Abstract

Technology in teaching and learning is crucial as we are now focusing on 21st Century Learning. Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected many sectors, including education sectors, where most educators are continuously looking for approach and tools to enhance their teaching deliveries to ensure students can still learn effectively even though most of the classes are currently conducted online. Other than that, students also have problems with their visualization skills when learning engineering drawing, which caused a lack of understanding of the content, thus making it even harder for them to learn in this situation. Technology such as augmented reality is a well-received technology application due to its benefit in enhancing users’ learning experiences, enhancing visualization skills, and supplementing materials more effectively. Thus, this paper aims to describe Augmented Reality Engineering Drawing Apps (AREDApps) development process, a mobile augmented reality apps for orthographic projection topic in engineering drawing subject, highlight the students’ perception when using AREDApps during learning and introduce the engineering drawing learning framework based on AREDApps implementation in the classroom. The result indicates that students were mostly satisfied with augmented reality technology to learn orthographic projection. This is because AREDApps helps them supplement the information that cannot be delivered by using modules or PowerPoint presentation such as the three-dimensional representations of the task given to them. The findings of this paper strengthen the facts that augmented reality is a suitable technology to teach complex technical subjects, which requires supplementary materials that can help students to be able to visualize the task effectively.
