Research and application of the virtual simulation system teaching method in NC machining course

Abstract

Virtual simulation technology has become one of the most popular technologies in the field of engineering education after the multimedia information technology in recent years. This paper, based on the comprehensive integrated simulation and verification module of UG NX software, describes and discusses a novel virtual simulation system teaching (VSST) for numerically controlled machining to support the student engineering training to achieve the theoretical knowledge and practical techniques in numerically controlled machining. The findings of a study designed to evaluate the impact of VSST for the development of numerically controlled machining course are presented here. In addition, analysis of the follow-up surveys indicates that the VSST method enables to provide the concrete experience of interaction between the students and the simulation environment and to further stimulate students' interest in learning, so that the students who used VSST achieve significantly higher results than their co-workers. © 2018 World Scientific Publishing Company.
