Engineering education in particular requires substantial equipment and apparatus and this poses safety risks as well as financial constraints. Recent pandemic has also affected engineering education teaching and learning process as all the classes as well as laboratory sessions need to be conducted via online distance learning (ODL) method. Therefore, this research selects Augmented Reality (AR) Method for innovative teaching and learning process. AR is known for its ability to overlay rich media into the real world by viewing through web-enabled devices such as phones and tablets, making it accessible anywhere anytime. In addition to improving interest and motivation of students during learning process, AR could also address the financial and space constraints pertaining to science and technology laboratory equipment and apparatus. In this research, an AR has been developed according to system development method by using Assemblr application. The developed AR system is then given to selected educators for them to evaluate in terms of their awareness and the system's usability. The educators' responses are obtained through a questionnaire survey and the findings are then analysed and presented in this paper. The responses are taken into account for improving the AR system and the development process will be continued in parallel with more testings. The final prototype will then be implemented in real classes in the future.
