IChemE - Introducing VR and AR technologies into Chemical Engineering education

This event highlights the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies to address challenges faced by chemical engineering students in process design. Traditionally reliant on 2D drawings and scaled models, students often struggle to visualise actual equipment sizes and spatial relationships, leading to design distortions and conceptual gaps. Through immersive AR/VR solutions, the event demonstrates how these technologies enhance spatial understanding, improve design accuracy, and bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications. Join us to explore how immersive tech is transforming chemical engineering education and preparing students for industry-relevant, future-ready learning experiences.
