As it is not efficient to implement the whole applicationfrom scratch for every new project, it is important to encapsulate functionalities in classes forreasons of reuse. Depending on the concrete device, by means of these classes (or interfaces),generic functions such as specific communication protocols or easy access to specific devicescan be realized. These existing classes can (if necessary) be modified or extended and then beintegrated into the application.Hence, notable potentials result for industrial

In addition, the tours included hands-on learning, where students not only receiveddemonstrations of machinery and robots, but also were allowed to test some of the equipment inthe laboratories. The demonstrations enriched learning for the engineering students because theywere not only able to hear and see technology, but they were able to experience it, too. All toooften, students recognize technology, but don’t quite understand and appreciate it.
