caretaker. The Bridge House was recently transformed by undergraduatestudents6 into a structural dynamics laboratory, including aesthetic rehabilitation, fabrication andinstallation of testing equipment and the addition of removable braces to alter the buildingdynamic response. The Bridge House is ideal for vibration experimentation since it is simpleenough for the students to quickly model by hand calculations and with computational models,yet complex enough so that the results can be readily applied to an actual structure. Thestructural system is straightforward consisting of ordinary moment frames in the N/S direction,and concentrically braced frames in the E/W direction. Removable braces were also installed inthe E/W direction (see Figure 1c

Themajor motivators were legislation, owner(s) perspective, customer demands, and internal drive.SMEs struggle with understanding environmental sustainability due to the lack of people withsustainability education in their organization.

This logo was implemented by Jim Earle and was only usedfor several years and for whatever reason was discontinued. The next appearance of a Divisionlogo was in the late 80’s. The editor was Barry Crittenden and the designer was Peter Miller.This logo was used fairly consistently through 1993. In 1993 a contest was held and a new logoselected. Mary Sadowski was the editor at the time. In the late 1990’s Judy Birchman was theeditor and a different logo was used.

A challenge facing TEGs is their low efficiencydue to obtaining their energy from low energy sources such as waste heat and a low figure ofmerit (ZT) that enable conversion of heat into electricity1. , where T is the absolutetemperature, s is Seebeck coefficient, is electrical conductivity, and k is thermal conductivity.In power generation, the Seebeck effect enables the direct conversion between heat and electricenergy streams. Heating one end of the unit cell while holding the other end cooler induceselectromotive force within the material and may be harnessed for electrical power2.
