Markets rise, Greece worry remains
June 29 - Wall Street rallied for a third day as Germany backs Greece's austerity vote, but investors say the chance of a sovereign default, though lower, remains. Conway Gittens reports.
3.4.4 Stress concentration at joint
The I-35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis in August 2007, resulting in at least 13 deaths, illustrates the importance of structural integrity. This unit looks at the investigation that followed the collapse of the Silver Bridge over the Ohio River in 1967 which demonstrates how the study of safe design and the assessment of components and structures under load is of increasing importance in engineering design.
Boiler Bytes: ev Grand Prix comes to Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Purdue University conducted the first Collegiate evGrandPrix May 7 as part of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's Emerging Tech Day.
Thirty teams from 10 universities were expected to compete on a course built on the Speedway grounds. Emerging Tech Day is part of the Speedway's 100th anniversary celebration. It is designed to continue IMS's legacy as an incubator and proving ground of automotive innovation.

Case Study video - a farmer in Mwingi, called Simon
The case study video of a farmer in Mwingi, called Simon, illustrates various agro-ecological issues. This video is part of the Farmers' Agribusiness training course which has been developed to help both farmers and farmer organisations. Its intention is to provide access to provide access to additional skills and knowledge that will allow farmers to move from a 'farm' to a 'firm'.
Just The Facts: United States Bill Of Rights
This very brief video provides some insights into a couple amendments such as the first. It is too short to provide much insight into cause and effect. Best used as an overview to help explain some concepts.
3.2 Business operations: function or process?
The management of processes or operations is the very essence of any kind of business enterprise, and it is critically important that they are designed and managed well. This course taster uses case studies and models to illustrate the importance of effective operations management and outlines the steps to preparing your own operations proposal.

Microelectronics has enabled designers of integrated circuits to exercise complete control over the electrical characteristics of each component they create. This unit will illustrate how such control is achieved and the various methods that can be applied in differing circumstances.
Next steps After completing this unit you may wish to study another OpenLearn Study Unit or find out more about this topic. Here are some suggestions:

How do different instruments produce the sounds we classify as music? How do we decide whether something – a piano, a vacuum cleaner – is actually a musical instrument? In this unit we investigate the way vibrations and sound waves are harnessed to create music.

Designed products surround us all and range from bus tickets to buildings. This unit focuses firmly on usability and the increasingly important phenomenon of people-centred design. It aims to inform consumers of design (i.e., all of us) about this crucial characteristic of design. The unit is derived from the Open University course T211 on Design and Designing, but as well as stimulating interest in areas of concern for producers of design it might also provide an introduction to engineering, ma
