Augmented reality application in engineering education: N-Type MOSFET

Abstract

In a period of rapid adaptation to technology in today’s world, limiting education to traditional methods leads to a rapid decline in the perception and interest of the learner. Augmented Reality (AR), which is among the most interesting technological innovation of the last years, are manifested in many sectors. It is used more widely in the field of education thanks to its superior advantages such as being portable, adapting to different devices/equipment, offering interactive digital content and arousing interest. In this study, AR application has been realized for the modeling of N-type MOSFET element, which is one of the basic courses of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and is widely used in analog and digital circuits. The contribution of the application to students’ perception of theoretical concepts was also examined. It concluded that AR made an important contribution to the concretization of abstract concepts and the developed educational material increased the motivation of the students.
