Students engage in virtual rocket labs where they design and analyze rocket engines, simulate propellant flow, and study thrust and trajectory. Interactive scenarios allow students to gain a deeper understanding of staging, ignition sequences, and flight stability during launch, with feedback provided on propulsion efficiency, fuel consumption, and optimization of launch trajectories.

Pipe Installation and Layout Simulation

Learn how to properly install and layout plumbing pipes for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. This simulation allows students to virtually select and install different types of pipes, such as PVC, copper, and PEX, in walls, floors, and underground settings. Students will practice measuring, cutting, and connecting pipes using various fittings and couplings. Real-time feedback will be provided on pipe alignment, water flow, and adherence to plumbing codes.

Drill Press Operation and Hole Machining

Train students in the safe and efficient operation of a drill press, including drilling, reaming, and tapping operations. Through XR simulations, students will practice drilling holes to precise specifications, adjusting speeds and selecting the right drill bits for different materials. The simulation will allow hands-on experience in workpiece alignment, tool selection, and achieving accurate hole dimensions. Real-time feedback will guide students on maintaining optimal drilling performance, improving hole quality, and mastering chip removal techniques.

Conduit Bending and Installation

Master the skills of bending and installing electrical conduit to protect wiring in various settings. Through virtual simulations, students will practice bending rigid and flexible conduit using hand or mechanical benders, measuring, cutting, and installing conduit in walls, ceilings, or underground. Real-time feedback will be provided on the layout, accuracy of bends, and compliance with electrical codes.

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.
