Virtual Reality Technology (VR) has quickly became the focus of global attention in 2016.Based on long-term engineering education reform and innovation and application for the VR innovation and cooperation, School of Electronics and Information Technology in South China University of Technology took the lead in the development of VR technology in engineering education related to the exploration work in the whole country. Relying on the Engineering Training Steering Committee of Guangdong Province undergraduate colleges and universities, and the instructional committee of electronic information specialty of undergraduate colleges and universities in Guangdong Province,it successfully held the engineering education development and VR technology in college experimental teaching application seminar in Liwu technology building of Wushan campus on July 9, 2016.

This meeting attracted the major universities and VR industry leaders in the province come to participate in the seminar. Guangdong Province Department of Education Department of Higher Education Director Zheng Wen made an important speech and participated in the seminar, South China University of Technology Qiu Xueqing Vice President and Assistant to the President, Dean Li Zheng also attended the meeting. Professor Xu Zhenhui, Vice Chairman of the Expert Committee on Engineering Education Certification of the Ministry of Education, Prof. Xu Xiangmin, Chairman of the Steering Committee of Engineering and Training of Guangdong Province undergraduate course, General Manager of Guangzhou Digital Entertainment Technology Co., Ltd. Mr. Lin Yunfan, General Manager of Wuhan Xianyan Information Technology Co., Ltd.Mr. Liu Weihua , Guangdong Province undergraduate college electronic information professional teaching guidance committee vice chairman and secretary general manager Professor Li Bin were carried out to increase the engineering and technical personnel training reform, VR technology in Guangdong province engineering training and experimental teaching application development plan , VR technology progress status , VR technology under the talent revolution , VR technology in microelectronics professional teaching application thinking and other special reports respectively.

In the meeting,the participants had a lively discussion on the application of the VR technology in engineering education.They believed that VR technology had immersive, somatosensory interaction and 3D detail rendering and other characteristics, so that users transformed from the traditional computer technology in the bystander into participants, which is the best solution of the major bottlenecks in the implementation of engineering education network needinglearners to become the participants . Participants were very optimistic about the direction of VR education development, gave a high evaluation on Guangdong VR engineering education related work planning and production and teaching cooperation model and believed that the relevant work would be established in Guangdong Province in the field of VR engineering education in the field of leading edge and do make an important contribution.
