Biochemical Pathways and Metabolic Engineering

Thermostat Installation and Calibration

The Thermostat Installation and Calibration Simulation trains users on installing and calibrating HVAC thermostats, including both programmable and smart thermostats. The simulation includes virtual scenarios for installing thermostats, connecting wiring, setting temperature schedules, and configuring Wi-Fi-enabled devices. Calibration exercises ensure thermostats accurately control HVAC systems. Feedback is provided on wiring accuracy, thermostat settings, and energy efficiency improvements.

Energy Audits and Efficiency Simulations

Learn how to conduct energy audits and recommend energy-efficient upgrades for electrical systems. In this simulation, students will perform virtual energy audits for homes or businesses, analyzing energy consumption from lighting, HVAC, and appliances. They will then recommend electrical system upgrades, such as LED lighting or energy-efficient appliances. Real-time feedback will be provided on cost savings, energy usage reduction, and the environmental impact of their recommendations.

Basic Tool Usage and Safety

The Basic Tool Usage and Safety Simulation teaches students how to safely and efficiently use basic carpentry tools, including both hand tools and power tools. Virtual tutorials guide students through the correct use of hand tools like hammers, saws, measuring tapes, levels, and chisels. The simulation also covers the operation of power tools such as circular saws, miter saws, drills, and nail guns. Safety scenarios help students understand proper handling, tool maintenance, and the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE). Real-time feedback focuses on tool handling, accuracy, and safety adherence.

Neural Engineering and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)

Immerse students in the design and testing of neural interfaces that connect the brain to external devices, such as prosthetic limbs and communication aids. Through advanced XR simulations, students will develop and refine brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), analyze EEG signals, and create algorithms for neural control.

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.
