Transmission Systems and Gearbox Design

This module focuses on automotive transmission systems, including manual, automatic, and CVTs. It provides students with a hands-on approach to understanding the design and functionality of various transmission components such as gears, clutches, and differentials. Through virtual simulations, students will learn about gear ratio calculations, shifting mechanisms, and the optimization of power transmission in vehicles.

Sensor and Actuator Integration Simulation

Sensor and Actuator Integration Simulation teaches students how to integrate various types of sensors (such as proximity, temperature, and pressure) with actuators in automated systems. Through hands-on simulations, students will virtually integrate sensors into control systems, monitor input data in real-time, and observe how actuators (such as motors, solenoids, and relays) respond to sensor inputs. The course provides valuable feedback on sensor accuracy, system responsiveness, and effective calibration techniques.

Robotics and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Explore the world of designing, building, and controlling Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and aerospace robotics for autonomous flight. In this simulation, students will gain hands-on experience by programming UAVs for specific missions, including navigation, obstacle avoidance, and data collection. Using XR-enabled environments, students will interact with drone dynamics, sensor integration, and flight path optimization techniques, while receiving valuable feedback on UAV stability, control responses, and overall mission performance.

Motor Control Circuits Simulation

Explore the design and troubleshooting of motor control circuits used in industrial automation. In this simulation, students will virtually install and wire motor starters, relays, and control circuits for electric motors. They will program motor control systems, utilizing start/stop buttons, overload protection, and variable speed drives. The simulation offers real-time feedback on system performance, motor control accuracy, and troubleshooting techniques, enhanced with XR for an immersive learning experience.

Fuel System Inspection and Maintenance

Train in the inspection and maintenance of aircraft fuel systems, with a focus on tanks, pumps, lines, and valves. Virtual scenarios will allow for the detection of leaks, blockages, and contamination in fuel systems. Interactive lessons cover cleaning fuel filters, calibrating gauges, and testing the fuel delivery system, with real-time feedback on system efficiency and safety compliance.

Threading Operations (Internal and External)

Train students to perform threading operations on both internal and external surfaces using lathe machines or hand-operated threading dies. Through XR simulations, students will practice cutting precise threads on bolts, shafts, and pipes, adjusting thread pitches, speeds, and maintaining proper tool alignment. The simulation provides hands-on experience with critical threading techniques, allowing students to gain proficiency in achieving accurate thread depths, uniformity, and fit for various applications.
