Immersive Learning in MEM: Embracing Industry 4.0 through Augmented Reality Education​

To improve the Management and Engineering for Manufacturing (MEM) curriculum and the development of the lab space regarding Industry 4.0 technologies (I4.0), the University of Connecticut, with the support of the Navy STEM program, will implement an Augmented Reality (AR) and Computer numerical control (CNC) to create an educational environment for the MEM Innovation Lab. To create the educational environment this will involve the purchasing, programming, and educational use of Microsoft HoloLens for activities such as real-time augmented-reality process instructions. The HoloLens will then be linked to the CNC machine that is embedded with sensors to give real-time feedback regarding axis speed and temperature to display on the HoloLens. The team will learn the required skills to code relevant programs for using the HoloLens, CNC machine, and Arduino as desired for this project. The team may also work in tandem with the ME and OPIM departments for support regarding this aspect of the project.
