Description
Summary:This paper presents a new virtual environment aimed to the realization of dimensional metrology practices, in the framework of the Degree in Mechanical Engineering of Technical University of Madrid. The development of this project allows the implementation of an interactive teaching model, focused on the student, which combines master classes and virtual applications, in an environment known as DE–learning (driven e-learning). This teaching tool directs and helps students on an individual way in the dynamic and interactive practice development. In particular, this module simulates the functioning, calibration and measurements using a horizontal coordinate measuring machine (HCMM). The program interface has been developed trying to create an easy-to-use environment for the students, in order to be a first contact with the HCMM and its possible metrological applications.
