MIET Virtual Prototyping Center

History

2022: Creating a center

At the end of November 2022, the Center for Virtual Prototyping (CVD) was opened at the MIET National Research University. The university believes that this project will help bring the training of future engineers to a qualitatively new level, as well as ensure the strategic sovereignty of Russia.

This confidence is explained by the fact that VR technologies and virtual prototyping are widely used in various industries, including nuclear power, the oil and gas industry, automotive and shipbuilding, aerospace, medicine and education.

A center for the design of virtual worlds was created in Russia

DPC specialists will develop virtual high-tech VR laboratories, simulators for working out technological processes, cyber-physical and 3D models of complex and expensive equipment from domestic and foreign manufacturers. According to Tatyana Sokolova, Head of the Department of Engineering Graphics and Design at NIU MIET, such projects provide realistic visualization and immersion in the artificial world with the ability to act in it in real time using special sensor devices.

The university also notes that students will receive virtual access to expensive unique equipment, and thanks to the remote format, the training of highly qualified specialists will be possible in different regions and countries. At the same time, the CPC will reduce the cost of purchasing and operating expensive equipment intended for training, plus it will attract specialists and teachers of large scientific and educational centers to train students.

By this day, the DPC has already implemented a pilot project "Interactive VR Laboratory" Microelectronic Technology MEMS, "which simulates the full cycle of production of products of microelectromechanical systems. Now experts are working on the creation of VR-laboratories "Electrotechnics" and "Microelectronics," as well as a VR-simulator of the operation of electronic sensor systems of the car, a digital anatomical atlas "Human Body," teaching VR-applications on color science and coloristics and several VR-laboratories for schoolchildren^[1]
