Robotics with Internet-of-Things for Student Learning on Industrial Robotics and Automation in Manufacturing AbstractThis paper explores the experience of implementing virtual reality (VR) laboratory activities withInternet-of-Things (IoT) for students to learn industrial robotics and automation in manufacturing.This work provides an innovative solution for optimizing learning effectiveness and improvingeducational outcomes through the development of VR models that can be used and integrated intothe existing robotics laboratory. We explore methods of using ABB RobotStudio to allow studentsto program traditional industrial robots using the project-based learning approach. Key features ofhow
Engineering Education, 2024 Virtual Reality Simulation of Wind TurbineAbstractThis research study presents an innovative virtual reality (VR) laboratory module aimed atenhancing green manufacturing education, particularly focusing on the intricacies of wind turbineefficiency. This VR-based educational tool provides a hands-on learning experience that simulatesthe operation of a wind turbine, allowing students to explore the dynamics of wind energyconversion. Using VR controllers and headsets, participants can interact with a virtual environmentthat includes a vertical wind turbine and a fan blower, complete with start/stop buttons and controlsfor adjusting wind speed.The virtual lab is built on the Unity 3D platform
wireless connections to machines; (LO3) identifyingproper sensors for measurement of desired data; (LO4) implementing data analytics and machinelearning tools for extraction of desired information; and (LO5) demonstrating personal andprofessional development in communication and management in the context of smartmanufacturing. The course was coupled with laboratory reports, written reports, and oralpresentations to achieve these objectives and capture evidence of students' learning and skillsdevelopment.Of particular relevance for this course was the integration of ELT principles to coordinate andorchestrate the laboratory assignments that built the necessary skills and practices so studentswould successfully complete their semester-long projects
laboratories, project- based learning, and practicum-based assessment. Dr. Ertekin serves as the faculty advisor for the student chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (S058) and is a member of the College’s Undergradu- ate Curriculum Committee. Involved in research, Ertekin has received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), private foundations, and industry. His research has focused on the improvement of manufacturing laboratories and curricula and the adoption of process simulation into machining and addi- tive manufacturing practices. His areas of expertise are in CAD/CAM, manufacturing processes, machine and process design with CAE methods, additive and subtractive manufacturing, quality control
providinginformation on what it is like to work at a shipyard.The guest lecture from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) provides information onthe Federal Government’s role in military shipbuilding and naval systems. NAVSEA includessubordinate commands which include Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair(SUPSHIP) which has a role similar to ABS as it relates to the design and construction ofmilitary ships. So, the role and activities at SUPSHIP is covered in this guest lecture. Further,the role of the Navy research and technology development laboratories is discussed as well as theactivities at the NAVSEA Headquarters office at the Washington D. C. Navy Yard. Somerecruiting information is also provided to allow students to learn what it is like
