Generator Synchronization (Part 1 of 2)
No full textThis video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part lecture on generator synchronization. The lecture walks through how to synchronize a generator to the grid, how examine the electrical and mechanical transients that occur at the time of synchronization, and how a synchronized generator exports real and reactive power. In this video, presenter Jim Pytel narrates the generator synchronization process and discusses the operation and function of two synchronization tools: synchronization lamps and the synchroscope.This video runs 17:24 minutes in length. The second part of the lecture is available to view separately
Student Research Project: Solar-Powered Cooling System for Parked Vehicles
No full textThis video from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education (CREATE) National Energy Center features a presentation by Khalid Tantawi, Assistant Professor of Mechatronics at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Tantawi presents the results of a research project in which undergraduate students designed a solar-powered cooling system for parked vehicles. The project had the goal of mitigating high temperatures inside parked vehicles during the summer months by using solar energy to cool the inside of the vehicles. Tantawi details the solar cooling system's operation, components, requirements, constraints, and budget.This video runs 00:31:05 minutes in length
Episode 45: Navigating Autonomous Technologies: A Conversation with Zackary Nicklin
No full textDuring this podcast episode from the Preparing Technicians From Work project, Zachary Niclin, co-PI from the National Center of Autonomous Technologies (NCAT), discusses converging technologies. This presentation focuses on NCAT's core autonomous systems technician pathway. Niclin defines convergence, introduces the audience to autonomous technologies industries, and discusses similarities between industries, and the classes offered at Northland College. These core courses give students exposure to different pathways. Niclin also includes the process of creating this pathway, which includes: identify common core, develop a credential, establish a pathway, create curriculum, and link to industry. Barriers to change include: stove piping, credit load requirements, significant front-end work, and will the core credential be accepted.This audio recording runs 25:15 minutes in length. Also available is a video version and .pdf transcript of the recording
Comparison of Cryopreservation Conditions on the Performance of NISTCHO Cells
No full textThis 10-page article, from the Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE), covers a study that investigates "... the performance of NISTCHO cells following cryopreservation at temperatures of -80C and -150C." The study compared initial cell viability, maximum cell density in culture, and monoclonal antibody production for cells that were cryopreserved for as long as 30 weeks. The cells were thawed and cultured at two-week intervals to observe their growth patterns, peak cell densities, and levels of antibody production. This article includes the following sections and subsections: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Cryptopreservation, NISTCHO Cell Culture, Cell harvest and mAb purification, SDS-PAGE, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, and References.&nbsp
Bias Busters: Promoting Diversity in Cyber and Technology
No full textThis video, provided by the National Cybersecurity Training and Education (NCyTE) Center, features a panel discussion on anti-bias and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the cybersecurity and technology fields. Each panelist discusses the impact of budget cuts on DEI programs, continuing DEI efforts despite budget cuts, and their personal stories with DEI. Throughout the talk, panelists give practical strategies in increasing diversity and reducing bias in the cybersecurity industry.The video runs 57:33 minutes in length
A Universal Programming Approach for Any Make of Programmable Logic Controllers
No full textIn this webinar, published by the the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center for Manufacturing (FLATE), Richard Gilbert from the University of South Florida explains an approach to translating programming skills from one make of programmable logic controllers (PLC) to PLCs created by other brands. This approach of PLC instruction aims to counteract the problems that arise from learning PLC programming on one specific brand of PLC that has different symbols and structure from other PLCs found in the field. Throughout the video, Gilbert goes into depth on the universal programming approach and how to teach it. Topics covered include the importance of PLC vocabulary usage in instruction, PLC continuity, PLC troubleshooting, and more.The video recording runs 53:25 minutes in length
