The following detailed descriptions of thesecalculations should be viewed in terms of the background needed to perform them and the impactthey have on the education of the next generation of engineers who will design and build thesedevices.In the following sections we review some of the non-membrane-based technologies of extractingsalinity gradient energy. Non-membrane electrode-based technologies including CapMix andmixing entropy battery (MEB) produce electricity during a batch cycling, which means thesetechnologies have not been shown to operate on a continuous cycle considering the current stateof the art.

To test the reliability of our findings regarding early and late-term differences, weplan to include all first-year engineering students in a future iteration of this project, resulting in a sample sizeestimated to be well over 300 students.We also conducted a path analysis to test the hypothesized impact of a caring instructor on the other motivationfactors. We hypothesized that the caring factor would significantly predict student empowerment throughmodel in which caring had both a direct effect on empowerment, and indirect effects on empowerment throughthe success, interest, and usefulness factor scores. In other words, we believed that success, interest

First, the empirical literature onstudents’ beliefs about engineering knowledge suggests that engineering students’ beliefs remainrelatively stable during the first two years of undergraduate engineering education [15].Conversely, students’ beliefs are likely to change dramatically over the final years of theundergraduate engineering curriculum as they engage in team- and project-based learningexperiences that shape their perspectives on engineering knowledge [15].
