Electrical Circuits and Systems Simulation

Electrical Circuits and Systems Simulation provides students with the knowledge and skills to design, analyze, and troubleshoot electrical circuits, with a focus on mechatronic applications. Through interactive simulations of DC and AC circuits, students will work with components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes. Using virtual oscilloscope and multimeter tools, students will measure voltage, current, and resistance, while receiving real-time feedback on circuit functionality, power ratings, and potential faults.

Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Systems

The Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Systems Simulation teaches students how to design, install, and maintain systems that improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation. Virtual tools are provided for installing ventilation systems, such as air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). Students engage in interactive exercises where they measure and control indoor humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and particulate matter. Real-time feedback is offered on ventilation efficiency, IAQ improvement, and system maintenance.

Fixture Design and Workholding Techniques

Explore XR-based simulations for designing and using fixtures, jigs, and workholding devices for machining complex parts. Students will engage in virtual fixture design, learning to create custom fixtures to hold irregularly shaped workpieces securely. The interactive lessons cover clamping techniques, workpiece alignment, and ensuring rigidity during cutting operations. Real-time feedback helps students assess the effectiveness of their fixture designs, machining stability, and part accuracy, all while improving their ability to handle complex machining tasks.

Microcontroller and Embedded Systems Programming

The Microcontroller and Embedded Systems module provides virtual environments (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi) where students can design, simulate, and test embedded systems. Through interactive exercises, students learn to interface sensors, actuators, and communication modules, while writing and debugging code to control devices effectively.

Transformer Installation and Testing

Gain hands-on experience in installing and testing electrical transformers for power distribution. In this simulation, students will virtually install step-up and step-down transformers in industrial and commercial settings. They will practice testing transformer windings, polarity, and voltage using virtual testing equipment. Real-time feedback will be provided on transformer selection, installation safety, and testing accuracy.

Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer in Aerospace Systems

Explore the principles of thermal management in aerospace systems, focusing on efficient heat dissipation and insulation techniques for engines, fuselages, and spacecraft thermal control systems. Through virtual simulations, students will study the heat transfer processes including conduction, convection, and radiation, and apply them to real-world aerospace environments. Engage in interactive lessons to optimize thermal performance and ensure energy efficiency while preventing component overheating.

LMS Integration

imaginX seamlessly integrates with leading LMS (Learning Management Systems), enabling educators to track student performance and allowing students to maintain their work records. It is compatible with popular platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, Schoology, Sakai, Brightspace/D2L, and can also be used independently of an LMS.
