Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)

This XR simulation teaches students about the comprehensive processes involved in managing a product's lifecycle, from initial conception through design, development, production, and eventual retirement. Virtual tools allow students to coordinate product design, development, production, and sustainability, integrating CAD, CAM, and data management into the development cycle. Students will interact with real-world scenarios to optimize project timelines, resource allocation, and overall product lifecycle efficiency. Feedback is provided on their decisions related to production costs, environmental impact, and product sustainability.

Geospatial Analysis and Remote Sensing

Explore the power of remote sensing technology and its application in civil engineering projects. Analyze satellite imagery and aerial photographs to map terrain, plan land use, and track urban development. Use geospatial data tools to detect changes in natural resources, land features, and environmental conditions. Receive feedback on data accuracy, interpretation, and the practical integration of this information into infrastructure planning.

Commercial and Industrial Electrical Systems

Explore the differences between residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems with a focus on larger-scale installations. Students will engage in virtual simulations of 3-phase power systems, industrial equipment wiring, and distribution panels. Through hands-on practice, students will connect high-voltage systems, install transformers, and manage large-scale wiring projects while receiving real-time feedback on power distribution, load balancing, and voltage regulation.

Motor Control Circuits Simulation

Explore the design and troubleshooting of motor control circuits used in industrial automation. In this simulation, students will virtually install and wire motor starters, relays, and control circuits for electric motors. They will program motor control systems, utilizing start/stop buttons, overload protection, and variable speed drives. The simulation offers real-time feedback on system performance, motor control accuracy, and troubleshooting techniques, enhanced with XR for an immersive learning experience.

Servo Motor and Stepper Motor Control
