“…As a result, the market demand for wind power personnel is increasing day by day, especially for professional-level equipment assembly and maintenance personnel. This means that colleges and universities should train high-quality wind turbine assembly or maintenance talents during the undergraduate period [9,10,15]. In engineering, undergraduate education aims to train engineers with certain skills.…”

The wind turbine components are bulky and costly. Undergraduate students majoring in wind power cannot achieve professional skills training in the laboratory. To deepen the understanding of wind turbine installation, a virtual simulation platform for the teaching exploration of wind turbine assembly practice course is developed. The goal of the platform is to build a virtual simulation installation process of each huge component of the wind turbine through the model, so that students can experience the experiential learning of the installation of the wind turbine, and experience the learning opportunities of the visualization of parts and the operability of the assembly process, so as to lay the foundation of wind power engineering practice for undergraduate students. The teaching of simulation working process based on wind turbine assembly process and performance characteristics is discussed. The results and questionnaires of students in three classes are counted. The teaching experiment shows that the average score of the experimental group is 4.5 points higher than that of the control group. This method can significantly improve students' interest in learning and academic performance, improve students' wind turbine assembly ability, and meet the actual needs of students majoring in wind power. The research shows that the platform can be effectively used as a practical teaching tool for wind power students.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has changed the development plans of every country. Instead, governments had to constantly deal with ever-emerging issues in healthcare, education, economics and industry. As a result, there has been an accelerated introduction of digitalization in these spheres. Thus, an increasing number of people have started using electronic services that have improved their digital literacy. This feature has had a positive impact on society and helped to create new interaction tools between populations and governments, students and institutions, customers and companies. The article aims to analyze how studying radio electronics can be improved by involving new tools and how they can be applied in distance learning. This work presents the results of the development and application of a virtual radio signal simulation in the educational process in the form of a laboratory practicum. Working on this approach required specific research in the field; the foreign experience was observed and studied. The review allowed us to find out how digitalization and the application of digital tools affect the behaviour, cognition, and overall performance of students during the pandemic. The authors conducted a questionnaire among students to evaluate the features of the virtual laboratory work and their effect on the educational process. The results analyzed are given in the article. They showed that students highly appreciate the introduction of such tools in learning. Moreover, like the entire laboratory, the proposed model can be used in the educational process offline and with distance learning. Finally, the article describes the experience and results of the software package’s development and integration for the spectrum analyzer’s computer model and virtual laboratory work using the MS VS environment in C ++. The results of the conducted work demonstrate the versatility of the proposed approach, its positive impact on the educational process, high potential in the other spheres.

In computer science and engineering education, teaching PC interfacing courses and laboratory experiments are strongly required. PC interfacing is the field of developing or simulating real/virtual solutions for exchanging data/commands between PC and the outer world of sensors and actuators. Recently, virtual experiments and Labs have been adopted by engineering educators to preclude the physical presence of students and tutors and to provide effective skills acquisition and hands‐on experience in a virtual manner. High‐cost LabVIEW from National Instruments company is the dominant platform to develop, execute, and animate virtual PC interfacing experiments similar to real ones. This paper presents a toolchain, the course contents, and virtual experiments that cover many different PC interfacing technologies such as UART, SPI, RS232, USB, SD card interfacing, and wireless GSM/GPRS. The virtual nature of VFST toolchain refers to enabling the students to design, animate, and run their prototypes or solutions inside only PC programs without the need to build physical or real ones until making sure of their prototypes' functionality. The main aim of the VFST platform is to make students able to develop C# based applications and to implement solutions with an aesthetic similar to LabVIEW capabilities to become a low‐cost alternative of it. VFST consists of a group of free‐of‐charge and third‐party software programs such as VSPD, Virtual USB driver, WinImage, and Real‐Term alongside with Proteus simulator and C# programming language. This paper presents qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the benefits and effectiveness of VFST. Findings are collected via feedback responses using an online questionnaire survey. These findings clarify that the student cohort is, in general, supportive that VFST Lab's content and virtual experiments have a considerable effect on their career after and before their graduation.
