| Description: | "A central theme that ties the modules together is that the structure, properties, processing, and performance parameters of a material are intimately linked at all levels of scale. The interactive IN-VSEE modules provide: # Reinforcement of key concepts and fundamental principles that are taught in science, math and engineering curricula. # Prospective users on the methodologies of experimental design and remote SPM instrumentation on the web. # Students with a flavor of research. The modules will challenge and encourage potential users to formulate original experiments. A series of web-based educational modules follow this introductory page that center around a common theme of understanding and manipulation of our natural and man made material worlds. The module topics selected rely heavily on interactive, discovery-based learning activities to introduce or reinforce the user to not only key fundamental and applied material concepts within a material class or discipline but also among various material classes and disciplines over a wide range in length scale." |

Before you view any modules, you will need to install a set of plugins and software. You will be led through an easy step-by-step process, to assist you in getting the needed plugins and to install those plugins correctly. A brief overview of the process follows: 1. First, we will determine the type operating system on your machine, the kind browser you are using, and also find the screen properties for the monitor you are using. 2. Based on the above, we will suggest some changes that you have to make to optimize your viewing experience. 3. Next, we will determine the plugins that are already installed in your browser. We will then compare the existing plugins with the set of required plugins. * If we find that you have the required plugins already installed, then you will be given the go ahead to browse through the modules. * If you come up short on the needed plugins, then we will determine the specific plugins that you need to install. 4. Next, we will list out the url's of the web sites from where you can get the required plugins. You will have to download the required software, and install them one by one. 5. After you have installed the required plugins, come back to this page once again, so that we can check whether you have installed the plugins correctly. |
