Farm to Flight: Are Sustainable Aviation Fuels Good for the Environment?
No full textThe Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge Program (BRIDGES) creates case study curriculum. BRIDGES is "focused on topical, authentic case study scenarios in the bioenergy field." The cases studies explore "... solutions for a more secure energy future using bioenergy technologies while addressing cultural responsiveness and issues surrounding diversity."This case study, from the U.S. Department of Energy, is aimed at introducing students to sustainable aviation fuels. During the activity, "students will assume the role of a sustainability specialist in the cutting-edge biofuel industry to compare the use of sustainable and petroleum-based jet fuels, including their greenhouse gas emissions." Students will learn about bioenergy, environmental impact, life cycle analysis, computational models, and more. A .zip file includes all case study materials, such as a fact sheet, instructor guide, and supplemental materials. Users may download the materials for one or all four case studies
Circular Area and Cylindrical Volume (Part 1 of 2)
No full textThis video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part lecture that covers the calculation of circular surface area and cylindrical volume, the use of these calculations in hydraulic systems, and common volume unit conversions in the hydraulics industry. This lecture walks through real-world examples to explain how to perform circular surface area calculations. This video runs 16:20 minutes in length. The second part of the lecture is available to view separately.&nbsp
Logic Valves (Part 2 of 2)
No full textThis video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the second part of a two part lecture that examines logic valves, focusing on AND/dual pressure valves and OR/shuttle valves. The second part of the lecture features examples of air piloted pneumatics systems that make use of logic valves.This video runs 6:02 minutes in length. The first part of the lecture is available to view separately
BILT Trends Summaries
No full textThese one-page flyers were developed at the request of member schools in the National Convergence Technology Centers's IT educator community of practice, known as the "CCN" (Convergence College Network), to help support their local high school programs. High school faculty have full schedules and limited free time, so rather than ask them to review several pages of BILT (Business and Industry Leadership Team) meeting minutes, these shorter "executive summaries" of BILT meeting trends discussions were created. Faculty is therefore kept current on IT industry trends and can leverage these perspectives in the classroom. The ultimate goal is to convince high school IT programs of the value of CCN membership and persuade them to join.The trends that are covered within the summaries are ChatGPT, online forums like GitHub and Reddit, DevSecOps, lifelong learning for IT professionals, and learning more than one cloud platform
What Does the Machine Know AI and Science Fiction
No full textThis presentation, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC), was given to attendees of the July 2023 Summer Working Connections professional development event. During the presentation, George Gabb from Miami Dade College discusses current and future trends in AI. Gabb covers some history of AI, its evolution, and misconceptions. The presentation touches on the use of AI in education, advocating for embracing the technology's capabilities to support learning.This video runs 38:00 minutes in length
Lean and Agile Synergies in IT
No full textThis presentation, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC) and given by Laura Chang from Dallas College, explores the "DNA origins" of Lean and Agile and how together the two practices help technical teams work collaboratively and find flow in their work. Chang shares her experiences working with Lean and Agile practices, emphasizing their benefits like cost savings, improved organizational culture, and efficiency.This video runs 25:49 minutes in length
Strategies and Insights into Evaluation Plans for NSF ATE Proposals
No full textThis webinar and accompanying informational packet, published by EvaluATE, provide information about evaluation plans for National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grant programs. In the webinar, presenters discuss the essential elements of an evaluation plan and how to integrate evaluation with the other elements of your proposal. The webinar explores practical strategies for writing evaluation questions, identifying evaluation indicators, and developing evaluation data matrixes.The 36-page packet features a collection of resources for pre-award National Science Foundation grantees. Resources consist of different templates, checklists, guides, and other tools that walk future grantees through the process of writing an evaluation plan for an ATE project proposal and other pre-award evaluation tasks. Covered are topics such as finding and selecting an evaluator for an ATE proposal, developing evaluation questions, and creating a logic model.This webinar runs 50:30 minutes in length. Presentation slides are also included
Cybersecurity for Manufacturing Technicians (2 of 4)
No full textThis video from Florida Advanced Technological Education Center for Manufacturing (FLATE) is part of a series of webinars that explore cybersecurity for manufacturing technicians. The series explores the intersection of information and operational technology, and provides guidelines for developing targeted plans to incorporate cybersecurity in manufacturing areas. In this video, Ron Eaglin explores case studies that highlight cybersecurity issues that manufacturing technicians should understand. The case studies highlight a virus at the company Stuxnet and the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack. The video recording runs 57:57 minutes in length
Learning Activity 4.3.B: Boyle's law for the Expanded Shaving Cream
No full textThis video, published by Erie Community College (ECC), focuses on an experiment that involves spraying shaving cream in a beaker and placing it in the the vacuum chamber of a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) and then reducing the pressure. Elena Brewer, physics professor at ECC, provides step-by-step instructions for performing the experiment and collecting data. Following the experiment, Brewer guides viewers through the process of inputting the collected data into a data table, similar to the one in the lab manual, along with completing some of the student response questions featured in section 4.3b.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 9:35 minutes in length. The E-book, and related student and instructor guides, videos, and labs are available to view separately
