Synchronous Condensers (Part 2 of 2)
No full textThis video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the second part of a two part lecture on synchronous condensers. Throughout the lecture, presenter Jim Pytel walks viewers through scenarios that demonstrate the function and capabilities of synchronous condensers. The lecture explores topics such as the effect how the underexcitation of a rotor causes a synchronous condenser to consume positive power, how the overexcitation of the rotor causes a synchronous condenser to supply negative reactive power, and how "managing field current a synchronous condenser can power factor correct a larger 3 phase AC system." In this part, Pytel continues illustrating scenarios that demonstrate the operation of synchronous condensers.This video runs 8:46 minutes in length. The first part of the lecture is available to view separatel
Pneumatic Schematics (Part 1 of 2)
No full textThis video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part lecture that provides a wide overview of the schematic symbols used to represent pneumatic system components. In this video, instructor Jim Pytel gives an introduction to pneumatic schematics and discusses symbols such as those associated with pneumatic sources, actuators, cylinders, and more. With each symbol is a brief explanation of the component it represents.This video runs 14:59 minutes in length. The second part of the lecture is available to view separately
Starring The Sun
No full textThis video, from WPS SolarWise for Schools, provides an overview of various aspects related to the sun.

Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous Systems
No full textThis video, from the National Cybersecurity Training and Education (NCyTE), features a presentation by Zackary Nicklin, Stephen Miller from ENMU-Ruidoso/NCyTE, and other cybersecurity educators. Presenters discuss the intersection of cybersecurity with various disciplines, including drone technology and unmanned aircraft systems. Challenges such as human error in cybersecurity, social engineering, and the importance of security awareness training in organizations are explored. Stephen Miller shares a high school project involving drones programmed in C, where students also learn about network patch security by simulating drone hacking scenarios. The discussion emphasizes the need for more cybersecurity expertise in standards committees, especially for unmanned systems, and highlights efforts to integrate cybersecurity education across different fields.This video runs 54:32 minutes in length
Developing Local Articulations to Increase Enrollment in College Programs
No full textIn this video from Florida Advanced Technological Education Center for Manufacturing (FLATE), Sam Ajlani "covers how to create local articulation agreements between high schools and their local colleges to match high school career and technical education (CTE) courses with college CTE courses. This ensures that students receive college credit for their high school CTE courses and will help increase enrollment in CTE college programs." Types of articulations, examples, benefits, and more are highlighted. The video recording runs 1:10:50 minutes in length.&nbsp
