Abstract

This experience describes the design of virtual laboratories for online teaching in the field of industrial automation within the Master's program in Industrial Engineering at the University of A Coruña. The project engaged both national and international students in creating a virtual package sorting conveyor based on weight using Factory I/O and Unity Pro-XLS. The initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in educational contexts. A comparative assessment of student performance between traditional practical exercises and virtual labs yielded highly favourable results.
