Digital Methods of Academic and Professional Training In Industrial Engineering

Abstract: We present the current results of our project which deals with virtual learning in industrial engineering. The aim of this project is to develop learning scenarios which ensure better teaching of theory and practical application through use of virtual reality. Therefore, the new methods which are to be learned are immediately applied in practice. Especially in educational fields (e.g. universities) there is often no “real“ work system. For this reason we aim to use virtual reality technologies to close this “gap“ to facilitate the transfer of methods and knowledge in operational practice.
