Building An Undergraduate Cohort In High Altitude Ballooning, Mike Davis
Building An Undergraduate Cohort In High Altitude Ballooning, Mike Davis
2017 Academic High Altitude Conference
City Colleges of Chicago (CCC), in partnership with DePaul University and the Illinois Space Grant Consortium, has recently been awarded a grant from NASA to develop a research and education program in high-altitude ballooning. The project builds on the Chicago Initiative for Research and Recruitment in the Undergraduate Sciences (CIRRUS) model of undergraduate research and community college/four year college collaborative projects, a successful NSF-funded collaboration between DePaul and CCC. The project has four goals: (1) initiate a year-round undergraduate research program to recruit promising community college students into the STEM disciplines, (2) provide tuition support and fellowships to support student …
Investigations Of Synthetic Fuels: S8 And Sasol Ipk To Determine The Possibility Of Alternate Fuels In The Aerospace Industry, Scott M. Dyke
Investigations Of Synthetic Fuels: S8 And Sasol Ipk To Determine The Possibility Of Alternate Fuels In The Aerospace Industry, Scott M. Dyke
GS4 Georgia Southern Student Scholars Symposium
Investigations of Synthetic Fuels: S8 and Sasol IPK to Determine the Possibility of Operation as Alternate Fuels in the Aerospace Industry
Name: Scott Dyke
Co-Authors: Martin Muinos, Julia Heimberger, Dr. Valentin Soloiu,
An ever-growing society that becomes more and more dependent on a finite energy source will eventually exceed its supply. Fossil fuel quantities are continuously decreasing and new solutions are needed. According to the United States Department of Transportation, over 10 billion gallons of airline fuels have been consumed in each of the past 15 years with some years over 13 billion gallons. In the meantime, fuel costs have …

Nanoscale Thin Films, Rob Snyder
Nanoscale Thin Films, Rob Snyder
Nanotechnology Teacher Summer Institutes
An activity that makes a nanoscale film of oleic acid on water. The student will
-
Learn about Ben Franklin’s observations of a thin film that had a nanoscale dimension.
-
Create a very thin film with a very dilute solution of oleic acid.
-
Use data you collect to determine if you made a thin film with a nanoscale dimension that formed on the surface of water.
-
Learn about the molecular interactions that resulted in the formation of the thin film.
-
Be introduced to the Big Ideas of Nanoscale Self-Assembly

Powers Of Ten: From Meters To Nanometers And Beyond, Rob Snyder
Powers Of Ten: From Meters To Nanometers And Beyond, Rob Snyder
Nanotechnology Teacher Summer Institutes
The goal of this activity is to guide students toward an understanding of nanoscale dimensions by:
-
Making a number of measurements using meter sticks, magnifiers, microscopes and spectrometers so students can make observations and generate their own data.
-
Using scientific notation to compare the measurements they have made with the dimensions of very small structures
