Electrical engineering for everyone [videorecording]. by Bottomley, Laura J.,instructor.; Teaching Company,publisher.(CARDINAL)349444;

Instructor: Laura J. Bottomley, director of Women in Engineering, Engineering Education, and the Engineering Place at NC State University.To many of us, electricity can still seem like the "magic" our ancestors imagined it to be when they saw it in the natural world. But the science of electricity is considerably more amazing than magic, as you'll see in the 24 fascinating lectures of Electrical Engineering for Everyone. With dozens of live demonstrations, along with explanatory graphics and video, Dr. Laura J. Bottomley brings you on the amazing journey of electrical engineering, the discipline that has taken us from the electric lightbulb to interstellar space to artificial intelligence in less than 150 years.DVD; widescreen

The unofficial guide to building railroads in Minecraft / by Nagelhout, Ryan,author.(CARDINAL)350196;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Where to? -- Stocking up -- Smelt and build -- The why and how -- Kinds of carts -- Making it move -- Somewhere to go -- Station to station -- Build your railroad dreams! -- Making mods.One of the most exciting aspects of creating worlds in the popular game of Minecraft is constructing railroads to carry your character around the towns you build. Rails and carts can also be used to make transportation systems in mines, but also roller-coasters. This volume shows readers how railroads constructed in Minecraft can display engineering concepts used in the real world. Using the redstone blocks in Minecraft gives readers a basic understanding of electronic circuits. Readers are also encouraged to explore computer programing and creating mods in Minecraft. The colorful illustrations and photographs help allow readers to make important connections between Minecraft and engineering.
