| Agricultural Accidents and Rescue: An Introduction More on DVD Version | This instructional series examines the specialized field of agricultural rescue, showing the machinery and structures used on a farm and the hazards and types of accidents associated with them. In this introductory program, a simulated tractor overturn is shown, and the rescue team, composed of Emergency Medical Services instructors, demonstrates the ten phases of successful rescue. Includes instructor's guide and student workbook. Produced for the College of Engineering by Penn State Television / WPSX-TV. |
| Construction of the Light Airplane More on DVD Version | This 1942 instructional program identifies the five major parts of an airplane, then shows and explains the construction and operation of each part in detail, such as welding the frame assembly and stitching the fabric on the fuselage and wings. Also touches on the air tests for stability and safe operational performance that were required for licensing. Although more than one model of airplane is shown under construction, the focus is on the Piper Cub. Photographed at Piper Aircraft Corporation inLock Haven, Pennsylvania. Produced by Audio-Visual Services and the College of Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. |
| Evolution: The Human Factor in Evolution More on DVD Version | Looks at the effects of artificial selection in livestock, such as limiting genetic diversity and creating animals too fragile to sustain regular activity. Also examines genetic engineering and how careless extermination of native flora and fauna or introduction of exotics can disrupt the natural ecological balance. |
| Strategies for Interfacial Engineering: Seeing in a New Way More on DVD Version | Describes advances in the understanding of colloidal and interfacial systems by demonstrating and discussing recent technology for use in the direct viewing of microstructures. Covers surfactant numbers, fluorescence life-time apparatus, video-enhanced microscopy, cryo-transmission electron microscopy, flow cells, and surface forces apparatus. Produced by the University of Minnesota. |
| To Build Our Future More on DVD Version | Provides a detailed look at the issues of genetic counseling and presents some of the possibilities for prevention of genetic diseases through the use of genetic engineering research, including the application of gene splicing and cloning. Study guides available. From the Through the Genetic Maze series. Produced by Penn State Television / WPSX-TV in association with the Hastings Center, Institute of Society, Ethics, and the Life Sciences. |

| Liquid Assets More on DVD Version | Liquid Assets, a ninety-minute documentary, tells the story of essential infrastructure systems: water, wastewater, and stormwater. These systems, some in the ground for more than 100 years, provide a critical public health function and are essential for economic development and growth. Largely out of sight and out of mind, these aging systems have not been maintained, and some estimates suggest this is the single largest public works endeavor in our nation’s history. Exploring the history, engineering challenges, and political and economic realities in urban and rural locations, the documentary provides an understanding of the hidden assets that support our way of life. Locations featured in the documentary include Atlanta, Boston, Herminie (Pennsylvania), Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C. |
