This video from the CyberWatch Center presents a resume writing and job interviewing tips workshop. The workshop was created by Professor Michael Burt of Prince George's Community College. The material presented here would be useful for students in a variety of disciplines. Flash is required to view...

The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode of ATETV looks at Architectural Technology, Rapid Prototyping, and Geospatial Technology programs. The video shows the amount of real world experience the students obtain, as well as...

This 23-page report, published by Singapore American School, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Crimson team for the Ranger Class of the 2022 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to...

Created by Chris Jossart of the Wisconsin Online Resource Center, this is an interactive object, in which learners follow six steps for analyzing a process in a manufacturing setting. This activity includes a drag-and-drop exercise and text boxes where learners post their ideas.

Module Description: This Cross-Linked Polymers module was created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link). "This module allows students to investigate forces and interactions at the molecular scale by mixing different liquids with a cross-linked polymer." Science concepts covered in...

This paper, by W. J. Haynie, III, Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education at North Carolina State University, studies interactions between male and female students in technology education. Methodology, findings, and considerations are presented. 

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan for students learning about polymers. The class will be introduced to the concepts and vocabulary of polymers with simple models. Cheese puffs and Cheetos will be used to create simulations of polymer chains....

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form. The laboratory exercise uses Styrofoam balls and toothpicks to construct the packing configurations that metals form. The lesson includes a step by step...

This animation, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), "illustrates the crystal growth of silicon using a seed crystal (or unit cell) positioned to the (100) plane. The silicon crystal grows into a large ingot which is sliced into silicon wafers. To verify the (100) plane of...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), introduces "the science of crystallography and its importance to microtechnology." This module is divided into the following six units: Knowledge Probe (KP), Primary Knowledge (PK), Growing Crystals - Hot Ice...
