Introducing engineering

...chemistry (see Engineering with atoms ). Engineering with atoms When chemistry is applied as a means to an end, where that end is a product with a function, it can be thought of as engineering with atoms. Clearly chemistry is large-scale engineering, and not one atom at a time. The chemical reactions involved often progress without any intervention from humans, indeed...

...chemistry and analytical sciences; and environment, Earth and ecosystem sciences. Compare and contrast all four (or at least two) of the audio interviews to explore where their perspectives are similar and different. To this end, you should listen to each of the interviews more than once, and consider the following questions. There is a box beneath the audio clips where...

An introduction to Open Educational Resources (OER)

...chemistry, philosophy. This is not just about online courseware. It's really revolutionising how we think about learning, and how we think about teaching. We make learning environments, and learning environments include what a student might do with the computer. Speaker 1 Worrying is discouraging. Speaker 2 Worrying is discouraging.

Introduction to computational thinking

...Chemistry, physics, economics … Timing: 6 minutes Watch the following video. In chemistry computational methods, computational concepts have been used to actually invent new molecular structures that would have desired chemical properties. In physics, (this is one of my favourite examples), I am going to labour on this a little bit in quantum computing. There is a very...
