BERLIN — From old school to new tools, White Mountains Community College is changing the way students in the college’s industrial mechanics program are learning the profession. Using COVID-19 funds, WMCC was able to purchase a Hololens 2 mixed reality device and the FIXTURLASER ECO laser alignment system , bringing new augmented reality tools to its classrooms and labs. These purchases enable the college to train students within COVID-19 safety protocols, while also introducing more futuristic learning components into the curriculum, including through enhanced experiential learning.
“Teaching people hands-on trades-related skills online has its challenges but with these new technologies, we are able to make detailed demonstrations with our students virtually in ways we never have before,” said Kyle Aubut, associate professor of industrial mechanics.
