Abstract

This study explores the integration of augmented reality (AR) technology into engineering education, focusing on teaching processes in the field of electrical and electronic engineering. Traditional teaching methods based on physical models have several disadvantages such as high installation and maintenance costs, and limited accessibility for students. In this context, AR offers valuable opportunities to improve students' understanding of electrical topics and facilitate learning by making abstract concepts concrete. Accordingly, this study aims to develop and test a mobile AR application that includes 3D models and animations. The AR-supported circuit analysis application developed using Unity 3D, Vuforia and 3DS Max programs was tested with the students of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and it was concluded that it works smoothly on different devices.

Özet

Bu çalışma, elektrik ve elektronik mühendisliği alanındaki öğretim süreçlerine odaklanarak, artırılmış gerçeklik (AG) teknolojisinin mühendislik eğitimine entegrasyonunu araştırmaktadır. Fiziksel modellere dayanan geleneksel öğretim yöntemleri, yüksek kurulum ve bakım maliyetleri, öğrenciler için sınırlı erişilebilirlik gibi çeşitli dezavantajlar barındırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda AG, öğrencilerin elektrik konularını anlamalarını geliştirmek ve soyut kavramları somutlaştırarak öğrenmeyi kolaylaştırmak için değerli fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada 3B modeller ve animasyonlar içeren bir mobil AG uygulamasının geliştirilmesi ve test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Unity 3D, Vuforia ve 3DS Max programları kullanılarak geliştirilen AG destekli devre analizi uygulaması Elektrik ve Elektronik Mühendisliği Bölümü öğrencileriyle test edilmiş ve farklı cihazlarda sorunsuz bir şekilde çalıştığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
