In this activity, students will be able to observe and explain the increase in stiffness and strength in a composite structure as compared to the initial components. This resource, "Composites Sticks and Glue Activity" is included in Lesson 1 Intro to Materials Overview which is a part of Unit 03 Intro to Materials included in ASA - Course 2 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

This NASA video segment explores how Newton's third law of motion applies to aerospace. An instructor at NASA's National Test Pilot School defines the third law and explains how a jet engine works to move an aircraft forward. There is also a discussion about the four forces involved in flying an aircraft. This resource, "Newtons Third Law Video" is included in Lesson 4 Newton's Third Law Applied which is a part of Unit 04 Newton's Laws and Aerospace Application included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

This is an advanced subject in computer modeling and CAD CAM fabrication, with a focus on building large-scale prototypes and digital mock-ups within a classroom setting. Prototypes and mock-ups are developed with the aid of outside designers, consultants, and fabricators. Field trips and in-depth relationships with building fabricators demonstrate new methods for building design. The class analyzes complex shapes, shape relationships, and curved surfaces fabrication at a macro scale leading to new architectural languages, based on methods of construction.

This class investigates cognitive science and technology as it is applied to the industrial design process. The class introduces prototyping techniques and approaches for objective evaluation as part of the design process. Students practice evaluating products with mechanical and electronic aspects. Evaluation processes are applied to creating functioning smart product prototypes. This is a project oriented subject that draws upon engineering, aesthetic, and creative skills. It is geared toward students interested in creating physical products which encompass electronics and computers, aimed at including them in smart scenarios. Students in the class will present readings, learn prototyping skills, create a product prototype, and complete a publication style paper.

Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other.

This resource is a partial listing of functions used in the course. The resource , ''Python Built-in Functions (doc)'' included in "Lesson 6 Strings Lists and the For-Loop" is a part of "Unit 05 Python Programming" included in Health & Life Sciences HLS - Course 3.

In this experiment, students demonstrate the process of work hardening in a copper and explain the effects of work hardening in metals. This resource, "Work Hardening and Annealing of Copper Activity" is included in Lesson 3 Material Processing and Failure which is a part of Unit 03 Intro to Materials included in ASA - Course 2 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.
