Where in the Sphere?
Pre-Calculus introduces topics that become crucial to the continuum of topics of higher level math such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and beyond.
What are Semiconductors?
Students will create copper sulfate crystals, then develop a model at the molecular level to apply their observations to other substances. In doing so, students will learn about how semiconductors are produced, and be exposed to other industrial and commercial uses for these materials.
Modeling for Product Reliability
In this lesson series, students learn about the role of reliability engineering in product development and then engage in a math modeling experience using data related to reliability experiments from my fellowship at Facebook Reality Labs.
Modeling Power in Batteries with Linear Regressions
A fundamental aspect of how Deep Learning systems work is that they make predictions about how a function should fit some test dataset, evaluate the errors from that function to the test dataset, and modify that function to reduce the errors.
Introduction to Mathematical Modeling: “What is Math Good for Anyway?”
The goal of this ETP is to re-introduce students to mathematics through the lens of mathematical modeling, and reframe the relevance of uncertainty, contextualization in high school mathematics education.

Whirling in Orbit
Traditionally, the etching of silicon wafers is a guess and check process- the manufactures guess the depth of the features for a given design, produce the wafer, and check if the process was successful. This process of nanomanufacturing is wasteful.
Creating Title Blocks for Mechanical Drawing
In Engineering 115 we will study how to create title blocks with attributes. We will learn how to create a Layout or paper space. We will also learn how to place within the layout a view port to include in the model. We will adjust the scaling factor to reflect the actual scale of the model.

Math Modeling Reality Check
The professional development workshop described in this lesson plan focuses on ways in which modeling in the real world differs from traditional textbook "word problems." It exposes teachers to the complexity of modeling as a mathematical, scientific, and engineering practice, and simultaneously
