Pneumatics and Hydraulics Simulation

Pneumatics and Hydraulics Simulation trains students in the operation and design of pneumatic and hydraulic systems, which are essential in many mechatronic applications. Through virtual simulations, students can design and control pneumatic and hydraulic circuits using components like valves, cylinders, pumps, and actuators. They will also control pressures and flow rates to perform tasks such as lifting, pressing, and clamping. Real-time feedback on system efficiency, fluid dynamics, and troubleshooting leaks or pressure issues enhances learning and system optimization.

Automotive Electronics and Control Systems

Delve into the realm of advanced automotive electronics, focusing on the integration of sensors, actuators, and electronic control units (ECUs). This XR-enabled module combines immersive environments with interactive tools to provide hands-on experience in designing and optimizing vehicle electronic systems.

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.

Machining Materials and Tool Selection

Provide hands-on training in selecting and machining various materials, including steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics. Through virtual XR simulations, students will match materials with the correct cutting tools based on hardness, toughness, and machinability. They will practice adjusting cutting parameters, like speed, feed rates, and depth of cut, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of tools in real-time machining scenarios. This immersive experience will help students understand material behavior and improve machining efficiency in both manual and CNC operations.

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.

Renewable Energy Systems (Solar, Wind, and Battery Storage)

The Electromagnetics and Wave Propagation module offers virtual simulations of renewable energy systems, including solar power, wind turbines, and battery storage.
