Sustainability at Missouri State
Why is sustainability important? What is Missouri State doing to be a sustainable campus? How can students be sustainable?
Students and staff from environmental management, facilities management, dining services, residence life and services and the student government association answer these questions and discuss what sustainability means to the campus community.
Advanced Solid State Physics
Th course Advanced Solid State Physics is about the electronic properties of materials and contains lectures about scattering, transport in metals, phonons and superconductivity.
State of play
Can politicians do enough to avert the threatened financial meltdown? In this podcast Dr Steven Fielding weighs up Britain's chances and the current political state of play.

Solid State Physics
In the electrical engineering, solid-state materials and the properties play an essential role. A thorough understanding of the physics of metals, insulators and semiconductor materials is essential for designing new electronic devices and circuits. After short introduction of the IC fabrication process, the course starts with the crystallography. This will be followed by the basic principle of the quantum mechanics, the sold-state physics, band-structure and the relation with electrical propert
Snow vs. Water
Engineers work in many fields associated with precipitation. Engineers study glaciers to better understand their dates of formation and current demise. They deal with issues of pollution transport and water yield, and they monitor reservoirs and dams to prevent flooding.
Power, Work and the Waterwheel
Waterwheels are devices that generate power and do work. Students construct a waterwheel using two-liter bottles, dowel rods and index cards, and calculate the power created and work done by them.
Work and Power: Waterwheel
Investigating a waterwheel illustrates to students the physical properties of energy. They learn that the concept of work, force acting over a distance, differs from power, which is defined as force acting over a distance over some period of time. Students create a model waterwheel and use it to calculate the amount of power produced and work done.
Solar Power
In this activity, students learn how engineers use solar energy to heat buildings by investigating the thermal storage properties of some common materials: sand, salt, water and shredded paper. Students then evaluate the usefulness of each material as a thermal storage material to be used as the thermal mass in a passive solar building.
Wind Power
In this activity, students develop an understanding of how engineers use wind to generate electricity. They will build a model anemometer to better understand and measure wind speed.
Water Power
In this activity, students observe a model of a waterwheel to investigate the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine into work. Students work as engineers to create a model for a new waterwheel while considering resources, such as time and materials, in their design. Students also discuss and explore the characteristics of hydropower plants.

5.4 - Lab 5: Optimization and Low Power Modes
In this lab, we will learn the basics of optimizing code intended for embedded systems.
5.3 - Reducing Power Consumption
In this section of the lab we will focus on how power can be conserved using hardware and software.

2-D Steady State Heat Conduction - Theoretical II from the course Heat Transfer
This course covers transport processes of mass, momentum, and energy from a macroscopic view with emphasis both on understanding why matter behaves as it does and on developing practical problem solving skills. The course is divided into four parts: introduction, conduction, convection, and radiation.
