Disaster Preparedness and Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Management

Immerse students in disaster preparedness and mass casualty incident (MCI) management through XR simulations. Students will explore virtual disaster scenarios, including natural disasters, chemical spills, and terrorist attacks, while practicing triage, resource allocation, and coordination with emergency services.

Trim Work and Finish Carpentry

The Trim Work and Finish Carpentry Simulation trains students in advanced woodworking techniques such as installing trim, baseboards, crown molding, and other intricate details commonly used in carpentry finishing. Virtual scenarios allow students to practice cutting, fitting, and installing trim and moldings around windows, doors, and walls. The simulation includes tutorials on how to miter corners, join pieces, and securely attach trim using nails or adhesives.

Signal Processing and Filtering Techniques

The Signal Processing and Filtering Techniques module provides virtual tools and interactive exercises to teach students how to process and analyze electrical signals using both digital and analog filtering methods. Through hands-on simulations, students explore signal conditioning, transformation, and noise reduction techniques.

Framing and Structural Carpentry

The Framing and Structural Carpentry Simulation trains students in the framing techniques used for constructing walls, floors, roofs, and ceilings in residential and commercial buildings. Virtual scenarios guide students through the process of measuring, cutting, and assembling studs, joists, and rafters. Interactive tutorials cover the creation of window and door openings, the installation of headers, and ensuring structural stability. Students receive real-time feedback on measurement accuracy, alignment, and adherence to building codes.

Pediatric Nursing Care Simulation

The Pediatric Nursing Care Simulation module provides nursing students with virtual experiences to develop essential pediatric care skills. Students practice assessing health conditions, administering medications, and delivering age-appropriate care while interacting with children and collaborating with parents. The module also includes scenarios to handle pediatric emergencies and communication challenges.
