Running and Interpreting Tests and Troubleshooting
By engaging in a real engineering design challenge, students will be able to experience a high-stakes competition to solve their challenge through troubleshooting.
Collection
Semiconductors
Components of a Cell Phone
Students will learn about elements on the periodic table, including ones instrumental to semiconductors, and how they are used to make electronic devices work.
The Silicon in SIlicon Valley
Students will explore the properties of metalloids and explain why silicon is the most commonly used element in semiconductors.
Let's go Solar!
Students will learn how solar cells are manufactured and how they capture energy, as well as how to angle a solar panel to capture the most amount of energy possible.
Introduction to Semiconductor Processing
Students will learn the lifecycle of a semiconductor, from a silicon ingot to a microchip that can be installed in a complex electronic device.
Code For Change: What is a Data Center
This video is part of the "Code For Change" unit, Lesson 4: "The Internet", of the Cybersecurity Career Awareness Project (“C-CAP”) curriculum video series.
Automating our Lives
Students will use systems design to propose ideas for using semiconductor automation systems to improve their communities.
Matrices and Semiconductors
Students will use semiconductors to perform mathematical operations which helps to solve their matrices.
Transition to Electric Cars
Students will investigate how a switch to electric vehicles will affect climate change, and if the costs incurred will be low enough to convince the average consumer that it is a worthwhile investment.
