Biochemical Pathways and Metabolic Engineering

Blueprint Reading and Layout

The Blueprint Reading and Layout Simulation teaches students how to read and interpret construction blueprints and translate them into physical layouts on-site. Virtual blueprints are provided, where students identify dimensions, layouts, and construction details. Interactive scenarios guide students in marking and laying out floor plans, walls, and structural components based on blueprint specifications. Real-time feedback is given on layout accuracy, alignment, and proper interpretation of building plans.

Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Simulation

Learn electrical safety protocols, focusing on Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures to prevent accidental energizing of equipment during maintenance or repairs. Through virtual simulations, students will practice securing electrical circuits using LOTO procedures and identify potential hazards such as electrocution, arc flash, and fire. Real-time feedback will be provided on safety practices, risk assessment, and adherence to OSHA regulations.

Mechanics of Solids (Stress and Strain Analysis)

This XR simulation trains students to analyze stress and strain in solid objects subjected to various loading conditions. Virtual scenarios allow students to test mechanical components under tensile, compressive, shear, and torsional loads. Interactive lessons focus on calculating stress concentration factors, deflections, and material deformation, providing essential insights into the behavior of materials under stress. Students receive feedback on structural integrity, safety factors, and failure analysis to ensure optimal design and material selection.

Water Heater Installation and Maintenance

Explore the installation and maintenance of water heaters, including gas, electric, and tankless systems. This simulation allows for virtual installation of various water heaters, connecting supply and drainage lines, pressure relief valves, and gas lines (when applicable). It also provides practice in maintaining water heaters by flushing tanks, replacing heating elements, and adjusting thermostats. Real-time feedback is provided on system efficiency, safety, and troubleshooting issues like leaks or temperature fluctuations.

Soldering and Pipe Joining Simulation

Learn how to properly join pipes using techniques like soldering, brazing, and push-to-connect fittings. This simulation provides virtual practice in soldering copper pipes, selecting appropriate flux and heat sources. It also covers other joining techniques such as compression fittings, solvent welding for PVC, and press fittings for PEX. Feedback is given on joint strength, leakage prevention, and adherence to safety standards.

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.
