Automotive Electrical Systems: Ohm's Law Practice Problems #1
By Andrew Rinke, Patrick Hoppe
Learners review Ohm's Law and then work 12 problems to help them apply the law to automotive electrical systems. In each of the problems, students are given two of the three variables (voltage, resistance, or current) and are asked to solve for the third.
AC Capacitor: A Water Tank Analogy
By Roger Brown
In this animated lesson, students read an analogy comparing water in a "special" water tank to the current "flow" through a capacitor.

Plumbing Sizing Activity: Assigning WSFUs and Pipe Size to the Water Distribution System
By Randy Lorge
The learner assigns water supply fixture units and pipe sizes to a water distribution system using the Wisconsin Plumbing Code and a uniform pressure loss worksheet.
Lean/Six Sigma Culture
By Kaye Krueger
Learners read about the characteristics of a lean/six sigma culture.
Nonverbal Communication
By Barbara Liang, Andrea Krabbe
Learners read about nonverbal communication. In a drag-and-drop exercise, they evaluate photos of people interacting and determine if the behaviors shown interfere with communication or enhance it.
Reading a P&ID Loop
By Terry Bartelt
Learners follow steps for reading a P&ID diagram of a closed-loop circuit.
Excel: Rectangular to Polar Conversion for the Phase Angle in Radians
By Patrick Hoppe
The conversion from rectangular to polar mode phase angle in radians is demonstrated in Excel.
Barriers to Critical Thinking: Use of Language
By Therese Nemec
Learners examine how language can interfere with clear communication. They select examples of ambiguity, assuring expressions, doublespeak euphemisms, jargon, emotive content, false implications, meaningless comparisons, and vagueness. In an interactive exercise, learners identify ways to overcome these barriers.
Veterinary Antiparasitic Drugs
By Laura Lien
In this interactive object, learners sort veterinary antiparasitic medications into categories.

Through Arc Seam Tracking (TAST)
Robotic welding is revolutionizing welder safety, efficiency, and technique. Knowing how to program a robotic welder is key in this ever-changing industry. In this module you’ll explore what Through-Arc Seam Tracking (TAST) is, discover how it works, and see it applied on the job.
Barriers to Critical Thinking: Psychological and Sociological Pitfalls
Learners examine the psychological and sociological barriers that interfere with clear communication. They select examples of ad hominem fallacy, bandwagon fallacy, emotional appeals, red herrings, irrelevant appeals to authority, suggestibility and conformity, “poisoning the well’, and “shoehorning.” In an interactive exercise, learners identify ways to overcome these barriers.
Analyze a Part Drawing
In this interactive object, learners answer 25 questions regarding part or assembly drawings. The basic areas of blueprint reading are covered.
Op Amps 2: The Non-Inverting Amplifier
By Todd Van De Hey
The learner will describe the non-inverting op-amp configuration and calculate the circuit gain.
Hand Tools
By Terry Bartelt, Pat Jensen
Explore some common hand tools you’ll use both at home and at work.
Transfer Functions: The RC Low Pass Filter
Students read how the transfer function for a RC low pass filter is developed. The transfer function is used in Excel to graph the Vout. The circuit is also simulated in Electronic WorkBench and the resulting Bode plot is compared to the graph from Excel.
