Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to photolithography, "the process of copying a high-resolution pattern onto multiple substrates." During the module learning activity (Option A) students "replicate key parts of the...

Module Description:  This learning module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), "provides an overview of the most common photolithography process used in the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), photolithography terminology and basic concepts." These concepts are...

Course Description This hybrid and dual credit course was created by the Developing Photonics Education in Iowa's Rural Secondary Schools project at Indian Hills Community College. This course and supporting materials were created to "increase the number of photonics technicians in the U.S. via...

These professional development materials are related to a hybrid, dual-credit course that was created by the Developing Photonics Education in Iowa's Rural Secondary schools project. This course and supporting materials were created to "increase the number of photonics technicians in the U.S. via...

Description: This collection, made available by the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education (OP-TEC), features interviews with five photonics technicians. The technicians are shown briefly describing their careers and each video features statistics on laser and optics technicians careers...

The Pichia pastoris - HSA Core Production System laboratory manual is 108 pages; it includes standard operating procedures, batch records, and competencies lists related...

Course Description: This 2-credit course explores the basics of programmable logic controllers (PLC) and human machine interfaces (HMI), as well as how to replace and download a program to get a machine up and running. Through the course, students also learn how to perform minor programming changes...

Lesson Description: This lesson is the third of nine lessons from the Vocational Math: Contextualized for Construction course that was taught at Madison Area Technical College. During this lesson, students work in groups to measure plywood thickness and use that measurement to do calculations (on...

In this activity, students will gain an "understanding of a commonly published diagram of global carbon pools and fluxes. Students create a scaled 3-D visual of carbon pools and net fluxes between pools with anthropogenic influences." Targeted at middle school through undergraduate students (grades...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enables researchers to produce millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence in approximately two hours. This automated process bypasses the need to use bacteria for amplifying DNA. This animation from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Dolan DNA Learning Center presents...
