The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode of ATETV examines a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) competition, HVAC as a career option, and the advantages of online distance learning. It can be viewed whole or in three segments:...

This interactive presentation, created by Terry Bartelt for the Electromechanical Digital Library, discusses the rotations per minute (RPM) of AC motors. Bartelt begins with a discussion of the magnetism that allows most of these motors to function. The author addresses such factors as the frequency...

How did Rutherford figure out the structure of the atomic nucleus without looking at it? Simulate the famous experiment in which he disproved the Plum Pudding model of the atom by observing alpha particles bouncing off atoms and determining that they must have a small core. This simulation of a...

Presented by the University of Cambridge's Engineering Department, this page contains an interactive semiconductor diode animation. Additionally, a quiz and short exam are provided.

Created by Patrick Hoppe of the Wisconsin Online Resource Center, this primer introduces the student to the key terms and concepts associated with the silicon diode. This is a nice introductory flash presentation for those interested in this topic.

SimBuilding, created by the Concord Consortium at Santa Fe Community College (SFCC), allows educators to build educational games that collect learner data that can then be analyzed to assess how players learn from the game. The types of games that can be created using SimBuilding include:...

The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode of ATETV examines simulation and game development, geospatial technologies, and civil engineering. The video can be viewed whole or in three segments: "From Playing Games to Making Them,"...

This animation, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), includes a cut-away and a short description that explain how a pneumatic single action gripper works. An .mp4 is also available for viewing and runs 1:20 minutes in length. 

The North Carolina Community College System BioNetwork's interactive eLearning tools (IETs) are reusable chunks of training that can be deployed in a variety of courses or training programs. IETs are designed to enhance, not replace hands-on training. Learners are able to enter a hands-on lab...

In this animated and interactive object, the learner uses a TI-86 calculator to solve for the magnitude of the resultant and of one of the component forces in a right triangle.
