Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) technology has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential to transform various aspects of education, including technical education. This thesis explores the implementation of VR technology to enhance technical education by providing an immersive and interactive learning experience. The research investigates the impact of VR technology on student engagement, knowledge retention, and skill development in technical subjects. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the study, including the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definitions of key terms. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review covering ten key aspects related to VR technology in education. Chapter 3 outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. Chapter 4 presents a detailed discussion of the findings from the study, focusing on the impact of VR technology on technical education outcomes. The chapter explores the benefits and challenges of implementing VR technology in technical education and discusses the implications for educators and students. Chapter 5 provides a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, contributions to the field, recommendations for future research, and implications for practice. The findings of this study suggest that VR technology has the potential to significantly enhance technical education by providing a more engaging and effective learning environment. The immersive nature of VR simulations can help students better understand complex technical concepts, improve practical skills through hands-on experiences, and increase motivation and interest in technical subjects. However, challenges such as cost, technical requirements, and access to VR resources need to be addressed to ensure equitable implementation across educational settings. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on the use of VR technology in education and provides insights into the potential benefits and challenges of integrating VR into technical education curricula. The findings of this study can inform educators, policymakers, and technology developers on best practices for implementing VR technology to enhance technical education and prepare students for success in a rapidly evolving technical landscape.
