Biochemical Pathways and Metabolic Engineering

Microbiology and Fermentation Processes

Equip students with essential microbiological techniques and the core principles of fermentation in bioprocessing, enhanced by immersive XR experiences. Focus on isolating, culturing, and identifying microbes, while exploring fermentation applications in industries like pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and enzymes through interactive virtual and augmented reality simulations.

3D CAD Modeling and Design

The 3D CAD Modeling and Design module introduces students to virtual design environments where they can create and manipulate 3D models. Through interactive simulations and tutorials, students learn essential CAD tools and techniques to design parts, build assemblies, and prototype models while ensuring design accuracy, manufacturability, and adherence to engineering standards.

Drill Press Operation and Hole Machining

Train students in the safe and efficient operation of a drill press, including drilling, reaming, and tapping operations. Through XR simulations, students will practice drilling holes to precise specifications, adjusting speeds and selecting the right drill bits for different materials. The simulation will allow hands-on experience in workpiece alignment, tool selection, and achieving accurate hole dimensions. Real-time feedback will guide students on maintaining optimal drilling performance, improving hole quality, and mastering chip removal techniques.

Pneumatics and Hydraulics Simulation

Pneumatics and Hydraulics Simulation trains students in the operation and design of pneumatic and hydraulic systems, which are essential in many mechatronic applications. Through virtual simulations, students can design and control pneumatic and hydraulic circuits using components like valves, cylinders, pumps, and actuators. They will also control pressures and flow rates to perform tasks such as lifting, pressing, and clamping. Real-time feedback on system efficiency, fluid dynamics, and troubleshooting leaks or pressure issues enhances learning and system optimization.

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.
