Fluid Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Teach students the principles of fluid dynamics through immersive XR simulations and hands-on practice with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Virtual scenarios allow students to simulate fluid flow in pipes, pumps, valves, and aerodynamic surfaces, offering a deep dive into the behavior of fluids in different environments. Students will use interactive tools to set up boundary conditions, generate meshes, and analyze flow patterns using CFD software. Real-time feedback focuses on improving flow efficiency, managing pressure drop, understanding turbulence, and optimizing design solutions.

HVAC Load Calculation and System Sizing

The HVAC Load Calculation and System Sizing Simulation teaches students how to calculate heating and cooling loads and properly size HVAC systems for different buildings. Virtual tools are provided for load calculation, factoring in building insulation, square footage, number of occupants, and climate conditions. Students then engage in interactive scenarios to select the appropriate HVAC equipment based on the calculated loads. Real-time feedback is provided on the accuracy of system sizing, energy efficiency, and overall occupant comfort.

Radiographic Image Interpretation

Guide students in interpreting X-ray images to identify abnormalities, fractures, and conditions using XR-based tools for detailed analysis.

Cabinetry and Shelving Construction

The Cabinetry and Shelving Construction Simulation provides training in building and installing cabinetry, shelves, and storage systems for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces. Students engage in virtual scenarios where they design, cut, assemble, and install cabinets, drawers, and shelves. The simulation includes interactive tutorials on creating custom cabinetry using various joinery techniques, selecting and installing hinges and hardware, and ensuring overall functionality. XR (Extended Reality) integration adds an immersive experience, allowing students to visualize and interact with 3D models of their projects in real-time.

Transformer Installation and Testing

Gain hands-on experience in installing and testing electrical transformers for power distribution. In this simulation, students will virtually install step-up and step-down transformers in industrial and commercial settings. They will practice testing transformer windings, polarity, and voltage using virtual testing equipment. Real-time feedback will be provided on transformer selection, installation safety, and testing accuracy.

Soldering and Pipe Joining Simulation

Learn how to properly join pipes using techniques like soldering, brazing, and push-to-connect fittings. This simulation provides virtual practice in soldering copper pipes, selecting appropriate flux and heat sources. It also covers other joining techniques such as compression fittings, solvent welding for PVC, and press fittings for PEX. Feedback is given on joint strength, leakage prevention, and adherence to safety standards.
