• Resumen

  • In the automation field, the coursework assignments are basically automation tasks that follow real systems. The reason why students need to work under this practical approach is because there is a constant need for industry-focused qualifications for new entrants to the job market. A practical orientation towards industry needs is required. However, many universities cannot afford the appropriate laboratory equipment to develop the required practical skills. A possible solution is to use computer emulations to support hands-on education and training. At the ITESM Tele-Engineering laboratory, emulated models have been developed and used for the last three years.
