Discussion

Experimental study reveals virtual reality enhances usability and reduces workload in engineering education, suggesting effective learning support.

Participants in the VR-based condition reported higher usability and lower perceived workload compared to traditional methods.
No significant differences in test scores were found across slides-based, VR-based, and physical model-based conditions.
The study used the ICAP framework to ensure comparability in cognitive engagement across learning conditions.
VR shows promise as an effective alternative in engineering education by enhancing usability and reducing cognitive workload.

Giussani et al. (2025) studied this question.
