3 Department of Engineering Education, North Carolina State University, North Carolina, USA 4 Industrial and Operations Engineering, University of Michigan, Michigan, USAAbstractAugmented reality (AR) is gaining traction as a visualization tool for STEM education and professionalpractice. AR technology can facilitate immersive and interactive learning experiences that cannot bereplicated with traditional teaching methods. This methods paper discusses a novel study design andassessment framework that was designed to systematically evaluate an educational AR game-basedlearning (GBL) application (AR-GBL). Using mixed methods to assess learning outcomes over time, thisframework may help address
