This resource, provided by Piedmont Virginia Community College, includes files for a project-based learning module that has students learn about OHM's law while building a solder exhaust fan. This project is intended for introductory electronics courses. During the project, students are introduced...

This lab activity is provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) and is intended to demonstrate, through reverse engineering, some of the features electronic devices need to perform. This activity includes the following sections: Purpose, Systems Rationale, Systems Concepts,...

This 10-page resource, made available by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), is a laboratory activity from the Solid State Devices course designed to "introduce the student to Switch mode power supplies." The following sections are included: Purpose, Systems Rationale, Systems...

This 16 page resource, made available by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), is a guide for students to use when assessing failures of electronic components within electronic systems. As electronic systems are complex, there can be thousands of causes for any given component...

Description: This laboratory activity, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), explores power amplifiers by having students 'analyze four different classes of amplifiers and compar(ing) their efficiencies.' Before beginning this lab students should be able to explain the...

This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants pass white light through a diffraction to separate and view all colors of the light spectrum. Participants learn about the order of colors in the light spectrum and different types of spectra...

This 14-page document, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Network (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, serves as a guide for a laboratory activity where students "create a basic SPC graph for maintaining gold nanoparticle manufacturing controls." Additionally,...

This 5-page lab guide, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Center (NACK) at Pennsylvania State University, is for a laboratory activity that demonstrates "the procedures necessary to overcome stiction between two micron surfaces." Throughout the lab, students will be...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment as an introduction to stress and strain. The lesson allows students the opportunity to "design and make a concrete cylinder and beam that can withstand the greatest applied load." The concepts of comprehensive...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on the elastic and plastic properties of metals. The module involves using metal wire to gauge the elastic and plastic properties of metals by measuring length difference as a result of additional tensile loads....
