Relevant Course Packages All Course Packages →

Hydronic Heating Systems

The Hydronic Heating Systems Simulation trains students on hydronic heating systems, which use water to distribute heat throughout a building. Students can practice virtually installing and troubleshooting systems that include boilers, radiators, and piping systems. Interactive exercises focus on adjusting water flow rates, pressure settings, and temperature control for radiant heating. Real-time feedback is provided on system balance, heat distribution, and energy efficiency.

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.

Gas Furnace Installation and Repair

The Gas Furnace Installation and Repair Simulation teaches students to install and repair gas furnaces, with a focus on proper venting and safety protocols for working with natural gas. Virtual scenarios guide students through connecting gas lines, ductwork, and venting systems for gas furnaces. Interactive exercises help students practice lighting pilot lights, adjusting gas valves, and monitoring flame sensors. The simulation provides feedback on safety practices, combustion efficiency, and troubleshooting issues like gas leaks, ignition failures, or cracked heat exchangers.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)

This XR simulation teaches students about the comprehensive processes involved in managing a product's lifecycle, from initial conception through design, development, production, and eventual retirement. Virtual tools allow students to coordinate product design, development, production, and sustainability, integrating CAD, CAM, and data management into the development cycle. Students will interact with real-world scenarios to optimize project timelines, resource allocation, and overall product lifecycle efficiency. Feedback is provided on their decisions related to production costs, environmental impact, and product sustainability.

Structural Analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Explore the principles of structural analysis and the application of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate and optimize engineering designs.

Aircraft Design and Structural Analysis

Teach students the principles of aircraft design, focusing on aerodynamics, weight distribution, and structural integrity. Explore virtual environments where students can design and analyze key aircraft components such as wings, fuselage, tail, and landing gear. Use interactive tools to perform stress and strain analysis, helping students understand load distribution, material strength, and potential failure points. Receive feedback on design optimization, weight reduction, and ensuring structural stability under various flight conditions.

LMS Integration

imaginX seamlessly integrates with leading LMS (Learning Management Systems), enabling educators to track student performance and allowing students to maintain their work records. It is compatible with popular platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, Schoology, Sakai, Brightspace/D2L, and can also be used independently of an LMS.
