Enhancing the Design and Innovation Capability - A Study on the Effectiveness of Augmented Reality and Big Data Supported Pedagogy for Undergraduate Students in Electronic Information Engineering Major

In this research, the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) and big data-based pedagogy in the integrated project for undergraduate engineering students was studied. The goal is to identify whether this new pedagogy can enhance students’ design and innovation capability to meet the new pedagogical requirements brought by the China’s new “Made-in-China 2025” industrialization plan, as well as the underlying factors behind the technologies. The research was conducted based on the students from the Electronic Information Engineering (EIE) major of Minjiang university participating the capstone project. The results indicate that well-designed AR and big databased pedagogy can apparently reduce the learning curve of students and significantly enhance the conversion from knowledge to design and technology innovation capability.
