INTRODUCTION One of the dilemmas facing instructors of introductory operating systems courses is the development ofsuitable programming assignments. It is desirable to expose undergraduate students to realistic projects thatallow them to apply the theoretical concepts learned in lecture; however, great care must be taken not tooverwhelm the student enrolled in this course.

Each can capture energy and store that energy in a battery. Various indicatorsand communications hardware sometimes accompany such photovoltaic systems. This paperdescribes an undergraduate student project that integrates energy collection by means of acombined photovoltaic and piezoelectric system, communicating the process wirelessly to anLCD display.
