This is a two-day math lesson where students will play the role of Cisco’s CFO and decide whether building a new campus makes financial sense for the company.
At Lockheed Martin, I worked in the FBM Avionics department to understand the current systems and processes related to QNOTE closures. I was able to meet a myriad of engineers, technicians and other LM members who allowed me to see a glimpse of their work experience.
Students use real city data to create tables and scatter plots, calculate trends and balance points, and analyze the relationship between monthly water use and temperature, applying math skills to a real-world water management scenario.
The normal curve model (density curve) is a topic in statistics that is very vital to understand, to be able to succeed in grasping the concepts of probability models, which is a heavy focus in the AP statistics course.
In the Dynamic Design Lab at Stanford, their self-driving race cars collect over 8000 pieces of data every second which comes to almost 1,000,000 pieces of data per lap on the track.
This two to three day lesson allow a students to create a hypothesis on what makes a good Algebra student, then analyze data in order to see if their hypothesis holds.
When thinned to two-dimensions, materials demonstrate unique optical and electrical characteristics that fall under the purview of condensed matter physics. The process of thinning bulk materials is called exfoliation with graphene being the most documented.
In this lesson students will apply knowledge of wave interference, light, refraction, reflection, transmission and conservation of energy in order to understand principles of thin film interference as they are applied in the development of anti-reflective coating for optical devices.
Solar energy can be part of a mixture of renewable energy sources used to meet the need for electricity. Engineers have developed technologies to convert solar energy to electrical power efficiently using photovoltaic cells (also called solar cells).
