Biochemical Pathways and Metabolic Engineering

Servo Motor and Stepper Motor Control

Explore the use and control of servo motors and stepper motors in precision control applications. Through virtual simulations, students can set up and fine-tune motor control circuits, adjusting parameters such as speed, torque, and position. Real-time feedback on control accuracy, performance optimization, and motor troubleshooting enhances understanding and hands-on learning.

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.

Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer

Provide hands-on experience in understanding thermodynamic processes and heat transfer mechanisms through immersive XR simulations. Virtual labs enable students to simulate processes like conduction, convection, and radiation across various materials and environments. Interactive scenarios allow exploration of thermodynamic cycles, such as the Rankine, Brayton, and Carnot cycles, offering a comprehensive understanding of energy systems. Real-time feedback helps students analyze temperature distribution, energy efficiency, and system optimization, fostering practical insights into thermodynamics and heat transfer in engineering applications.

Airflow and Duct Design Simulation

The Airflow and Duct Design Simulation trains students in calculating airflow requirements and designing ducts to ensure HVAC systems operate efficiently. The simulation features virtual tools for calculating airflow based on building dimensions and heating/cooling loads. Students engage in interactive duct design exercises, where they size ducts, select materials, and place vents for optimal airflow. Real-time feedback is provided on pressure loss, air distribution efficiency, and adherence to industry standards.
