X-ray Equipment Operation Simulation

Immerse students in the operation of radiographic equipment, teaching them how to position machines, adjust settings, and capture accurate X-ray images using XR simulations.

Control System Design and Tuning

Explore the design, simulation, and tuning of control systems for mechanical and electrical applications. Through interactive simulations, students will design feedback control systems using PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers to regulate variables such as speed, temperature, or position. Real-time feedback will help students evaluate control system stability, response times, and error minimization for optimal system performance.

Drainage, Waste, and Vent (DWV) System Installation

Familiarize with Drainage, Waste, and Vent (DWV) systems essential for removing wastewater and preventing sewer gases from entering buildings. In this simulation, the virtual installation of drainage pipes, waste stacks, and vent pipes in various building types is explored. Proper pipe sloping for efficient drainage and venting is practiced, with real-time feedback on system functionality, code compliance, and troubleshooting clogs or vent issues. XR technology enhances the experience, offering immersive and interactive learning.

Thermal Stress Management and Warping Prevention Simulation

The Thermal Stress Management and Warping Prevention Simulation teaches students how to manage thermal stress and prevent material warping during the welding process. It includes virtual scenarios where temperature changes and thermal expansion are monitored while welding. Students engage in exercises to adjust their welding methods, preheat/postheat treatment, or apply clamping techniques to minimize warping. Feedback is given on thermal stress, material distortion, and the effectiveness of preventive measures to ensure high-quality welds.

Pipe Hydrant Maintenance
