Research on the application of augmented and virtual
reality (AVR) in education shows that students selfmotivation
and performance increases as well as their
attractiveness to new ICT-enhanced classes. The aim of
this article is to explore the use of AVR as an engaging
learning tool for engineering education and to present a
framework for an AVR-lab for engineering education.
The AVR-lab will encourage teachers to adapt
classroom practices for state-of-the-art lectures that
integrate AVR educational technology. The graduates of
AVR-enhanced curriculum will attain new
competencies in AVR, which industry analysts
anticipate are vital for the 21st century labour market.
