Abstract
A study was conducted at University Tenaga Nasional to compare engineering students� preferences in using augmented reality technology user interface (UI) applications to solve selected engineering problems. The study utilized a cross-sectional design and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test approach within a controlled environment to analyse the difference in rankings of engineering applications. The study also measured learnability and assessed the software quality using questionnaire for user interaction satisfaction. The multiple function UI was found to be statistically significant more effective than the tangible user interface (TUI) for engineering students. The study provides reliable evidence that multiple function UI is a better option in engineering education than TUI. � The Author(s) 2023.
