Abstract
Research on the application of augmented and virtual

reality (AVR) in education shows that students self-

motivation and performance increases as well as their

attractiveness to new ICT-enhanced classes. The aim of

this article is to explore the use of AVR as an engaging

learning tool for engineering education and to present a

framework for an AVR-lab for engineering education.

The AVR-lab will encourage teachers to adapt

classroom practices for state-of-the-art lectures that

integrate AVR educational technology. The graduates of

AVR-enhanced

curriculum

will

attain new

competencies in AVR, which industry analysts

anticipate are vital for the 21st century labour market.
