innovative power system laboratory has been developed in our department ofengineering technology to fill this need. The UNItrain-I® Training Platform is the newstandard for State-of-the-Art instruction and experimentation. Captivating Computer AidedInstruction (CAI) provides a basic overview of theory under study, complementing the eLearningCourseware, and includes animated instructions on experimental procedures, incorporatesUNItrain-I Courseware into Learning Management System or use LabSOFT to edit, manage, anddeliver content & control student access. The system includes a diverse collection ofexperimental and theoretical courses. Students can choose between a wide range of turnkeyexperiment cards with patching cords, or breadboard packages

underground tank. The second water pump is used to transport water from theunderground tank to the house tap. The simulation contains interactive command buttons thatengage the student in performing actions and then witnessing the change of colors through thelines. (The single line represents electrical wire, and the parallel lines represent pipes.) The kindof course content was developed to present information in multiple modes, an effective approachutilized throughout the platform15. Some of the features utilized to provide variety in the formatof the content were images, GIFs, animations, videos, interactive simulations, and multiple-choice questions to check understanding.

Itwas a 40-hour, lecture-based, interdisciplinary course that covered material processing, processimprovement and process optimization. The course was taught in English and the Americanengineering teaching style was adopted.Approach to build the American classroom environmentIn the US, the instructor usually uses project-based learning to motivate the students’ interests 8.The class is more flexibly-structured and the instructor is

station models with 2D/3Dmodel animations and learned basic Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS)modelling skills. Students re-created the Cultural Centre Busway Station located in Brisbane, Australia as avirtual BRT station simulation model. The students presented their preliminary study results at the 2015Australian Transport Research Forum (ATRF), under the title of “An agent-based simulation model to evaluatea real-time passenger information system in a Bus Rapid Transit station”. The Station Simulation team won therunner-up for the David Willis Best Poster award. From an international engagement perspective, the “The TOMMbot” project was a joint researchinvestigation by the School of Civil Engineering at

teaching and scientific researchprojects, encouraging the use of new technologies and promoting the business –university relationship, in order to encourage a Latin-American site for knowledgeThe initial conditions to include Higher Educational Institutions in this project regardthree different types: educational, technical and legal matters. For the first one, it isdemanded the publication of teaching materials orderly structured with at least 10courses. Within these materials, it can be included all kind of resources: presentations,books, videos, simulations programs, etc. always with a common organization andappearances. Regarding technical demands a globally and approachable site via Internetwith the right quality must be maintained. Although
