Introduction to Geology
No full textIf you are having difficulty remembering the details of the Earth's geological structure or the nature of major minerals and rock types, you can consult this excellent introductory course offered as part of MIT's OpenCourseWare initiative. The materials are drawn from Professors Perron and Jagoutz's 2011 "Introduction to Geology" course, and they include a number of lecture notes, available for download in PDF file format. The course is designed for undergraduates, though anyone can benefit from examining the materials. Visitors can make their way through lecture notes that cover metamorphic rocks, rock deformation, earthquakes, and the formation of continents
Electrochemical Energy Systems
No full textThe OpenCourseWare Initiative (OCW) has produced many wonderful free course materials on urban planning, philosophy, engineering, and mathematics. This recent offering from MIT's OCW collection presents material from the spring 2011 version of "Electrochemical Energy Systems." Taught by Professor Martin Bazant, the course "introduces principles and mathematical models of electrochemical energy conversion and storage." On this page, visitors can download and peruse the syllabus, read through the course calendar, and take a look at the lecture notes. The notes cover 39 different topics, including statistical thermodynamics, forced convention in fuel cells, and ion concentration polarization. Also, visitors are welcome to look over the problem sets and provide feedback on the course
Changing Student Lives Through Advanced Technological Education
No full textIn this lesson designed for professional development, learn about rapidly emerging fields in advanced technology that your students may find of interest when considering a career. You will watch videos, explore interactive activities, and answer content-related questions to gain insights into the various industries that use advanced technology, the kinds of people working in or training for these jobs, and the skills and education needed to succeed. Then you will research ATE programs in your area that align with your studentsâ interests and inquire about internships and other firsthand experiences high school students may use to evaluate possible career pathways. The lesson is accompanied standards alignment and users who sign up for a free account can save the resource to a folder to be used again later
