“…Diedro‐3D is an application that addresses the challenges that architecture students face when using descriptive geometry , giving students greater autonomy to study geometry. In , a project to develop, build up, and evaluate solutions for virtual mobility and e‐learning in biomedical engineering is presented. The authors included different educational materials to provide students with the possibility to revise course contents at any time, place, or pace.…”

Teaching agile practices is becoming a priority in Software engineering curricula as a result of the increasing use of agile methods (AMs) such as Scrum in the software industry. Limitations in time, scope, and facilities within academic contexts hinder students' hands‐on experience in the use of professional AMs. To enhance students' exposure to Scrum, we have developed Virtual Scrum, an educational virtual world that simulates a Scrum‐based team room through virtual elements such as blackboards, a Web browser, document viewers, charts, and a calendar. A preliminary version of Virtual Scrum was tested with a group of 45 students running a capstone project with and without Virtual Scrum support. Students' feedback showed that Virtual Scrum is a viable and effective tool to implement the different elements in a Scrum team room and to perform activities throughout the Scrum process. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…As this process unit constitutes a good example of a multivariable system, it is also often used in control education. A virtual laboratory intended to illustrate the dynamic behavior of an industrial boiler that operates under two different control strategies (manual and decentralized PID) is described in [21,22]. The input of liquid water is placed at the boiler bottom and the vapor output valve is placed at the top.…”

Rand Model Designer (RMD) is a modeling environment that supports Model Vision Language, an objectoriented modeling language for hybrid-DAE systems. ModelVision Language allows describing the continuous-time part of the model combining the use of equations (i.e., acausal modeling) and sequences of assignment statements. The hybrid behavior is described using behavior charts (B-chart). A Bchart is a diagram consisting of modes, transitions internal to the modes and transitions between modes. The activity of the mode is specified by a local class (the so-called activity class of the mode) that describes the system structure and behavior while in this mode. The system of equations that describes the complete model at certain time is automatically built by RMD at run time. Every time a transition takes place (i.e., the model structure changes), RMD constructs the mathematical description of the actual model, eliminates the redundant variables and trivial equations resulting from component connections, analyzes the model solvability and structure, selects the best-suited numerical method and generates the input to this numerical method. This approach provides high flexibility in the description of variable structure models. This feature is demonstrated using variable structure models arisen in two different applications. The first application is the runtime change in the selection of the model state variables. Support for several selections of the state variables is typically required in interactive simulations. The second application is the description of systems with variable behavior. The model of an industrial boiler is used to illustrate the description of this type of variable structure models.

Since operation of virtual winder can relieve the problem of lack of experiment on real equipments, virtual winder can be valuable complements to physical winder operation experiment. Virtools is the most widely used software for creating 3D VR environment. In this article, using Virtools to construct a virtual winder is demonstrated in detail by dividing the whole process into five steps: (1) creates 3D winder models in 3ds Max; (2) exports the models to Virtools format using Expert plugins (3ds Max Exporter); (3) designs scenes including cameras and lighters; (4) constructs the virtual winder including Behavior Building Block (BB), Scripts, and Virtools Scripting Language (VSL); (5) synthesizes and exports interactive coursewares of the virtual winder. The considerations and discussions in this article may be useful for building system of virtual education equipment in other subject areas. ß
