Measurement uncertainty and error propagation
This set of lessons aims to teach students about error in measurement, how to quantify uncertainty, propagation of uncertainty, and using the slope of the line of best fit.
Energy use in electronic devices: Why it's an issue, and what we can do about it? An introduction to energy, estimation, and engineering
The Fan research group in the Applied Nanophotonics Laboratory at Stanford focuses on the development of high performance and compact electromagnetic devices, combining new developments in materials science with new concepts in device and system design to produce new electromagnetic hardware.

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.

Space, Time and Scale
We usually navigate our worlds using limited “tools” like our eyes, hands, feet, and ears. As such we typically surround ourselves with object sizes that are within 3-4 orders of magnitude to our own bodies and participate in events that typically take seconds, maybe hours.
