Students create model elevator carriages and calibrate them, similar to the work of design and quality control engineers. Students use measurements from rotary encoders to recreate the task of calibrating elevators for a high-rise building. They translate the rotations from an encoder to correspond to the heights of different floors in a hypothetical multi-story building. Students also determine the accuracy of their model elevators in getting passengers to their correct destinations.

Students will discuss Deaf Culture through the experiences of a Deaf individual. Students will work to translate scenarios in ASL, while understanding the importance of facial expressions and non-manual signs in conversation.

Garbage in, garbage out! explains how the quality of the texts you write affects the quality of the translations of those texts, especially when the translations come from tools like Google Translate. Learn how to write in a translation friendly way to ensure that readers can get the most out of your texts, no matter which language they speak.

Express yourself through your genes! See if you can generate and collect three types of protein, then move on to explore the factors that affect protein synthesis in a cell.

This course discusses the principles of genetics with application to the study of biological function at the level of molecules, cells, and multicellular organisms, including humans. The topics include: structure and function of genes, chromosomes and genomes, biological variation resulting from recombination, mutation, and selection, population genetics, use of genetic methods to analyze protein function, gene regulation and inherited disease.

I used Google Translate to convert chapters of the US History OpenStax textbook to languages other than English by following these steps using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro:
1. download the .pdf
2. Open in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (or other program that allows altering a .pdf file)
3. Under "Document", select "Extract" then identify the pages (assigned by Adobe, not the textbook) to extract. The file should be about 1/2 of a chapter to submit to Google Translate, otherwise it's too large.
4. Save the extracted file under a new name.
5. Go to translate.google.com and: a) select the language to translate to; b) click on "Translate a whole document", then upload the extracted chapter portion.
6. The translation appears as a page in the browser (I use Google Chrome)
7. Right click on the page and "Save as" on your computer (html file).
8. Upload to your LMS or other website, or email to the target student(s). The page will open in their browser.

Although it's good for international students to learn and practice English in a formal setting, I feel it's unfair to test them on a subject they are completely unfamiliar with in a language they may not understand perfectly - double whammy! Translating can help even the playing field.

Children and young people play an important role in migratory processes because they may act as links between their families, local communities and their school. Schooling and linguistic immersion in the host society can help young people learn the official language(s) of their new country faster than their parents or other adults. When they broker in a school context, they bring linguistic diversity to the school and display truly multilingual and multicultural skills that are part of their daily life. This Teacher's Book aims to help you and your students explore some of the complexity involved in young people taking on such roles in modern societies. Therefore, the aim of this Teacher's Book is twofold: (a) to celebrate multilingualism and raise awareness of young people translating and interpreting in schools, an activity also known as child language brokering; and (b) to provide a resource containing background information and interactive activities aimed at giving teachers tools for a deeper understanding of what language brokering by young people usually entails, so that you can then pass it on to your students.

The MIT Biology Department core courses, 7.012, 7.013, and 7.014, all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into multicellular systems and organisms. In addition, each version of the subject has its own distinctive material.
7.012 focuses on the exploration of current research in cell biology, immunology, neurobiology, genomics, and molecular medicine.

Students learn how engineers apply their understanding of DNA to manipulate specific genes to produce desired traits, and how engineers have used this practice to address current problems facing humanity. They learn what genetic engineering means and examples of its applications, as well as moral and ethical problems related to its implementation. Students fill out a flow chart to list the methods to modify genes to create GMOs and example applications of bacteria, plant and animal GMOs.

Can you avoid the boulder field and land safely, just before your fuel runs out, as Neil Armstrong did in 1969? Our version of this classic video game accurately simulates the real motion of the lunar lander with the correct mass, thrust, fuel consumption rate, and lunar gravity. The real lunar lander is very hard to control.

"Cold shock domain containing E1, or CSDE1, is emerging as a powerful protein in the cell. Growing evidence suggests that CSDE1 reprograms how RNA codes are ultimately translated into proteins, which means CSDE1 could be pivotal in how cells respond to internal and external changes like those brought on by disease. In a new review, researchers outline a model that could explain CSDE1’s reprogramming ability. According to the model, CSDE1 acts as a connector between RNAs and the specific proteins capable of regulating or altering those RNAs. For regulating proteins that can’t normally bind to RNAs, CSDE1 provides a bridge between the two. For proteins that do bind to RNAs, CSDE1 enhances that connection, and for proteins that can but don’t typically bind to certain RNAs, CSDE1 reshapes those RNAs to make binding possible. How CSDE1 connects proteins to RNAs in response to stress isn’t yet clear, but equipped with this new model, researchers could begin to understand CSDE1’s role in human disease..."

"Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor and represents a major health problem across the globe. Understanding how gliomas form has proven difficult, especially at the molecular level, but growing evidence points to the important roles played by non-coding RNAs, especially small non-coding RNAs that interact with PIWI proteins, or piRNAs. piRNAs execute functions associated with epigenetic reprogramming and can regulate transcription, translation, development, and mRNA stability. In fact, piRNAs have been detected in many types of cancer and are known to be involved in the development and spread of certain tumors. piRNAs are formed either through the “primary processing pathway” or the secondary “ping-pong cycle” pathway. In conjunction with PIWI proteins, piRNAs execute epigenetic regulation of genes by modifying histones. In this way, piRNAs can influence numerous molecular signaling pathways associated with the formation and spread of gliomas, including the PI3K/AKT and TNF signaling pathways..."
