…if we put solar panels on top of it? This estimate is key to convincing homeowners to install solar panels or the bank to finance it. You wouldn’t buy something…
…these problems can be nicely visualized in Energy3D so that people can immediately see them. Instant visual feedback in design time may be very useful to a designer (in fact,…
…and tailor them to their instructional objectives, student abilities and prior knowledge, and school context. For instance, teachers can include a discussion or activity to introduce their students to foundational…
The following are two Energy2D simulations that compare convection and conduction, which should run within this page if you have installed Java and Java applets are enabled with your browser….
…feasible to enumerate, a priori, all possible pathways for solving a specific problem. Given a tremendous number of possibilities, researchers can hardly find two identical instances in student data, posing…
…fields. Static equilibrium and dynamic time-based modeling SageModeler offers three approaches to system modeling: 1) model diagramming, 2) static equilibrium modeling, in which a change in any independent variable instantaneously…
…does not have a large south-facing side for installing solar panels. If you have no idea about this, the sales representatives from solar companies would probably tell you this based…
…1987 Heather Brasell’s dissertation from the University of Florida research compared traditional paper-and-pencil graphing methods with the instantaneous computer displays equipped with sensors. She found that students have a significant…
…are needed. Five years ago, we prototyped an Ethernet-enabled Arduino, which made sensors in the Web browser possible without installing any software. (See “Under the Hood: Streaming Arduino Data to…
…temperature and watch how the particles change behavior. For instance, if the particles are in an initial state of a solid (close together at a relatively low temperature), increasing the…
