Enhancing geotechnical site investigation and project-based education through virtual reality: the GeoSim experience
Résumé
This paper presents GeoSim, a virtual reality (VR) tool designed to enhance geotechnical site investigation and project-based education. GeoSim offers an immersive experience, allowing engineering students to be immersed into a real-world site investigation project for a building construction. They can optionally access short but engaging multimedia educational materials as reminders of the general approach and usual testing methods. By addressing the limitations of traditional teaching methods, GeoSim provides a cost-effective and logistically feasible alternative. Allowing students to iteratively change their initial choices and progressively improve their ground model, is a key feature for developing their decision-making skills. GeoSim integration in the project-based learning activities is expected to significantly enhance students' understanding and application of site investigation process, making it a valuable resource for geotechnical engineering education.
