Exploration of Application Models of AR Technology in Industry-Education Integration Teaching in Mechanical Engineering: A Case Study of Hebei University of Science and Technology

Abstract

As the continuously developing of intelligent manufacturing and industrial upgrade, there are higher demands on the practical ability, job adaptability and engineering literacy of talents trained by the mechanical discipline but currently the teaching in the mechanical discipline is often facing problems such as disconnecting with industry, not integrating real enterprise scenarios well, lack of practical training resources which restricts the improvement of educational effectiveness of industry-education integration. Augmented reality (AR) technology has characteristics like virtual-real integration, real-time interaction, 3D visualization and scenario simulation provides a new way to teach reform in the mechanical discipline. In this paper we review the practical difficulty in current industry-education integration teaching in the mechanical discipline from its present situation, analyse the advantage of AR technology in empowering industry-education integration teaching, propose a school-enterprise dual-teacher teaching mode based on AR technology and then implement it into course teaching at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Hebei University of Science and Technology. Study results indicate that AR technology can greatly improve the intuitiveness of cognition of mechanical structure, standardize learning operation procedure, making the teaching contextual; it can effectively make up for the shortcoming of traditional teaching about insufficient equipment resource, difficult to understand processes, shallow industry-education integration, high safety risk, etc., giving some references for teaching reform in industry-education integration in the mechanical discipline.
