…student and show it in an unprecedentedly fine-grained timeline graph. A timeline graph may show how students went through different iterative steps while shaping their designs. For instance, did they…
…they could work on phones, allowing students to interact with them on multiple devices. Additionally, with an iOS and Android application created using Cordova, users could install the interactives and…
…students determine, for example, where a solar panel should be installed and which direction it should face. The video in this post shows how these analytic tools in Energy3D work….
…provide instantaneous feedback to students so that their design processes can be guided and informed by the scientific and engineering principles built in the software. Let’s use the investigation of…
…students who have little prior knowledge about the subject of design or the process of design to develop some sense of them — through practice. Instantaneous visualizations of the results…
…story lasted a year, and involved the first instance I have encountered of reverse geocaching. Put simply, Mikal turned the notion of geocaching — in which you go to a…
…environment through the components. For instance, the solar radiation that shines into a building through its windows are inputs; the heat transfer through its walls may be inputs or outputs…

…explore the effects of installing pollution control devices, such as scrubbers and catalytic converters, on power plants and cars. Students monitor the level of primary pollutants (brown line) and secondary…
…implemented in Energy3D. HSAT is probably more common than VSAT and TSAT and is probably easier to construct and install. In most cases, the rotation axis of a HSAT aligns…
Energy2D, an open-source, interactive energy simulation tool, is now available for free download. Install the first stable version of Energy2D as a desktop app and create high-quality simulations that run…
