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.

Circuit Design and Troubleshooting

Explore the design and troubleshooting of electrical circuits by simulating various scenarios, including short circuits, overloads, and wiring faults. Students will create, test, and simulate different electrical circuits, such as parallel, series, and combination circuits. Using virtual multimeters and other testing tools, students will diagnose and resolve common circuit faults while receiving real-time feedback on their designs and troubleshooting methods.

Water Pressure and Flow Simulation

Explore virtual scenarios focused on troubleshooting and maintaining water pressure in plumbing systems. Practice adjusting and measuring water pressure using pressure gauges, and resolve issues like low pressure, water hammer, and excessive pressure. Receive real-time feedback on pressure regulation, system performance, and adherence to plumbing codes.

Siding Installation

The Siding Installation Simulation teaches students how to install exterior siding materials such as wood, vinyl, fiber cement, or metal. Students engage in virtual practice to measure, cut, and install siding materials on building walls. The simulation includes tutorials on aligning siding panels, securing them to the building frame, and adding trim pieces for a polished look. XR (Extended Reality) integration enhances the learning experience by allowing students to visualize the full-scale siding installation process and interact with 3D models of siding materials in a real-world setting.

Energy Efficiency and Green HVAC Technologies

The Energy Efficiency and Green HVAC Technologies Simulation provides students with hands-on experience in installing and operating energy-efficient HVAC systems and integrating green technologies like geothermal heat pumps, solar-assisted systems, and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). Students will virtually install and operate these systems while measuring energy consumption and system performance. Scenarios include integrating renewable energy sources like solar panels into HVAC systems. Real-time feedback will focus on energy savings, system performance, and environmental impact.

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.
