content.Advanced Technology in Piezoelectric CeramicsIn addition to ceramic materials and applications, students learn about a fascinatingelectromechanical coupling called piezoelectricity that is being employed and researchedaround the world for varied purposes – often for creative energy harvesting methods,including generator and motor action. The piezo-electric effect is often encountered indaily life. For example, in small gas grill lighters, a lever applies pressure to a piezo-electric ceramic creating an electric field strong enough to produce a spark to ignite thegas. Furthermore, alarm clocks often use a piezo-electric element. When AC voltage isapplied, the piezo-electric material moves at the frequency of the applied voltage and theresulting

The course chosen for the study was an introductory circuitscourse—Electrical Engineering and Circuits I (ENGR 221). This course is a requirement for allengineering students at Louisiana Tech and covers such topics as the following: fundamentalconcepts (like current, voltage, and resistance), units and laws; network theorems and networksimplification; phasors and AC solution of circuits; and power and

As students would perform the measurements needed to calculate electricalresistance prior to the measurements needed for the calculations of thermal conductivity andspecific heat capacity, the warm-up time was acceptable as long as the apparatus was turned on atthe beginning of the lab session.A power switch was integrated into the circuit along with two LED indicators, a yellow
