Energy Audit
In this lesson from Energy is Everything, students will explore energy efficiency by learning to read an electric meter, touring their school campus to evaluate energy-efficiency and discuss their findings.
Designing Fluids to Solve Real World Problems
This lesson focuses on the engineering design process, linking it to the research conducted at the Shaqfeh lab at Stanford University, which is investigating the properties of fluids, specifically how they apply to de-wetting surfaces, and designing a new fluid for specific purposes.
I’m Sensing a Pattern Here: Structure-Function Relationship of Materials
One of the core ideas of material science is that structure dictates function. The macroscopic properties which arise from a material’s molecular composition aid in determining its potential applications.
