Belarusian National Technical University
Innovation Competence Center of BELAZ is a unique project which presents the best technological solutions in mechanical engineering, digital and information technologies in the mining industry. The centre is designed to rise educational and scientific-practical training of students to a new level and upgrading qualifications on the basis of the Centre and the Mining University of specialists and managers of enterprises that operate BELAZ machinery to a new level. The center also conducts scientific research in priority areas of development in the mining industry. A special feature of the Centre is the use of virtual reality technology. With the help of VR-equipment, it is possible to simulate emergency situations, which are often dangerous or too expensive to reproduce in real life. With the help of such technologies students can study in detail not only the principle of operation of mining equipment, but also see real devices without sectional models or mock-ups.
