Students receive real-time feedback on installation techniques, component positioning, and overall system integrity.

Flooring Installation

The Flooring Installation Simulation teaches students how to install various types of flooring materials, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpeting. Virtual scenarios guide students through the process, from measuring and cutting materials to laying and securing floorboards or tiles. Tutorials cover preparing subfloors, aligning seams, and ensuring smooth, even surfaces for the final installation. Real-time feedback is provided on precision cutting, material placement, and proper finishing techniques to ensure a high-quality flooring installation.

Power Systems and Distribution Networks

The Power Systems and Distribution Networks module immerses students in virtual environments where they explore the design, operation, and analysis of electrical power grids. Through simulations and interactive tutorials, students learn to manage generators, transformers, transmission lines, and load centers, while optimizing system performance, detecting faults, and ensuring efficient energy distribution.

Mechatronics and Robotics

Explore the integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer systems in the design and operation of mechatronics and robotics.

Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines

Train students in analyzing the motion and dynamics of mechanical systems and linkages using immersive XR simulations. Students will interact with virtual models of mechanisms such as gears, cams, pulleys, and crankshafts to observe and study their movement. The simulation offers interactive lessons on calculating velocities, accelerations, forces, and torques within mechanical linkages, with real-time feedback. The system will help students understand how to evaluate and optimize the efficiency of machines, force transmission, and performance.

Chiller System Installation and Maintenance

The Chiller System Installation and Maintenance Simulation trains students on the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of chiller systems used in commercial buildings for large-scale cooling applications. Students will practice virtually installing air-cooled and water-cooled chiller systems, connecting them to cooling towers and air handlers. Maintenance tasks include cleaning chiller tubes, monitoring refrigerant levels, and inspecting compressors. Troubleshooting scenarios will focus on issues like reduced cooling capacity, refrigerant leaks, and mechanical failures.
