Showcase
Over 150 emeddable or downloadable 3D Simulations in the subject area of Automation, Electro/Mechanical, Process Control, and Renewable Energy. Short 3-7 minute simulations that cover a range of engineering topics to help students understand conceptual engineering topics.
Each video is hosted on Vimeo and can be played, embedded, or downloaded for use in the classroom or online. Other option includes an embeddable HTML player created in Storyline with review questions for each simulation that reinforce the concepts learned.
Made possible under a Department of Labor grant. Extensive storyboard/ scripting work with instructors and industry experts to ensure content is accurate and up to date.
