A Practical, Simulation Based Approach to the Teaching of Engine Mapping and Calibration Fundamentals

Design and Evaluation of Virtual Compression Testing Machine Based on Multilayer Perceptron for Vocational-Education Virtual Laboratory

“…Research on VLab category 2 included the hardware-in-loop (HiL) engine test cell simulator and standalone software-based calibration demonstrator. HiL has an embedded system that combines a virtual engine and hardware version such as the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to provide correct and precise machine mapping experience and calibration procedures [21]. Greenlaw et al [22] used Quality Improvement (QI) simulation for pediatric resident virtual practicum.…”

“…Most of the practicum in engineering education is carried out by using machines, therefore VLab development requires a VM [2] or a virtual engine [21]. As the number of students increased, Tanyildizi & Orhan [1] created virtual power machines to replace traditional analog voltmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, digital multimeter, and oscilloscope.…”

“…VM development can be done by utilizing statistical models, mathematical models, and soft computing. Moraitis et al [21] built a HiL engine test cell simulator and standalone software-based calibration demonstrator using mathematical formulas and programming using MATLAB. Tanyildizi & Orhan [1] utilized the mathematical model programmed with Borland C ++ Builder, CGI toolkit, HTML, and ASP programming languages to build an electrical VM.…”

A Dual-Stream Recurrent Neural Network for Student Feedback Prediction using Kinect

“…While in other virtual laboratory implementations, part of the experiment is carried out in physical equipment and the rest uses computer simulation. An example in the literature is the engine calibration lab at the University of Bradford [7]. E-learning based hands-on training and experimental demonstration have been used for numerous purposes.…”
