TALAT Lecture 2102.03: The Transmission Housing of an Inboard-Outboard Engine, Special Study: Castin
This lecture offers an example of product development. It imparts knowledge about different ways of casting aluminium and criteria for selecting casting methods; the heat treatment of aluminium; corrosion-proofing and surface treatment of cast alloys used in a saline environment and choice of alloy. It provides insight into how to develop a product using the general specificiations and the interaction between form, material and processing chain and ?the importance of being thoroughly familiar wi
Environmental Risk Assessment - Approaches, Experiences and Information Sources
This website provides access to a report from the European Environment Agency that gives a broad overview of approaches and experiences on how to assess ecological and human information on health risks. The chapters are targeted to different users such as industry, scientists and policy makers. Links to information sources, organizations, software models, EU legislation, and publications are also provided.
1.017 Computing and Data Analysis for Environmental Applications (MIT)
This subject is a computer-oriented introduction to probability and data analysis. It is designed to give students the knowledge and practical experience they need to interpret lab and field data. Basic probability concepts are introduced at the outset because they provide a systematic way to describe uncertainty. They form the basis for the analysis of quantitative data in science and engineering. The MATLAB® programming language is used to perform virtual experiments and to analyze real-wo
Environmental Garbage and Recycling Education for Kids
Children appreciate being educated on how picking up garbage and recycling will help the environment. Start children on the recycling path with tips from an experienced elementary school teacher.
The Engine That Drives the Earth
What drives the movement of tectonic plates? In this session, participants learn how plates interact at plate margins, how volcanoes work, and the story of Hawaii's formation.Â

Environmental education has been one of the main strategies since the founding of the WWF and contributes significantly to the achievement of its objectives.
The Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics examines the ethical issues confronting agriculture, food production and environmental change, such as intensive agricultural production methods, animal welfare, the use of biotechnolog
Swiss farmers today participate in a large number of environmental programs and have many guidelines and requirements to meet. This fact sheet allows an overall assessment of the environmental performance of the the own agricultural enterprise. By simple numerical characteristi
The Authors@Google program welcomed Rainn Wilson to Google's New York office to discuss his book, 'Soul Pancake".
"Have you ever wondered what happens after you die? If you only had one hour left to live, how would you spend it? How do your thoughts affect reality? How does knowing the intention behind a work of art affect your experience of it?
Rainn Wilson, best known for his deft portrayal as Dwight on NBC's "The Office," teamed up with his friends and dares to discuss life's biggest ques
This online workbook was developed for use as a companion to the Environmental Education Materials: Guidelines for Excellence. It provides recommendations for selecting, evaluating, and producing quality environmental education lesson plans, curricula, and other instructional materials. Key characteristics ...
This site contains a list of Ecology/Environmental Science projects, or case modules, created by Lifelines OnLine workshops (LLOL) participants. These cases are grouped by topic. Most cases are still undergoing field testing and may be updated. The user can link to each case on the list.
This website is the homepage of the St. Olaf interdisciplinary course, Global Climate Change. The course focuses on how and why Earth's climate has changed throughout its history and how it is likely to change in the near future. The course draws from geology, chemistry, meteorology, oceanography, and policy studies. Much of the science involved in this topic is cutting-edge, so quite a bit of the reading will be from scientific journals. Users can follow links to a PDF syllabus and assignments
This secondary module uses biodiversity as a window through which secondary students investigate the environment. It permits educators and students to step back from specific issues and species and to examine broader concepts and larger connections—not just biological, but p
In this unit, students explore the various roles of environmental engineers, including: environmental cleanup, water quality, groundwater resources, surface water and groundwater flow, water contamination, waste disposal and air pollution. Specifically, students learn about the factors that affect water ...
The goal is for the students to understand the environmental design considerations required when generating electricity. The electric power that we use every day at home and work is generated by a variety of power plants. Power plants are engineered to utilize the conversion of one form of energy to another. The main components of a power plant are an input source of energy that is used to turn large turbines, and a method to convert the turbine rotation into electricity. The input sources of en
Examines health issues, scientific understanding of causes and possible future approaches to control the major environmental health problems in industrialized and developing countries.
During this class we will be discussing some of the problems arising from poor facilities in many developing countries.
While the government declared an end to the oil spill at the Macondo well on September 19, 2010, research into the causes and impacts of the Gulf disaster is ongoing. At the kickoff panel of a three-part symposium, three scientists discuss what they are learning about the disposition of the nearly 5 million gallons of oil, as well as gas and c
