1.1 Safe design
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.

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'.
SeaWiFS Land Views on a Globe
By monitoring the color of reflected light via satellite, scientists can determine how successfully plant life is photosynthesizing. A measurement of photosynthesis is essentially a measurement of successful growth, and growth means successful use of ambient carbon. Until now, scientists have only had a continuous record of photosynthesis on land. But following three years of continual data collected by the SeaWiFS instrument, NASA has gathered the first record of photosynthetic productivity in
1.2.10 Key points Diagrams can be helpful in: understanding a situation; analysing a situation; communicating with others about that analysis; planning to deal with a situation, both logically and creatively; and implementing, monitoring and evaluating those plans. They are therefore used at different times and in different ways within the same investigation and many investigative meth
1.2.9 Reading diagrams: questioning what they say With each of these diagrams and others we are trying to read there is another set of more searching questions we can ask: What is the purpose of the diagram, i.e. what is it aiming to tell us? How is the information imparted? What assumptions does it make about our ability to understand it? What are we expected to remember from it? How successful is

Utah Park Brochure
You have been asked to create a brochure for one of Utah's many state or national parks to advertise to potential visitors.
4 Excitation
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.
AE CS5.5: 3D Focus and Stereoscopic Convergence
An oft-overlooked issue in stereoscopic production is how the point of convergence relates to the viewing plane. Chris Meyer demonstrates adding 3D depth of field blur to the equation to create more realistic, easier-to-view scenes.
11.1 What are they?
Computer crashes are often the result of viruses, worms or Trojans as unfortunately some internet users want to cause havoc or vandalise your computer. This unit provides a guide to the downsides of living with the Net. Advice on how to deal with these dangers is provided and security issues like spyware and adware are explained. The unit also deals with protecting children online, and provides links to various helpful websites which deal with the problems raised.

Learning languages and finding out about other countries can be fun, as well as useful, and this unit is an introduction to the differences in culture and language about which we all need to be aware. There are 10 independent sections: any selection of them can be studied in any order. Some are about why knowledge of other languages and cultures can be important; others are about what it’s like to study a foreign language or to have a career using a foreign language. This unit is aimed at seco

Although intended for third or fourth year students in physiology, the exercises are adaptable to first or second year zoology and biology courses. Blood and tissue samples are easy to obtain without sacrificing the animal and the placement of electrodes for chronic recording of gill bailer and heart beats is relatively easy.
