Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), serves as an introduction to sensors, one component found in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). This module is related to two other modules that cover components in MEMS, transducers and actuators. These...

Module Description: This learning module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), serves as an introduction to statistical process control (SPC). "SPC is a set of tools used for continuous improvement and the assurance of quality in an active manufacturing process. This learning...

In this 11-page activity provided by AgrowKnowledge students apply simple statistical measurements, make predictions based on data, collect and organize data, and learn the basic concept of probability. This activity discusses the importance of statistics to scientists and includes the following...

This interactive lesson from SpaceTEC's National Aerospace Technical Education Center presents an overview of the aerospace workplace. It includes videos discussing topics in the aerospace field including the history of rockets and space pioneers, the principles of rocketry and orbital dynamics,...

This activity from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC) explores invasive species. The activity asks students to look into one invasive species and record details about their native habitat, diet, how and why the species was introduced, and more. Students then create an...

This resource, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), is an animation that shows how mass affects implantation. The magnetic force of the ions can be compared to a pinball machine with three different masses. If the same impulse is applied to each ball, only the one with...

In this lesson from The Lane Community College MAPS GIS program, students will find cities in the United States that are of similar size to Eugene, OR and compare attributes such as crime rate, land area, etc. using box and whisker plots. Prior to the lesson, the instructor will use a computer and...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, introduces students to the difficulty to of measuring at the nanoscale. Accuracy and precision are the most important principles or measuring at such a small scale, and with the growing demand for nanotechnology careers, an...
