This case study from the National Center for Women & Information Technology explains how instructors can implement pair programming in their computing courses, and shares how the University of California Santa Cruz used pair programming assignments to increase the retention of both female and male...

In this video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), viewers are introduced to the structure of DNA microarrays. Viewers will learn about the physical structure of an array, how it works by utilizing the DNA hybridization process, and how an array analysis is interpreted. This...

This 3-page white paper, written by Ned D. Young, discusses the differences between supply chain technology and supply chain management, by defining both concepts, and then describing their purposes. As it is defined in this paper, supply chain management involves "the design, planning, execution,...

This resource provides an introductory activity on how electrons move. Core concepts include the discovery of the electron, electric forces and fields, how an electron moves in an electric field, designing an electric field, magnetic fields and how an electron moves in a magnetic field. The...

Use of embryonic stem cells in research has been hotly debated for several years. This animation presents the basics on how stem cell lines are established. This animation from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Dolan DNA Learning Center presents how embryonic stem cell lines are made through a series...

Hybrid cars and other vehicles have been around for many years. This site treats the reader to information concerning a variety of different forms of alternative energy vehicles including the gasoline-electric hybrid car, diesel-electric hybrids and the differences between the series and parallel...

This interactive presentation, created by Terry Bartelt and hosted by the Electromechanical Digital Library, provides an explanation of how a metal detector functions. Most people take for granted this common piece of equipment, but the science behind its function is actually quite remarkable....

How Products Are Made is a website that explains and details the manufacturing process of a wide variety of products. Organized in seven "volumes," products are listed alphabetically. Each product article then details, step-by-step, the processes and procedures used in manufacturing. Articles also...

In this webinar, provided by the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education (CREATE), Gregory Nemet discusses how solar energy became a cheap model for low carbon innovation. Nemet also explains why energy transitions are hard. These transitions are difficult because people want...

This article written by Karim Nice explains what a Stirling engine is and how it works. "The Stirling engine is a heat engine that is vastly different from the internal-combustion engine in your car. A Stirling engine uses the Stirling cycle, which is unlike the cycles used in internal-combustion...
