VR enriches student's learning experience at MCAST

Research consistently highlights how VR systems can significantly enhance students' learning performance. Recently, students MCAST had the opportunity to explore a VR system that demonstrates how flow rate and pressure change within a plumbing system when a valve is opened or closed. This hands-on experience, combined with a foundational on-boarding session by Ing Mariella Schembri and Ing. Bonnie Attard covering the underlying theory, allowed students to deepen their understanding through practical application.

To evaluate the impact of these tools on student learning, CAP and UEQ tests were conducted to assess their experiences and the effectiveness of VR in complementing theoretical education. The enthusiasm and engagement from students reinforce the potential of integrating such innovative systems into the learning process, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
