3.1 Codes of conduct One of the principles of the European Union Emissions Trading System discussed by Schultz and Williamson (2005) is that an organisation accepts responsibility for the performance of their suppliers. In an age where multinational corporations are able to reduce the production costs of their goods and services by offshoring it to whoever can meet the specification at the lowest cost, what responsibility do they have for the conditions under which production actually occurs? One of the fir
A mathematical muse
This unit explores reasons for studying mathematics, practical applications of mathematical ideas and aims to help you to recognise mathematics when you come across it. It introduces the you to the graphics calculator, and takes you through a series of exercises from the Calculator Book, Tapping into Mathematics With the TI-83 Graphics Calculator. The unit ends by asking you to reflect on the process of studying mathematics. In order to complete this unit you will need to have obtained a Texas I

Compiler
We present an overview of language processing systems such as compilers and interpreters, which are basic software systems in many computer systems. We then explain details of compiler components such as lexical analysis, syntax analysis, and code generation. For syntax analysis, we introduce techniques such as recursive descent parsing and LR parsing. We also cover tools for compiler generation such as lex and yacc.

The Genetics of Eye Color in Drosophila melanogaster
This exercise has been designed to help first-year biology students understand Mendelian inheritance. The pterin (red) eye pigments of wild type and mutant strains are separated using a simple paper chromatography system, and the patterns are analyzed to determine where the metabolic pathway is blocked in each mutant. Crosses of these strains are followed for two generations to provide data that students analyze to determine the mode of inheritance of each mutation, as well as the relationship b
ESD.83 Doctoral Seminar in Engineering Systems (MIT)
ESD.83 Doctoral Seminar in Engineering Systems examines the core theory and contextual applications of the emerging field of Engineering Systems. There is a focus on doctoral–level analysis of scholarship on key concepts such as complexity, uncertainty, fragility, and robustness, as well as a critical look at the historical roots of the field and related areas such as systems engineering, systems dynamics, agent modeling, and systems simulations. Contextual applications of the course range
Make an Alarm!
After reading the story "Dear Mr. Henshaw" by Beverly Cleary, students will build an alarm system for something in the classroom, as the main character Leigh does to protect his lunchbox from thieves. Students will learn about alarms and use their creativity to create an alarm system to protect their lockers, desk, or classroom door. Note: this activity can also be done without reading "Dear Mr. Henshaw".

After instructions on what computer programs will be needed, you can simulate chemical processes related to electrochemistry, acid-base chemistry and stoichiometry.
Domaine: Science des matériaux, mécanique, génie mécanique
L\'enseignement présente les concepts fondamentaux de la Mécanique des milieux continus qui sont mis en oeuvre sur des exemples simples en Mécanique des fluides et en Mécanique des solides.
La démarche se concentre sur les milieux continus tridimensionnels et sur les notions de contraintes et de déformations, présentées en quatre étapes :
