Construction of Cognitive Training and Teaching Center for Undergraduates Majoring in Energy and Power Engineering

The Experimental Center of the School of Energy and Power Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology has introduced virtual reality (VR) technology and advanced cognitive training teaching equipment to build a cognitive training base for the cultivation of innovative undergraduates of energy and power engineering. The base is divided into VR classroom, cognitive equipment display area, cognitive model display area and disassembly training area. The base combines virtual teaching, cognitive teaching and practical training teaching, utilizing the advantages of VR technology to stimulate learning interest, expand students’ vision, and solve the problems of inadequate teaching content and single teaching means in traditional cognitive training base. The base has been built and put into use, which has gained some experience for the construction of cognitive training teaching laboratory.
