VIRTUAL REALITY IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION: APPLICATION OF SCENARIOS TO PRODUCTIVE LAYOUT

Abstract

This article discusses the teaching-learning methodologies associated with the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies applied to the development of concepts related to the productive layout. In this way, the main points about pedagogical approaches and their needs are presented, as well as the impact of the use of VR technologies and their applications, it is also discussed the opportunities to approach the referred content and focuses on in its application in the concepts of physical arrangement. Finally, an application model of the theme is elaborated with three layout scenarios applied to the productive process of manufacturing components, their characteristics, which, with some brief analyses, significant reductions of up to 54% among the applied models can be seen. Its breadth, applicability, feasibility for the educational context is also argued.
