Abstract
The integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive systems including augmented/virtual/mixed realities (AR/VR/MR) into engineering education can significantly enhance student engagement through their personalized and self-paced learning capabilities. Their virtual laboratories also make it possible for students and tutors to replicate real-life and often complex engineering activities within hazardfree environments with high repeatability. Therefore, this paper investigates the benefits of integrating digital tools into technical programmes delivered within higher education institutions (HEIs), with a focus on engineering programmes. The discussion covers student experiences, teaching quality and efficiency, feedback and comments, etc. Moreover, the challenges and concerns of using digital tools in HEIs are also considered, with an overarching aim of contributing to the ongoing discussions around the pros and cons of such tools on knowledge management.
