This research intents to evaluate the potential of virtual reality as a teaching tool in the teaching-learning process in the formation of new engineering professionals, seeking to minimize the relationship between theory, practice, such knowledge contextualization and their applicability, because this is one of major current problem today in several engineering schools, still showing interactivity as one of its main characteristics, as well as his great power simulation. For such a virtual learning environment was developed in virtual reality on the platform of Virtual Authoring System Technical Instructions that shows the step by step process of the executive masonry and then applied to a case study with students from first semester of courses related to the area construction, which made considerable gains knowledge of concepts related to the theme and the execution sequence of masonry.
