and epistemic curiosity, engineering identity, and self-efficacy will be used to gauge student progress [2]. As a result, the Industrial Engineering (IE)department adopted the ECP idea with a focus on implementing home-based hands-on activitiesfor two courses. Learning a specific idea can start at any point, but the ECP concept starts withthe presentation of an experiment to teach the students a theory. This greatly improves thestudent's ability to retain the taught theoretical topic. The ECP concept is based on the MobileStudio project designed by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to boost students' interest andsuccess in electrical engineering [3]. Since then, many colleges, including 13 HBCUs in the USA[4], have adopted it as a

Although additive manufacturing has become a popular method ofmanufacturing, there are downfalls that come along with this technique. Due to the layeringprocess taken to create a part, the structural integrity of the part can decrease compared to thepart constructed using the traditional methods.

and similar engineering designs. The idea ofour project is based on the law of conservation of energy. We are taught, even as young students, that energycannot be created or destroyed [2]. It is one of the most basic and common ideas of physics. The energy weuse to rotate our chairs, therefore, can be harnessed and stored. Otherwise, it is lost to sound and heat energy,which are not of use to us. The key formula our idea is based on is that of rotational kinetic energy: E=½I𝜔2 [3]. This helped us reason that even partial rotations (in either direction) would still generate energy, asthe equation is not dependent on the direction of the velocity.

Finally, an overall letter grade andassociated GPA are assigned based on the course assessment weightings and points.

Although this jump is not impossible, it is unlikelybecause at rest the heart rate does not normally fluctuate that much. Therefore, this indicates apotential source of error from our heart rate. With a better quality heart rate monitor there wouldlikely be less jumps in the heart rate over time.ConclusionIn this project, we were able to successfully create a chest strap that generates power from theuser's own body temperature.
