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 4:19 minutes in length and part one is...

This laboratory exercise will help instructors explain the particulars of designing composite sandwich panels, which are used in a variety of applications like surfboards, wake boards and corrugated cardboard. The experiment is explained step by step; this document will serve as a framework for...

This page is a course overview for Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) course 4.42, Fundamentals of Energy in Buildings.  Topics covered include heating and cooling systems, heat transfer of building materials, air and water vapor effects, and design strategies. The site provides a...

This webinar, provided by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, provides an overview of the fundamentals of metrology and characterization for nanotechnology. During the webinar, Dr. Diane Hickey-Davis from Pennsylvania State...

This 7-page lab guide, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, features an online laboratory activity that provides a demonstration and overview of the necessary procedures to operate the Lindberg tube furnace. During...

This module, created by Jamie Acker of Olympic High School in Bremerton, Washington, provides a look into an entry-level lab on galvanized metal. The introduction states, "This simple lab visually shows the effects of removing zinc from a galvanized piece of sheet metal and provides students an...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of material properties. Students will create a microfluidic device to show "the importance of channel design in biotechnology and nanotechnology and the methods used to study the behavior of fluids as...

This presentation from Sheryl A. Sorby of Michigan Technological University discusses gender differences in spatial reasoning skills, and the effects of these differences on success and retention in engineering programs. Sorby asks the question: If spatial skills are critical to success in...

This 7-page paper, from Naomi C. Chesler and Mark A. Chesler, discusses a strategy to improve mentorship for female engineering scholars. The pair "explore the sociological literature on interpersonally- and institutionally- generated gender roles and dynamics that make the construction and...

This video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part demonstration of an isolated electrically excited synchronous generator in the loaded condition. The demonstration will illustrate how varying the magnitude and reactive nature of an electrical load connected...
