The Application of Virtual Simulation Technology in Vocational Education from the Perspective of New Engineering

Abstract

This article delves into the application and effectiveness of virtual simulation technology in vocational education within the context
of the new engineering discipline. With the emergence of new engineering education, traditional educational models have become inadequate
in meeting the demand for cultivating high-quality engineering and technical talents. As an emerging educational tool, virtual simulation
technology exhibits significant advantages in new engineering education. Using the Internet of Things Communication Technology course
as an example, this empirical study assesses the specific impact of virtual simulation technology on students learning outcomes. The research
reveals that virtual simulation technology not only remarkably enhances students learning effectiveness and interest but also effectively
compensates for the shortcomings of traditional practical teaching. By constructing a highly realistic and safe practical environment, this
technology enables students to practice repeatedly in a simulated setting, thereby deepening their understanding of professional knowledge
and improving skill levels. Nevertheless, virtual simulation technology has certain limitations that require collective efforts from educational
institutions, enterprises, and researchers to address. The study provides strong support for teaching method reforms in the new engineering
discipline and anticipates the future development prospects of virtual simulation technology in vocational education.
