the fullpotential of infographics not only as pedagogical aids but also as a medium for fosteringcomprehensive learning.We advocate for a dual approach that involves both the creation and use of infographics byeducators, alongside teaching students to craft their own, thereby promoting an interactive andimmersive learning environment. Critical to our discourse in advocating for infographic isempirical evidence demonstrating the superior efficacy of infographics in education whencompared to traditional teaching methods. Through a synthesis of comparative studies, studenttestimonials, and specific case studies within the realm of engineering education, we conclude thatinfographics serve as a powerful catalyst for enhancing comprehension
