The professional practice and student experimentation have undergone changes in the mode of the instruction processes, which has had an impact not only on the adaptation of business processes but also in the reorientation of academic dynamics around the use of simulators, due to the development of new learning technologies and their high influence in educational environments. Therefore, higher education institutions are responsible for designing complementary learning situations to the future professionals’ training of the disciplinary area through qualified practices. That is why, through this research and the use of mixed methods, the perception of students and teachers of the support that new technologies have been providing just as a teaching resource for the transfer of knowledge, boosting the experimental classroom and its implementation in the professional practice; Simulators and virtual reality have allowed the improvement of science as an active part of academic processes and business development. The results highlight the importance of continuing to work on the implementation and familiarization with these tools.
