Abstract: This study presented work considering the development and initial assessment of an augmented reality approach to provide a user interface for operators that could be a part of an equipment maintenance and diagnostics system. Its purpose was to provide an equipment system for graduate students of engineering and technology to experiment with the design of augmented reality technology. The proposed system took place three hours per week over a period of four weeks of corrective actions that were triggered in the Department of Industrial Education and Technology at the National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan. The students adopted augmented reality technology to achieve big data acquisition and analysis for pre-diagnostic and maintenance applications. Preliminary assessment of the proposed system was encouraging and showed that it achieved success in helping students understand concepts and using augmented reality technology for equipment maintenance and diagnostics. The study provided important initial insights into its impact on student learning.
