Abstract: This paper introduces theoretical, methodological, and systemics background of a novel project to introduce system level, knowledge intensive, autonomous, contextually active object models in university courses and research projects. This project applies world level modeling platform as classroom and virtual laboratory environment in the cloud. Thematically configured model system is in the center of course program and student research project in a fully virtual environment. Change for model system is motivated and enforced by change of industry towards system based autonomous products and facilitated by industrially proven and knowledge and research-intensive modeling platforms which are ac- cessed in cloud. Beyond introduction of leading computer methodology, technology and tools in university processes, purposes of the project include accommodating the recent trend to integrate theory and practice in the same model system. The work for the project is based on two decades widely published research in model system-based teaching and student learning. To provide world level professional modeling environment, the laboratory joined to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for Academia on the Cloud program of Dassault Systemes. The project includes analyses to reveal possibilities to apply results at areas other than engineering. Main issues in this paper are impact of the relevant development in industry on university processes, purpose, preliminaries and background of the work, model centered course and PhD research, and implementation in modeling platform.
