Welcome to STEM Visualizations!

Introducing accessible, inquiry-based learning technologies into the college classroom.


This site was designed to help students learn conceptually complex STEM problems by giving them a more interactive way of engaging with course material.

Our long-term vision is to create an open repository for a range of visualization-based models: from interactive data visualization (through plots) of system response to more advanced graphics-based simulations of complex natural and engineered systems. Our models cover a variety of different topics and subjects, hopefully you find these to be useful!

Biodegradability Classification

Biodegradability Classification

Experiment with a simple classification problem, building your own model to predict the biodegradability of organic compounds. View the implementation and impact of machine learning in chemical engineering contexts.

Catalysis

Catalysis Data Science

Discover trends within a large dataset of catalysts through exploration. Use various data science and machine learning methods, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, to gain a deeper understanding of the data.

DLT

Digital Lab Twin

Delve into using a neural network to predict the outputs of a photobioreactor (PBR). Change the PBR's variables and the neural network's hyperparameters to create an optimized PBR system and an accurate evaluation.

DAC

Direct Air Captures

Develop a direct air capture (DAC) system, a climate solution that filters out carbon dioxide from any point in ambient air. Modify the DAC's characteristics, observe its performance, and optimize its configuration.

Reaction Kinetics

Reaction Kinetics

Explore reaction kinetics, the branch of chemistry concerned with the rate of transformation of reactant into product. Observe the progression of a reaction through customizable inputs and dynamic output displays.

SEIR

SEIR Infectious Diseases

Follow the spread of infectious diseases through interactive visualizations of the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) model. Adjust the characteristics of the outbreak to see the influence on infection.

ZECC

Zero Energy Cooling Chamber

Optimize a zero energy cool chamber (ZECC), a storage solution intended to preserve food in arid climates using passive evaporation. Evaluate the chamber's performance in different locations using the visualizations.
