Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Systems

The Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Systems Simulation teaches students how to design, install, and maintain systems that improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation. Virtual tools are provided for installing ventilation systems, such as air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). Students engage in interactive exercises where they measure and control indoor humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and particulate matter. Real-time feedback is offered on ventilation efficiency, IAQ improvement, and system maintenance.

Microcontroller and Embedded Systems Programming

The Microcontroller and Embedded Systems module provides virtual environments (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi) where students can design, simulate, and test embedded systems. Through interactive exercises, students learn to interface sensors, actuators, and communication modules, while writing and debugging code to control devices effectively.

HVAC Load Calculation and System Sizing

The HVAC Load Calculation and System Sizing Simulation teaches students how to calculate heating and cooling loads and properly size HVAC systems for different buildings. Virtual tools are provided for load calculation, factoring in building insulation, square footage, number of occupants, and climate conditions. Students then engage in interactive scenarios to select the appropriate HVAC equipment based on the calculated loads. Real-time feedback is provided on the accuracy of system sizing, energy efficiency, and overall occupant comfort.

Precision Measurement and Inspection

Explore the art of precision measurement and inspection using advanced tools such as micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, and gauges. This simulation allows users to virtually measure machined parts, ensuring that they meet strict dimensional tolerances. Learn how to read measurement instruments accurately, interpret technical drawings, and identify any deviations that could affect the quality of the part. With real-time feedback on measurement precision and inspection accuracy, users will gain the skills needed for quality control in manufacturing and machining processes.

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.

Gas Furnace Installation and Repair

The Gas Furnace Installation and Repair Simulation teaches students to install and repair gas furnaces, with a focus on proper venting and safety protocols for working with natural gas. Virtual scenarios guide students through connecting gas lines, ductwork, and venting systems for gas furnaces. Interactive exercises help students practice lighting pilot lights, adjusting gas valves, and monitoring flame sensors. The simulation provides feedback on safety practices, combustion efficiency, and troubleshooting issues like gas leaks, ignition failures, or cracked heat exchangers.

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.
