Learning Theory Current Debate
Select one of the following learning topics:
Multiple intelligences.
Learning styles.
Brain hemisphere dominance (left versus right brain).
The Mozart effect.
Homework is essential for learning.
The use of technology and “screens” in learning.
Learning happens best in a school.
Research the historical approaches for the learning controversy and how this issue is currently being debated.
Looking at this learning controversy through the lens of learning theories and neuroscience, identify what has changed or been discovered.
Analyze the multiple perspectives of the selected theoretical concept.
Present arguments on both sides of the debate—both for and against the idea.
Assess the effect of the selected theoretical concept on your area of specialization.
To complete this assessment, you will need to do the following:
Evaluate multiple perspectives on both sides of the selected theoretical concept.
Present the arguments from both sides of the debate.
Discuss the current state of the debate in the field.
Assess the quality of available research being used to support a current debate in learning theory.
Examine the nature of the research that is being used by each side of the debate.
Determine the quality of this research by determining if the articles are theoretical in nature, are opinions, or are quality academic research.
Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing.
Exhibit adherence to stylistic conventions, document structure, and source attributions.
OSHA Chemical Hazards and Toxic Substances Controlling Exposure
OSHA Chemical Hazards and Toxic Substances Controlling Exposure
Access the webpage below to see the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) hierarchy of controls.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. (n.d.). Chemical hazards and toxic substances: Controlling exposure. United states Department of Labor. https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/hazardoustoxicsubstances/control.html
Then, complete the two parts of this assignment below.
Part I
Choose a control method that represents each level of the hierarchy (four total). For each of the four you choose, write one paragraph about that specific control method. The paragraph should explain how that control method can be used to reduce the risk associated with the management of hazardous material.
Part II
In another paragraph, give your opinion about which of the controls would be the most effective in controlling risks associated with an operation with which you are familiar, which control method would be the most cost-effective to implement, and which control method you would actually recommend to management.
Your total essay (both Parts I and II) must be at least three pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. You must include at least one academic reference to support your paper.
Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
Polymer-based O-rings Paper
Polymer-based O-rings Paper
Scenario
Your engineering manager has informed you that you will be involved some new projects, one of which is
involved with the design of a new line of polymer-based O-rings. These will be used in a static application to
seal a motor enclose, as part of an inspection robot that operates underwater in the North Sea.
Activity
Before you take on the project, you need to show that you understand the subject area, your manager has
therefore set you a number of tasks to determine your level of knowledge.
Task 1
To ensure that you are taking the first steps in the right direction of the project, you will need to submit a series
of answers to set questions, as follows:
a) Briefly describe at least three of the required properties for an O-ring in this sub-sea application.
b) Using the data sheets provided in workbook 2 or others acquired from a reliable source, select and
describe two polymer materials which would be suitable for this application, as well as some suitable
processing techniques for the materials.
c) Looking again at the data sheets, suggest how a suitable modification could improve these materials by
extending their range.
Task 2
a) Describe three common reasons for the premature failure of polymer-based products.
b) List how polymer materials can be disposed of and explain how they could also be recycled.
c) Describe how the service conditions of the O-rings may contribute to their failure.
Task 3
For a polymer product of your choice, analyse the potential benefits of using a proportion of or wholly recycled
material in place of virgin material.
