Biochemical Pathways and Metabolic Engineering

Aircraft Design and Structural Analysis

Teach students the principles of aircraft design, focusing on aerodynamics, weight distribution, and structural integrity. Explore virtual environments where students can design and analyze key aircraft components such as wings, fuselage, tail, and landing gear. Use interactive tools to perform stress and strain analysis, helping students understand load distribution, material strength, and potential failure points. Receive feedback on design optimization, weight reduction, and ensuring structural stability under various flight conditions.

Geotechnical Engineering and Soil Mechanics

This XR simulation provides students with hands-on training in soil analysis, foundation design, and geotechnical investigation techniques. Virtual soil testing labs allow students to perform essential tests such as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetration Test (CPT), and triaxial shear tests. The simulation includes interactive scenarios for designing shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls, and methods for slope stabilization. Students receive feedback on soil classification, bearing capacity, settlement predictions, and foundation stability to ensure they understand the fundamental principles of geotechnical engineering.

Underwater Welding Basics Simulation

The Underwater Welding Basics Simulation introduces students to the unique challenges faced by underwater welders in industries like marine, oil, and gas. This simulation allows students to virtually practice underwater welding, including the use of specialized equipment and managing visibility and pressure conditions. It also covers safety protocols, dive techniques, and the key differences between wet and dry welding. Students receive real-time feedback on managing electrical current, welding speed, and ensuring the quality of welds in an underwater environment.

Material Science and Mechanical Properties Analysis

Introduce students to material properties, testing methods, and their applications in mechanical engineering through XR simulations. Students will engage in virtual material testing labs where they perform various tests such as tensile tests, hardness tests, impact tests, and fatigue analysis. The simulation includes interactive lessons on material properties like strength, ductility, toughness, and elasticity. Real-time feedback will help students understand material selection, suitability for specific applications, and how to optimize design for enhanced performance.

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) Control

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) Control focuses on minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in vehicles to enhance driving comfort. Students will engage in virtual environments to analyze sources of noise and vibration in engine, transmission, and exhaust systems. The course includes interactive lessons on damping techniques, soundproofing materials, and vibration isolation, with feedback on NVH reduction, cabin comfort, and acoustics.
