This document provides a learning module on tempered safety glass. In this activity, instructors demonstrate the fracture toughness of tempered glass, thereby illustrating how the glass is toughened and introducing the concept of the fractography of glass. It can be used in classrooms from...

This 13-page report, published by Tiyan High School, describes the design and construction of Alpheus 3.0, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). This report was created by Tethys Inc., a student group that participated in the 2021 MATE ROV competitions Ranger class. MATE ROV is a global...

The Marine Advanced Technology Education Center introduces the concept of actuators as they are utilized on a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, using the Angelfish ROV project. Students will learn the basics of the Angelfish ROV using videos which demonstrate the step-by-step building process and...

This slide deck, from the Advanced Manufacturing and Prototyping Integrated to Unlock Potential (AMP-IT-UP) project, was presented at the annual meeting of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching in April, 2016. This presentation discusses the AMP-IT-UP project and the designing an...

This animation is provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) and illustrates the diffusion process. The objective of the animation is to explain the difference between the Vacancy and Interstitial diffusion models. These models have been developed to explain the mechanism for...

This paper, from R.M. Felder and E.J. Dietz of North Carolina State University, and G.N. Felder of Stanford University, covers a study done of students in an engineering course, and how their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator affects their performance and attitudes in the course. A background of...

This interactive presentation, created by James Bourassa and hosted by the Electromechanical Digital Library, provides a detailed explanation of different physics laws regularly employed by electricians. The presentation performs rearrangements of Ohm's and Watt's laws, these respectively being V=IR...

This book, from the National Academy of Engineering, is available for free download, and presents ways "to enhance the nation's economic productivity and improve the quality of life worldwide, engineering education in the United States must anticipate and adapt to the dramatic changes of engineering...

This animation is provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) and shows the plasma etching of silicon dioxide. In this type of plasma etching process, a chlorine gas and argon gas mixture is used. The chlorine gas neutral charge molecules bond with the surface silicon dioxide...

This paper, the first of a series of six, was originally published in 2000 in Chemical Engineering Education and surveys recent changes and predicts future directions in engineering education. The authors review the global issues that will require reform in the way engineers are educated and...
