This paper, from Richard M. Felder and E. Jacquelin Dietz of North Carolina State University, and Gary Felder of Stanford University, covers a longitudinal study of chemical engineering students taught using different experimental methods, and how this affects performance and retention. The methods,...

This experiment will help to illustrate creep in metals at room temperature. Step by step instructions are included for instructors to set up specimens to use in the demonstration. This activity would be appropriate for high school and college level students. The lesson should take about one week of...

This article, which originally appeared in the International Journal of Engineering Education, describes the NSF-sponsored Southeastern University and College Coalition for Engineering Education (SUCCEED) faculty development program and briefly reviews the events in engineering education that led to...

The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode of ATETV features the work of a demonstration engineer for Cisco Systems. This dynamic career is explained well here. Students with an interest in new technology and communications should...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan for students learning about polymers. The class will create a material similar to silly putty using cross linking polymers. The module will allow students to observe the changes in physical properties when a...

In this video adapted from the ICT Center, students will learn about "the angles associated with light propagation in optical fibers." The video also demonstrates the meaning of total internal reflection, acceptance angle and numerical aperture. The material is intended for students in grades 11-12....

This paper, from Theodore Lewis of the Department of Work Community and Family Education at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul, discusses technology education as a school subject. Lewis introduces pre-engineering and its magnet school conception, as well as wider adoption. 

This paper was developed by Dr. Yeh, Dr. Liao, and Joe Petrosky from the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT) and was presented at the 120th American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference and Exposition on June 24, 2013. The objective of the paper is to review the...

This 25-page report, published by the Arab Academy for Science and Technology, describes the design and construction of Brotta II, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). This report was created by the Invictus Company, a student group that participated in the 2021 MATE ROV competitions...

This lecture, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, demonstrates the use of the AC ammeter function of the B&K Precision 2831E digital multimeter. In the presentation, the ammeter function is used to "verify the anticipated current draw of a simple single phase AC circuit." The recording...
