Research output: Contribution to journal › Special issue

Abstract

The Oil & Gas Institute in the School of Engineering at Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Aberdeen, Scotland has made significant investment in developing methods to ensure its graduates are “industry-ready”. As visits to oil rigs are not often possible or practical for students it was decided to develop a virtual space for students to familiarise themselves with aspects of the offshore environment in a virtual environment. Such simulation tools give students immersive experiences that can increase their desirability to employers.
