Paths to Residential Decarbonization With Iain Walker (Session 6 of 10)
No full textThis presentation, provided by the Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Center, is from the BEST Center's 2022 Annual Institute. During the presentation, Iain Walker, staff scientist and engineer at the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory, discuses home decarbonization with a focus on affordability. The way towards residential decarbonization is through electrification, which depending on the project, can be expensive. Walker focuses on the different costs of decarbonization, pathways to cost compression, and the necessary cost reduction to make different types of projects more affordable. Among other topics also discussed are the benefits of residential decarbonization, such as increased safety through using electricity instead of gas, money saved overtime, and more.This video runs 30:34 minutes in length. Additional videos from the BEST 2022 Institute are available to view separately
Air Preparation in Pneumatic Systems (Part 1 of 2)
No full textThis video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part lecture that examines air preparation and pressure management in pneumatic systems, discussing the operation of system components, such as pressure switches, regulators, compressors, and more. In the video, presenter Jim Pytel illustrates a simple pneumatic circuit schematic in order to discuss the operation of pneumatic systems and their components, with particular focus on regulators. Also mentioned in the video are accessory air preparation components and a brief comparison of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.This video runs 20:28 minutes in length. The second part of the lecture is available to view separately
Lesson Plan: Science
No full textThis collection of six activity-based science lessons and pre-assessment is from the American Samoa Technician Education Readiness Pathway Project (ASTERP). ASTERP aims to adapt the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded guitar building program to prepare students in American Samoa for entry into technician education programs. The project features unique lesson plans, designed to address gaps in STEM education, that incorporate the skills and knowledge required to pursue technician careers into the guitar building curriculum.The six lesson plans cover scientific concepts and skills in order to prepare students for building guitars. Each 2 or 3-page lesson plan includes an activity description, activity procedures, learning objectives and standards, materials required, references, and assessment methods. Many of these lessons can be applied outside the context of the NSF guitar building program. The 3-page pre-assessment tests students' knowledge of relevant science and engineering concepts. As follows is a summary of each lesson:Guitar Anatomy: teaches students about the components of a guitar along with anatomy as a conceptLab Safety: introduces students to lab safety proceduresMeasurement: provides an overview of measurement units, tools, and methodsWood Wobots - Woodworking: connects basic woodworking and sculptural techniques to guitar buildingPerfect Pitches with a Rubber Band Guitar: students use rubber band guitars to learn about sound waves and the effects of frequency and amplitudeSound and Vibrations 1: Rubber Band Guitar: students create rubber band guitars to learn how vibrations create soundsBelow is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment.

Learning Activity 7.3: Data for the Pump down Curve with Dry Paper Tissue
No full textThis video, published by Erie Community College, features a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) undergoing the pump-down process with a paper tissue simulating a dry contaminant. The experiment lasts five minutes and includes a pressure gauge with the current atmospheric pressure, allowing learners to record changes in pressure throughout the pump-down process. The Data collected from this experiment can be used to create a pump-down curve in learning activity seven of the lab manual.The video corresponds with lessons in a student lab manual and instructor guide that accompanies the Introduction to Vacuum Technology E-book. This textbook provides an introduction to vacuum technology and science, and features topics curated to the needs of technicians in a production environment. The guides include student questions and a data table corresponding to the video.The video runs 7:25 minutes in length. The E-book, and related student and instructor guides, videos, and labs are available to view separately

Team Nira: Technical Report
No full textThis 25-page report, from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Kancheepuram, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by Team Nira for the Explorer Class of the 2023 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.This report begins with an abstract that introduces the team. The design rationale section provides an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, discussing the design and frame structure. The section on electrical design discusses power management, sensors, perf board design, power consumption, and tether. The section on mechanical design discusses propulsion, buoyancy, the pneumatics system, and hull and penetrators. The report also covers the design approach, safety, control system design, and more.Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately
