StructARLearn: An Augmented Reality Platform for Enhancing Structural Engineering Pedagogy

Abstract

Structural engineering education has traditionally relied on textbooks, classroom lectures, and two-dimensional diagrams. However, students often struggle to translate these abstract resources into an understanding of real-world structural behavior. This limitation hinders their ability to connect theory with practice. To address this challenge, this paper proposes StructARLearn, a novel software platform derived from Structure + AR (Augmented Reality) + Learning. StructARLearn is an Augmented Reality (AR)-based platform designed to provide immersive, interactive, and experiential learning opportunities in structural engineering. It integrates AR visualizations, real-time finite element simulations, and interactive modules that enable students to apply loads, visualize deformations, and observe structural responses in real-world contexts through mobile devices or AR glasses. By bridging theoretical knowledge with practice, the platform improves comprehension, retention, and engagement. This paper presents the conceptualization and development methodology of StructARLearn, reviews related literature on AR in engineering pedagogy, outlines the framework of the platform, and discusses its anticipated benefits, challenges, and implications for large-scale adoption.
