Control Systems and Automation

Explore the fundamentals of control systems and their application in automation through immersive XR simulations.

CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Integration

Explore XR-driven CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software simulations to teach students how to generate toolpaths for CNC machining. Students will virtually import 3D models, set up machining operations, and create G-code for CNC machines. Interactive lessons guide them through toolpath creation, cutting strategies, and simulating machining operations. Feedback on toolpath efficiency, machining time, and material removal helps refine their CAM and CNC programming skills.

Excavation/Trenching

Gain hands-on experience in excavation and trenching operations, focusing on safety protocols, equipment use, and efficient soil handling techniques.

Electrical Circuits and Systems Simulation

Electrical Circuits and Systems Simulation provides students with the knowledge and skills to design, analyze, and troubleshoot electrical circuits, with a focus on mechatronic applications. Through interactive simulations of DC and AC circuits, students will work with components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes. Using virtual oscilloscope and multimeter tools, students will measure voltage, current, and resistance, while receiving real-time feedback on circuit functionality, power ratings, and potential faults.

Electrical Panel and Breaker Installation

Learn the process of installing electrical panels and breakers in residential, commercial, and industrial systems. Through virtual simulations, students will design and install electrical panels, wire breakers, and ensure the correct distribution of electrical loads. They will practice the proper techniques for panel installation, breaker selection, and safety measures while receiving feedback on system functionality and code compliance.

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.
