This literature review on spatial reasoning skills with a focus on female engineering students covers gender differences in spatial reasoning ability, methods for assessing student ability, interventions that have proven effective for female engineering students, and research-based recommendations...

The ENGAGE project worked with the authors of the Introduction to 3D Spatial Visualization: An Active Approach textbook and workbook to provide educators with customizable PowerPoint presentations to introduce nine spatial reasoning curriculum modules. At Michigan Tech, 80% of female engineering...

This experiment will demonstrate the heat that is released when iron is oxidized. Students will learn to prepare chemical mixtures safely, identify when a chemical reaction is taking place, observe the results of an exothermic chemical reaction and the effects of differing constituents on the rate...

This lecture, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, provides a detailed look "at the electrical characteristics of 3 phase AC squirrel cage induction motors." Viewers should first watch the Squirrel Cage Induction Motors Mechanical Properties lecture before viewing this video. During this ...

This lecture, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, covers the electrical characteristics of 3 phage AC squirrel cage induction motors. During the lecture, current, real, and reactive power; phase shift; power factor and efficiency at, and rated conditions is examined.  This video runs...

This lecture, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, covers the mechanical properties of squirrel cage induction motors.
