Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive review of the use of Digital twins in engineering education among various disciplines. A total of 83 research papers were analyzed, spanning the last decade from 2012 to 2022. Almost all publications were reported after the year 2018, indicating a recent surge in interest and development in this area. The review reveals that digital twin technology offers students an interactive experience with virtual models of real-world products and systems, significantly enhancing theeffectiveness of engineering education. It also improves industrial competitiveness through predictive maintenance and fault diagnosis. Digital twins can be used in various engineering disciplines and for personalized learning. However, challenges such as model accuracy and data transfer must be considered when implementing them. Overall, this technologycan improve student learning outcomes, increase education accessibility and cost-effectiveness,and improve production systems'safety, visibility,and accessibility. Future requirements of the field are also discussed in this paper.
