Abstract: Mechanical manufacturing processes is one of the core courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum at higher education institutions, characterized by its strong theoretical, engineering, and interdisciplinary nature. However, most domestic universities still adopt a traditional teaching model that emphasizes theory over practice, preventing students from fully understanding and applying relevant knowledge from an engineering application perspective. Therefore, this paper proposes using virtual reality (VR) technology as a supplementary teaching tool to leverage its immersive audiovisual effects to solve the teaching difficulties of difficult to display real scenes in the classroom teaching process. The approach involves a teaching framework centered around the textbook, with the instructor as the leader. Finally, a diversified, multidimensional, and multi-feedback student evaluation system is proposed, with VR technology at its core.
