Material Science and Mechanical Properties Analysis

Introduce students to material properties, testing methods, and their applications in mechanical engineering through XR simulations. Students will engage in virtual material testing labs where they perform various tests such as tensile tests, hardness tests, impact tests, and fatigue analysis. The simulation includes interactive lessons on material properties like strength, ductility, toughness, and elasticity. Real-time feedback will help students understand material selection, suitability for specific applications, and how to optimize design for enhanced performance.

Water Heater Installation and Maintenance

Explore the installation and maintenance of water heaters, including gas, electric, and tankless systems. This simulation allows for virtual installation of various water heaters, connecting supply and drainage lines, pressure relief valves, and gas lines (when applicable). It also provides practice in maintaining water heaters by flushing tanks, replacing heating elements, and adjusting thermostats. Real-time feedback is provided on system efficiency, safety, and troubleshooting issues like leaks or temperature fluctuations.

CNC Machine Programming and Operation

CNC Machine Programming and Operation trains students on Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, essential in modern manufacturing for automated machining. Students will virtually program CNC machines to cut, mill, or shape materials according to specific designs, and simulate the generation and execution of G-code. The course includes 3D visualization of machining paths, with real-time feedback on tool wear, precision, and cycle times to optimize machining processes.

Machining Tolerances and Fits

Explore XR-based simulations for machining parts to meet specified tolerances and selecting appropriate fits for mating components. Students will interact with virtual machining scenarios, adjusting parameters to achieve precise tolerances, whether it's clearance, interference, or transition fits. This experience provides a deeper understanding of machining precision, helping to avoid the production of undersized or oversized parts. Real-time feedback ensures that users can evaluate part quality, tolerance control, and fit accuracy for optimal machining results.

Aircraft Systems Integration Testing

XR-enabled simulation for aircraft systems integration testing, ensuring seamless functionality across avionics, propulsion, hydraulics, and flight control systems. Virtual scenarios allow for testing, troubleshooting, and data interpretation to optimize overall aircraft performance and readiness.

Mechanics of Solids (Stress and Strain Analysis)

This XR simulation trains students to analyze stress and strain in solid objects subjected to various loading conditions. Virtual scenarios allow students to test mechanical components under tensile, compressive, shear, and torsional loads. Interactive lessons focus on calculating stress concentration factors, deflections, and material deformation, providing essential insights into the behavior of materials under stress. Students receive feedback on structural integrity, safety factors, and failure analysis to ensure optimal design and material selection.
