Energy Audit Technology
No full textTeachers' Domain presents this video on energy audit technology, adapted from ATETV. The video features students learning energy audit technology at Sinclair Community College. Students studying in this field learn how to measure energy use so that they can then help homeowners and others conserve energy and save money. This training includes learning to use technology to check the efficiency of mechanical systems and locate air leaks. These students are preparing for careers in the emerging field of energy efficiency. Running time for this video is 2:02, and a supplemental background essay, discussion questions, and standards alignment from Teachers' Domain are available on the site
Materials Processing- A Piece of Cake!
No full textThis lesson plan, which has been used in a college level materials processing laboratory course, looks at the concept of processing-structure-property relationships. "The students baked cakes at the beginning of the semester and studied them as an introduction to the course. The activity was repeated at the end of the semester after the students had learned processing and characterization techniques."
Differential Equations
No full textThis course, presented by MIT and taught by Professors Haynes Miller and Arthur Mattuck, provides undergraduate level calculus instruction. Focusing on differential equations, the materials include video lectures, lecture notes, exams and assignments (with solutions). MIT presents OpenCourseWare as free educational material online. No registration or enrollment is required to use the materials
BioMEMS Applications Learning Module
No full textThis page from the Support Center for Microsystems Education features a learning module on the current applications of biological microelectromechanical systems, or BioMEMS. The lesson aims to introduce specific applications of the devices and asks students to analyze advantages and possible disadvantages of using the devices. A participant guide, instructor guide (both in PDF format) and a comprehensive Power Point presentation are included. Users are encouraged to register and log in in order to access the full content on the site
Introduction to Digital Microscopy
No full textThis video is targeted toward students who are using a digital microscope for the first time. The video will demonstrate the following: 1) Parts of the digital microscope 2) Preparing a wet mount of Elodea 3) Preparing a wet mount of onion epidermis 4) Viewing chloroplast and cytoplasmic streaming in Elodea leaf and 5) Measuring an onion epidermis cell. The equipment used in this video is Micro-optics Motic binocular microscope that comes with a specific software Motic Images Plus. However, there are a variety of different options available for classroom use. In each case, the student will be able to learn how to appropriately use the digital microscope and prepare wet mounts for live viewing of cells and cell structures like a cell wall, nucleus and chloroplast. The video may be viewed in full via YouTube (Flash is required). Running time for the clip is 7:16
Notes and Books for Engineering and Technology
No full textThe materials on this web site have been created to support a variety of courses in engineering programs spanning three universities since 1991. The focus of all of the materials is to lay a solid foundation of knowledge to support design and implementation. Although these materials will be of interest to others, they will be most useful to students and professional engineers and technologists
