Project Introduction

As part of its strategy to innovate and improve the quality of hands-on training, the University of Transport and Communications (T&N) selected ETEK as its trusted partner to supply a comprehensive set of specialized training equipment, aimed at supporting teaching and research in transportation engineering, structural engineering, and automation control.

The project goes beyond equipping the university with modern devices. It represents a long-term vision to establish specialized laboratories that simulate real-world environments—spaces where students can study, experiment, and master the latest technologies applied in modern transportation infrastructure.

Training Equipment Solutions Provided

ETEK delivered an integrated training equipment system designed to serve multiple disciplines, with a strong focus on practical, application-oriented learning in the field of transportation engineering:

• A Robot-Vision System designed for steel structure assembly and material quality inspection, combining industrial robotics with machine vision. This system supports automation training in transportation construction.

• A Bridge and Road Monitoring System, allowing students to gain hands-on experience with field-based measurement, monitoring, and structural assessment techniques.

• A Control and Supervision System for a Material Mixing Plant, simulating the operations of modern mixing stations, enabling students to learn programming and process control in material production.

• A Pneumatics and Hydraulics Training Kit, tailored for structural engineering experiments, helping students understand core principles and applications of actuation systems in construction.

• An Inverter Module for training in industrial electricity, motor control, and renewable energy systems.
   

Outcomes and Significance

The deployment of this advanced training system significantly enhances the university’s capabilities in specialized technical training—particularly in high-application fields such as transportation infrastructure, automation, and industrial robotics. Students benefit from practicing directly on equipment that mirrors real-world operations, narrowing the gap between theoretical knowledge and industry expectations.

The project also elevates the university’s reputation in engineering education by aligning with international standards for training transportation engineers. It supports research activities, technology transfer, and university–industry collaboration. The establishment of modern application laboratories lays a strong foundation for developing curricula that integrate digital technology, simulation, and smart measurement systems.

Conclusion

This collaboration between ETEK and the University of Transport and Communications (T&N) marks a strategic step toward enhancing the quality of technical training in the transportation sector. The integration of real-world simulation equipment—from robotics and machine vision to control and monitoring systems—reflects the university’s commitment to producing engineers who are skilled, application-oriented, and ready to adapt to emerging technologies.
