eXtended Reality for Civil Engineering

The course teaches students the fundamental knowledge and key skills required to apply XR - eXtended Reality (i.e., Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed reality) to Civil Engineering systems. It covers the core concepts of XR, tools, and techniques for XR development, and how to design and develop XR research applications (incl. data collection and analysis). Moreover, this course highlights the application of XR for CE systems, including transportation, structure, construction, and infrastructure. All students will obtain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art XR technologies, including development platforms (e.g., Unreal Engine) and hardware (VR, AR, and MR headsets), and learn how to apply XR to CE practice and research.

Enrollment information: Based on the current course, and the planned assignments, a minimum of 6 students will be required to enroll in the course. A maximum of 45 students is also in effect.
