Trim Work and Finish Carpentry

The Trim Work and Finish Carpentry Simulation trains students in advanced woodworking techniques such as installing trim, baseboards, crown molding, and other intricate details commonly used in carpentry finishing. Virtual scenarios allow students to practice cutting, fitting, and installing trim and moldings around windows, doors, and walls. The simulation includes tutorials on how to miter corners, join pieces, and securely attach trim using nails or adhesives.

Grounding and Bonding Simulation

Learn proper grounding and bonding techniques to prevent electrical shock and ensure system safety. Through virtual simulations, students will install grounding rods, wires, and bonding systems for electrical panels, appliances, and equipment. Interactive scenarios will allow testing of grounding systems with virtual testers and multimeters, providing real-time feedback on grounding integrity, system safety, and adherence to NEC standards.

Pavement Design and Analysis (XR)

Explore the principles of designing durable and efficient pavements for roads, highways, and airfields. Students can engage in virtual scenarios to design flexible and rigid pavement layers, select materials, and analyze the effects of traffic loads. Interactive tools guide them in determining pavement thickness, stress distribution, and conducting life cycle analyses. Feedback emphasizes durability, cost optimization, and long-term maintenance strategies.

Microcontroller and Embedded Systems Programming

The Microcontroller and Embedded Systems module provides virtual environments (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi) where students can design, simulate, and test embedded systems. Through interactive exercises, students learn to interface sensors, actuators, and communication modules, while writing and debugging code to control devices effectively.

Fixture Design and Workholding Techniques

Explore XR-based simulations for designing and using fixtures, jigs, and workholding devices for machining complex parts. Students will engage in virtual fixture design, learning to create custom fixtures to hold irregularly shaped workpieces securely. The interactive lessons cover clamping techniques, workpiece alignment, and ensuring rigidity during cutting operations. Real-time feedback helps students assess the effectiveness of their fixture designs, machining stability, and part accuracy, all while improving their ability to handle complex machining tasks.

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.
