Additionally, the study relied on immediate, self-reported feedback, which may notaccurately reflect long-term learning outcomes. The application currently focuses on specificrebar configurations for columns and beams, limiting its applicability to other structuralcomponents and potentially broader engineering contexts. Future research could expand theparticipant pool to include students from multiple institutions and academic levels, enhancing therepresentativeness of the results. Longitudinal studies could examine the impact of repeated useof the AR application on knowledge retention and practical skills. Expanding the application’sscope to cover

These cases show that a hybrid approach using the bestelements based on country-specific advantages is possible and highly practical. For example,the Middle East should use photovoltaic systems due to the abundance of solar radiation.Northern Europe could use wind and geothermal to accommodate the lack of sunlight duringwinter.

through pre-class interaction with course materials whileuncovering hidden thought processes to guide the design of skill-focused in-class activities.Implementation of pre-class pedagogical approaches such as pre-class quizzes and exercises,flipped classrooms, and just-in-time teaching (JiTT) demonstrate positive impacts on studentperformance, student engagement, conceptual understanding, and long-term retention [1]-[4].Grounded in cognitive load and constructivist learning theories, these approaches break downcomplex topics into smaller, manageable ‘chunks’ while providing a contextualized foundationfor learning [5]-[6]. Reduced cognitive load minimizes stress on students and generates apositive environment for student participation on topics
