AVT Simulation Training

UCF Division of Continuing Education in partnership with AVT Simulation.

Be a part of our groundbreaking course of instruction as we debut our one-of-a-kind training program. Beginning with fundamental simulation development theories and progressing through hands-on technologies and approaches, this innovative curriculum is designed by industry experts with instructing experience as well as years of experience building simulators and simulator components.

Our Vision: Provide the Modeling and Simulation industry well educated and highly skilled employees.

This dynamic series of four day courses provides a sequenced learning experience beginning with the introduction to the fundamentals of simulation and training and segues into multi-faceted complex concepts. Concepts such as visual systems design, human perceptions, the simulation environment, control loading and motion bases are explored. Courses delve into visual database and modeling, component integration, installation, verification and validation.


Courses

 

AVT 101: Simulation Overview

(AVT 101 is the prerequisite course to all 200-level courses.)
This course examines the major components of a simulator from a top level. It describes how the components fit together to develop an immersive training solution. The course targets those that are new to simulator design and development or to those that fully understand some simulator components, but not necessarily all components or how they all fit together. It covers general principles of simulation, common visual solutions to simulation, human-machine interfaces, and many aspects of simulation support such as concurrency, maintenance, and security.

AVT 202: Visual Simulation

This course is broken into two main categories: Visual System Design and the Synthetic Environment. Visual System Design includes Image Generation (IGs), image projection (projector types), display systems (screens and monitors), image alignment, user point of views, and many more visual system concepts. The Synthetic Environment includes Computer-Generated Forces (CGF) and semi-automated forces (SAF), instructor operating station (IOS) and After-Action Review (AAR) solutions as well as simulation control, scenarios, decision engines, and other ways of controlling what the trainee sees during the simulation.
