Immersive VR in Engineering Curriculum: A Systematic Review of Effectiveness, Methodological Rigor, and Strategic Implementation

This dataset supports the systematic review titled \Immersive VR in Engineering Curriculum: A Systematic Review of Effectiveness, Methodological Rigor, and Strategic Implementation.\ It contains structured data extracted from 54 empirical studies published between 2020 and 2024 that implemented immersive virtual reality (VR) in engineering education.The dataset includes:Study metadata (authors, year, country)VR type (HMD, CAVE, etc.)Engineering domain (mechanical, civil, electrical, etc.)Study design (experimental, quasi-experimental, etc.)Sample size and participant detailsOutcome measures (e.g., engagement, conceptual understanding, usability)Statistical results and reported effect sizes (if available)Risk of Bias assessments (ROB2 framework)The dataset is intended to promote transparency, support reproducibility, and enable future meta-analyses and comparative research in educational technology and instructional design.
