Re-inventing the Nation's Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt), in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford, studies stormwater collection. In the water unit in Environmental Science, we study water resources and water pollution.
The goal of this ETP is to help students develop a greater ability to form arguments from evidence found in texts by evaluating a variety of evidence claims about alternative sources of water.
The main objective of this lesson is to enable students to practice the engineering design process and recognize different actions as part of specific steps in the design process.
The goal of this ETP is to prepare students to equitably engage in mathematically rigorous group discussions. Using roles, sentence starters, and scaffolded activities, students will develop their communication skills with a focus on questioning in the context of a geometry classroom.
This lesson series asks students to use a simulation applet for electrodialytic desalination to explore the functional relationships between various engineering design parameters and output measures of practical interest.
Linear relationships and functions are modeled using scatter plots and linear regression (line of best fit) in order to determine a function that best describes the data.
The Gratta group is working on building a detector for neutrino interactions in liquid xenon. This phase of the project involves designing, building and testing a prototype detector as a proof-of-concept.
Quantifying the sedimentation velocity (terminal velocity) of a spherical particle in a liquid is of importance because it relates to areas in industry that process and transport suspensions of particles.
The recently adopted Next Generation Science Standards include both content and engineering standards. In order to encourage engineering thinking and design skills, a current adaptation lab was reworked to add an engineering component. Give Me a Beak!
