The videos are organized into themes, as described below. To watch a video, select a title from the table below. Videos are accompanied by Instructor Guides where available, and related OCW courses are suggested where applicable.
| THEMES | DESCRIPTIONS | STEM CONCEPT Video Titles | related COURSES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communication | Successful professional communication begins with the ability to analyze situational variables and make strategic decisions. | ||
| Conservation | In order to analyze or modify a system, it is important to understand how the laws of conservation place constraints on that system. | ||
| Derivatives and Integrals | Derivatives describe the dependencies of change in a system. Integrals help quantify changing properties. |
| |

| |||
| Differential Equations | Differential equations model changing properties in engineering systems. | ||
| Equilibrium | To determine whether or not a system is at equilibrium, we must understand how a system's equilibrium state is constrained by its boundary and surroundings. |
| |
| Governing Rules | A small number of rules describe the physical and chemical interactions that are possible in our universe. | ||
| |||

| Information Flow | This video is part of the Information Flow video series. A system is shaped and changed by the nature and flow of information into, within, and out of the system. | ||
| Linearity | Many complex systems are modeled or approximated linearly because of the mathematical advantages. | ||
| Probability and Statistics | Many events and phenomena are probabilistic. Engineers, designers, and architects often use probability distributions to predict system behavior. | ||
| Problem Solving | Scientists, engineers, and architects must devise solutions to open-ended problems with technical and non-technical dimensions. |
| |
| |||
| Representations | Information can be represented in words, through mathematical symbols, graphically, or in 3-D models. Representations are used to develop a deeper and more flexible understanding of objects, systems, and processes. |

| |||
| Structure-Function Properties | The structure, function, and properties of a system are related and depend on the processes that define or create the system. | ||
