  • Bridging Health and Food Science to Electronic Engineering
    AC 2008-494: BRIDGING HEALTH AND FOOD SCIENCE TO ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING Massoud Moussavi, California Polytechnic State University Page 13.257.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Bridging Health and Food Science To Electronic Engineering ABSTRACT: The primary focus of most engineering programs is on teaching students the technical aspects of the field without much emphasis on how to incorporate that knowledge in real world situations. Technological advancements in today’s society are bringing many fields of study (which previously had little or no correlation) closer together. In order to help our students become well- rounded engineers for the future, it is important to bridge the gap between traditional engineering curriculums and non-technical fields and, as a result, create an engineering discipline that is more holistic. In line with this view, the two following issues from the health and food science fields were investigated in the laboratory section of the Photonics course: 1. Does the color of glass make a difference in bottled beer quality? If so, which color of glass provides tastier and fresher beer? 2. Does this apply to other consumer beverages such as milk? If so, which type of plastic milk container keeps milk fresher and healthier? This paper intends to show how these two experiments were developed and outline the results of the experiment. INTRODUCTION: The Electronic and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) curriculum at ……………. University has a heavy emphasis on “hands on” laboratory experiments and projects. Every technical course, either core or elective, has a laboratory section that complements it. Photonics is an upper division elective course focused on fiber-optics/light theory and their applications.

The activities enable teachers, students in grades 4 through 8, and families to begin thinking about these issues in relationship to their own lives. The activities are designed to give children a sense of their own power, to bring about change, and to give teachers flexibility to modify, adjust, and fit the activities into existing social studies, mathematics, science, fine arts, health, and language arts curricula. The unit has been correlated to the Indiana Curriculum Proficiency Guide and each level in the unit is a foundation for the next with responsibility, citizenship, stewardship, and environmental issues addressed at each level. Names and addresses of several organizations related to litter, recycling, and waste management are included. Contains 16 references.

Caption: Figure 1. Student stretching plastic Image file name: Student_Plastic_Image_1.jpg Source/Rights: Copyright © 2010Peter James Baker. Used with permission Grade Level 4 (3-5) Activity Dependency None Time Required 40 minutes Group Size 4 to 5 Expendable Cost per Group $5 Summary Students are presented with a brief history of plastics and examine the abundance of different types of plastics found in our day-to-day lives. They will be introduced to the mechanical properties of plastics which make them useful for industrial applications including: stress/strain relationship. These physical properties allow for plastics to be fabricated into different products. Students will be able to recognize the different roles that plastics play in our lives and the effects that plastics have on our environment. Finally, the students will act like industrial engineers and based on the cost and physical properties, they will determine which plastics will be the most cost effective for given applications. Engineering Connection Arguably plastics, as a material, have had a greater influence on our daily lives than any other synthetic compound. Plastics provide physical properties which are far superior to traditional materials; plastics are able to keep liquids cold longer then metal or glass, they are less breakable and generally lighter.

  • Put the Action Into Social Action Green Tip #9: Use Houseplants to Reduce Indoor Pollution at Home
    PUT THE ACTION INTO SOCIAL ACTION GREEN TIP #9: USE HOUSEPLANTS TO REDUCE INDOOR POLLUTION AT HOME The following tips appeared in an article by Rebecca Jeffreys in Eco-Age, February 18, 2019. Some might say that a plant makes a house a home. Besides being a great addition to any corner of a room, it’s more sustainable than a bunch of flowers—providing you look after it correctly. Often, however, people buy house plants simply for aesthetic reasons, overlooking the many benefits that come with them. Although we think that the four walls of our home protect us from the pollution, indoor air has actually been shown to hold harsh pollutants too. Many of them come from furniture, building materials and cleaning products. Research has indicated that certain house plants act as a natural filter to indoor pollution. In fact, there are over 50 houseplant types that remove pollutants and gases. The benefits don’t stop there; plants have also shown to lower stress levels at home and in the workplace and, if that’s not enough, they help you sleep better, they help fight colds, they help you focus and they help improve your wellbeing. Here are the top 10 plants that can improve your home’s air quality: 1. Areca Palm Areca Palms filter out harsh chemicals, including acetone, xylene and toluene, found in products such as nail varnish, detergents, wooden furniture, poor ventilation, gasoline, cosmetics, etc. 2. Philodendron The Philodendron purifies air by removing formaldehyde, which occurs naturally in building materials and home furnishings and becomes threatening through long-term exposure by inhalation.

  • How Accessible Is Food & Drink Packaging?
    How accessible is food & drink packaging? Survey highlights from Industry Perception VS Consumer Reality Accessible Design Division Arthritis Australia’s Accessible Design Division works toward educating and providing decision-making tools to industry and government at a design and procurement level, so that the needs and abilities of the broader community are understood. Accessible packaging is a focus area for the Division. The Division works with its research partner Georgia Tech Research Institute’s Principal Research Scientist, Dr Brad Fain, who has conducted world-leading research in accessibility. This report was prepared by Alexandra Brayshaw Accessible Packaging Researcher at the Accessible Design Division, who undertook this research for part of her Diploma In Packaging Technology. For any questions about the surveys results or about packaging accessibility testing and other services, please contact: Alexandra Brayshaw Accessible Packaging Researcher Accessible Design Division | Arthritis Australia (02) 9518 4441 | Direct: 02 8570 2908 E: [email protected] W: arthritisaustralia.com.au/accessible-design-division Images: Flaticon Basic License 2018. Introduction Do consumers find all types of food and drink packaging hard-to-open? This is the question two surveys conducted about the consumers experience with packaging aimed to discover. Hard-to-open packaging has previously been associated with an increased risk of injury1 and consumer frustration2. This study was conducted to explore which food and drink packaging consumers currently found hard or easy-to-open and if the packaging industry’s perception matched this reality. The first survey was completed by 411 consumers who shared their experiences with packaging, both through answering multiple-choice questions and sharing personal feedback (which was an optional part of the study).

    Homemade Toys and Props choosykids.com HOW TO MAKE A SIX-PACK NET 1. Save your plastic six pack beverage holders. 2. Place them end-to-end and tie together with yarn until the desire length is met. Most nets are two holders “high,” however you can vary this to meet your needs. 3. Weave cord string through the top row of holes to add stability. 4. Tie pieces of cord to the last hole on both ends of the bottom row of holes. 5. Attach to chairs, wall, coat racks, etc., and play catch with light weight beach balls or covered balloons (see page 3). 6. Use paper plate paddles (see page 21) or plastic paddles for hitting light weight balls or covered balloons over the net. Page 2 of 33 Choosykids.com HOW TO MAKE A COVERED BALLOON Because balloons are so lightweight, they stay in the air longer than any other type of ball. Therefore, lightweight balls and balloons are appropriate for learning catching and striking skills. Recognizing the choking hazards of playing with balloons, we recommend that you only use balloons that are covered to contain the possibility of broken pieces. 1. Use pantyhose or plastic grocery bags to cover each balloon. 2. Use yarn to tie the end of the plastic bag or the end of the pantyhose to contain the balloon. 3. Cut off any extra part of the plastic bag or pantyhose. Page 3 of 33 Choosykids.com HOW TO MAKE A CHOOSY WINDOW SHADE TARGET Use a standard size window shade with the appropriate mounting brackets 1.
