Development of Virtual Simulation Experiment Driven by Project Data for Online Teaching and Impacts on Motivation and Innovation under 2019-nConV

Developing progress of virtual simulation experiment (VSE) driven by project data for the course of Comprehensive Practice of Electric Power System (CPEPS) of Electrical Engineering and the impacts of the experiment on motivation and innovation of students at Xi’an University of Technology are described. The participants were not just teachers, but also students and engineers in companies. The algorithms, data and project cases came from research accumulated by teachers and real engineering cases supplied by companies. Comparing the online teaching efficiency between CPEPS with online experiment and other courses without any experiment during 2019-nConV, it indicted that online lectures with VSE can decrease challenges for students and teachers, and can stimulate students’ study interests and motivation. Meanwhile, adopted encouraging and inductive teaching method, undergraduates’ self-learning abilities and capacity of innovation were improved.
