that will meet the marketâs needs is one of the biggest challenges we face.
But why is that so?There are certainly a few factors playing a role in this matter.
We see nowadays more and more students who must undergo specific training programs offered by future employers before being hired despite them having completed the required academic education.This is particularly the case with young electrical engineers.
In contrast to what most think, this technology is not that young.
Around 2010 VR regained its attention and could finally become available to everyone.
For instance, VR is helping people who have suffered leg injuries to regain their ability to walk in a shorter time than traditional therapies and with much less pain.
