This 12-page activity is provided by Edmonds Community College and is intended to build 3-D visualization skills. Students use a manual technique (manipulation of a solid object on a virtual platform) to build these skills. This activity includes a Table of Contents and the following sections:...

These presentation slides are provided by Edmonds Community College and are intended to use with the 3-D Spatial Visualization Skill Building for Additive Manufacturing activity. The slides include a blank KWLD Chart; a 2-D Cartesian Coordinate System image; a 3-D X, Y, Z-Axis diagram; a...

This learning activity introduces students to rapid prototyping and 3D printing in the classroom setting. Students use a UV sensitive monomer to make small three-dimensional objects and learn about the chemistry and physics of the process. This demonstration is intended for a high school audience....

This 26-page technical report, published by Kennesaw State University, describes the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) the 404 Engineering team created for the MATE ROV 2021 Competition. This competition is a global underwater robotics competition for STEM students. The competition includes Explorer,...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), introduces "various concepts associated with scale, and a comparison of the macro, micro and nano-scales." This module is divided into the following six units: Knowledge Probe (KP) or Pre-test, Comparison of...

This study, from the Women in Engineering Programs & Advocates Network, examined the efficacy of a female engineering outreach program called Women Engineers at the Beach. After participating in the program, 61.5% of female high school students performing at grade level in math and 90.1% of female...

This report, available as a free download from the National Academies Press, presents a framework for k-12 science education which "proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field." 4 main...

The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode of ATETV follows a non-traditional adult student as he returns to school to study wind energy technology, and examines water treatment technology for desalination. The video can be viewed...

This one-page description of the 4.0 Learning System is provided by the National Institute for Women in Trades, Technology and Science. This is "an easy-to-follow 3-step systematic framework that empowers students by enhancing their ability to learn principles and concepts." The core principle of...

This nine-page guide from Edmonds Community College provides a laboratory activity using lead-tin solder as a model material to demonstrate creep in metals. This activity "reinforces the concepts of stress and strain," and shows students the "role of stress in determining the creep rate in a metal...
