Abstract (English): This study investigates the incorporation of virtual reality (VR) into industrial engineering (IE) education to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. A VR-based framework was created by conducting a systematic literature review and applying the design science research methodology (DSRM) to improve hands-on learning, to model intricate industrial systems, and to increase student engagement. The framework aims to create engaging, hands-on experiences to improve understanding and to ensure preparedness for industry. Although suggestions for improvement were provided, evaluations from experts and students using a questionnaire demonstrated the framework's potential to enhance learning outcomes. This study emphasises how VR could modernise IE education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Afrikaans): Hierdie studie ondersoek die integrasie van virtuele werklikheid (VR) in bedryfsingenieurswese-onderrig om die gaping tussen teoretiese kennis en werklike toepassing te oorbrug. 'n VR-gebaseerde raamwerk is ontwikkel deur 'n sistematiese literatuuroorsig uit te voer en die ontwerpkunde-navorsingsmetodologie (DSRM) toe te pas om praktiese leer te verbeter, ingewikkelde industriële stelsels te modelleer en studentebetrokkenheid te verhoog. Die raamwerk het ten doel om boeiende, praktiese ervarings te skep om begrip te verbeter en gereedheid vir die nywerheid te verseker. Hoewel voorstelle vir verbetering verskaf is, het evaluerings deur kundiges en studente met behulp van 'n vraelys die raamwerk se potensiaal getoon om leeruitkomste te verbeter. Hierdie studie beklemtoon hoe VR bedryfsingenieurswese-onderrig kan moderniseer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
