AUTO-2440 - Hybrid Electric Vehicle Power Management
No full textThis three credit course offered at Macomb Community College discusses the practical application of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) power management systems. Areas of study include computer controls of the internal combustion engine (ICE), battery types, HEV thermal management, motors, safety, and HEV/EV accessories. System types, service procedures, and diagnostic procedures are covered for Ford, General Motors, Honda, and Lexus/Toyota vehicles. Included educational materials for this course are homework, sample exams and quizzes, labs, lesson plans, pre-assessment, and syllabus. Solutions are not provided with any materials. If youâre an instructor and would like complete exams, quizzes, or solutions, please contact the CAAT. This course is composed of six modules that can be used to supplement existing courses or taught together as a complete course. These modules are Intro to HEVs,Honda HEVs, Toyota HEVs,Ford HEVs, GM HEVs, and Fuel Cell
Introduction to Geospatial Programming
No full textGeoTech Center presents a series of model courses on GIS, spatial technologies, and related subjects. This seventh course introduces "how to customize GIS software applications by way of modified service interface elements" by learning various scripting languages. A course outline describes prerequisites, student learning outcomes, and course objectives. A second document contains a rubric for evaluating student learning outcomes
(100) Crystal Plane of Silicon
No full textThis animation, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), "illustrates the crystal growth of silicon using a seed crystal (or unit cell) positioned to the (100) plane. The silicon crystal grows into a large ingot which is sliced into silicon wafers. To verify the (100) plane of the wafer, the wafer is broken or cleaved causing it to break at 90 degree angles." The supporting Crystallography Learning Module and activities can be downloaded from the SCME website under Educational Materials
MEMS Pressure Sensor Fabrication
No full textThis animated YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), illustrates the nine step process of micropressure sensor fabrication. In total, the video runs for 2:05. More information can be found on the SCME website, and corresponding materials for this animation can be downloaded from Educational Materials
Groundwater Animations
No full textThis site features Flash and QuickTime animations related to groundwater. They contrast the permeability of gravel, sand, silt, and clay, as well as the speed of groundwater movement in rivers, lakes, and aquifers. They also outline the hydrologic cycle, discussing infiltration, percolation, and the water table, exhibit groundwater overdraft and the resulting formation of a cone of depression, and show how groundwater entering fractured bedrock can become superheated and pushed to the surface, erupting as a geyser. The animations can be paused and rewound to stress important points. These resources are suitable for use in lectures, labs, or other teaching activities
Introduction to Alternative and Renewable Energy: Alternative Energy- New Directions
No full textThis module is intended for use in a college-level introductory course in alternative and renewable energy. The document covers new directions for alternative energy such as thermoacoustics, thermoelectrics, magnetocalorics, sun heat thermochemical storage, liquid metal batteris and fusion. Each technology is described in depth and useful graphics are included to illustrate the material. This module may be downloaded in PDF file format
FOA Lecture 12: Fiber Optic Testing Overview
No full textLecture 12 begins a series of lectures on fiber optic testing. In this lecture, the presenter discusses what fiber optic testing means- what components need testing and where testing is done. The next few lectures will cover topics like visual testing, insertion loss, OTDR testing and advanced topics like testing multimode and singlemode fibers and long haul link testing. Those lectures are available separately. Running time for the lecture is 9:35. Flash is required to view the video
California's Energy Future: The View to 2050
No full textIn this two year study funded by the California Energy Commission and S.D. Bechtel, a committee of individuals from major energy research institutions in California develops strategies to meet Executive Order S-3-05. Executive Order S-3-05 requires California to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. To accomplish this, CO2 levels will need to drop from 13 tons CO2e per capita (2005) to 1.6 tons CO2e per capita (2050) while the population continues to grow and energy use is expected to double. To offer a solution to this challenge, multiple âenergy system portraitsâ are developed with combinations of nuclear, biomass, electricity, and fossil fuels with carbon capturing systems. Itâs concluded by applying key aggressive strategies and investing in multiple technologies, implementations, research, development, and innovation, California can meet executive order S-3-05
FOA Lecture 16: Insertion Loss Testing
No full textThis is Lecture 16 in the FOA series on fiber optics. This lecture is about insertion loss testing. Insertion loss testing tests an installed cable plant with a light source and power meter in a method that is similar to how a communications system transmits data over the cable plant. Insertion loss testing is used to test the cable plant and compare it to the loss budget calculated in the design phase to ensure the planned communications systems will work over the cable plant. Running time for the lecture is 15:50. Flash is required to view the video
Gordon and Mike's ICT Podcast: Why We Are Not Google: Lessons from a Library Web Site Usability Study
No full textGordon and Mike's ICT Podcast offers perspectives on the information and communication technologies (ICT) industries from Gordon Snyder and Mike Qaissaunee. In this podcast, the hosts discuss an article published by librarians Troy Swanson and Jeremy Green in the Journal of Academic Librarianship. The article discusses the results of a usage study of a library web site and its implications for various information retrieval tools. Running time for the show is 22:40.This podcast is available for direct download in mp3 format from the Libsyn site, or listeners can subscribe to the whole series in iTunes
