“…One of such approaches is the use of virtual reality (VR). VR can be found in various knowledge fields, such as biomedical engineering [9], construction projects [10], chemical [11], 5S training [12], civil engineering [13], manufacturing processes [14,15], physics 2 of 17 concepts [16], logistics services [17], robotics [18], industrial design [19], engine assembly [20], spatial geometry [21], urban railway vehicle engineering [22], automotive industry [23], manufacturing sustainability in Industry 4.0 [24], mechanical engineering [25,26], computer engineering [27], smart tourism [28], among others.…”

This article is about experiments investigating teaching and learning processes and their effects on students. Specifically, the laboratory experiment method aims to determine if using virtual reality in classes leads to better learning outcomes, knowledge retention, satisfaction, engagement, and attractiveness compared to traditional teaching methods. The study found that students who used VR (Experimental Group—EG) had significantly better learning outcomes (with an average of 5.9747) compared to the control group (Control Group—CG), who only had traditional classes (with an average of 4.6229). The study employed a Likert scale from 1 to 7. The difference between EG and CG was 29.2%. Furthermore, the study found that students in the EG had higher knowledge retention, satisfaction, engagement, and attractiveness compared to the CG. All measurements were above 6.4 on the same scale. This study is important because it explores innovative teaching methods and their potential to improve learning outcomes, satisfaction, and efficiency. It also opens up avenues for further research on teaching methodologies for undergraduate students.

Assessing of human exposure to electromagnetic field is one of the tasks of a telecommunication engineer. This activity has significant social interest, as the measured levels must comply with health safety limits. It is also an appealing area for students as it integrates concepts related to radiofrequency, antennas, and propagation, both theoretically and practically. We offer our students practical activities for measuring field levels, using test and measurement equipment. Additionally, we have developed a virtual reality tool to enhance our students' skills in this area, which is presented in this paper. We compare the learning outcomes of two separate groups of students to validate the performance of this new tool. The first group attended a lesson with theoretical content and then performed outdoor measurements. The second group had the added virtual reality experience before using the test equipment. Quantitative results show an improvement in the assimilation of the concepts, and qualitative feedback from the users confirms the effectiveness of this approach.
