This article from SPIE describes how dielectric breakdown and wet etching may provide a method of fabricating 3D nano- and microscale channels inside transparent dielectric materials. The article includes several graphics which help to illustrate the concept.

This site includes a Java applet that displays Fourier series approximations and corresponding magnitude and phase spectra of a periodic continuous-time signal. Select from provided signals, or draw a signal with the mouse.

This website provides information on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). On this page users will find an introduction to FPGA, projects, interfaces, software, and quick start guides. Some projects include music box, LED displays, R/C servos, graphic LCD panel, and more. 

This lesson plan demonstrates the toughness of Corelle material and relates the behavior of Corelle plates to the material's design and structure. The students will examine a Corelle plate and ask the questions: Why don't Corelle plates break and how are they manufactured? The module would be...

This 20 page case study, from the Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) National Center, provides an overview of the facility management, maintenance, and operations of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Best practices are highlighted to "provide snap-shots of...

This paper, from Roger Bohn at the University of California, San Diego, "models knowledge about manufacturing methods as a directed graph of cause-effect relationships." The paper covers changes in knowledge over time, including the shift from art to science in technical and manufacturing knowledge.

This presentation, provided by the Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Center, is from the BEST Center's 2023 Annual Institute. During this presentation, the presenter share[s] an Emissions Reduction Audit Checklist developed by the Department of Energy and Lawrence Berkeley...

This resource, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), is an animation of a finished wafer to packaged integrated circuits. The objective of this resource is to describe the wafer to packaged device process steps. An .mp4 is also included and runs 01:23 minutes in length. 

This case study describes the Additive Manufacturing (AM) department at Somerset Community College's collaboration with the Fultons, a husband and wife team looking to produce an essential oil product. The Fultons faced high financial cost and a time-intensive process to engineer this product. The...

This lecture, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, introduces the B&K Precision 4010A function generator. The instructor shows how to "use the function generator to produce sinusoidal voltage with a desired magnitude and frequency." The recording runs 4:44 minutes in length and part two is...
