— Small photovoltaic energy collection systems are readily available in a wide range offorms, from various do-it-yourself project instructions to plug-and-play demonstrators.Piezoelectric energy collection systems are likewise readily available, though some assemblymay be required. 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. The students learn and apply basic engineering skills, including the important skillof specifying and combining

without exposureto real-world projects during the course of the technical education may neither develop theseimportant skills nor gain sufficient motivation to pursue careers in engineering. We thereforebelieve that the introduction of challenge-based engineering curricula and/or projects will createa favorable atmosphere for creativity, innovation, increased participation and teamwork.In this paper, we present the experiences and student learning outcomes when a group ofundergraduate students from diverse science and engineering disciplines (non-ocean engineeringdisciplines) were exposed to challenge-based ocean engineering project. The team consisted of 7undergraduate students (1 freshman, 2 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 2 seniors) from

the Standard Bridge ProjectBackgroundStudents have traditionally designed, analyzed, built, and tested small-scale bridges as part of anintroductory solid mechanics course. This past fall, however, students designed, analyzed, andbuilt sound-generating or musical bridges in small groups. Fifty-two students, mainlysophomores, enrolled in and completed the course. The project was inspired by discussions withcomposer Molly Herron, who is writing an engineering-inspired piece to be performed in thespring of 2017 as part of a celebration for the 150th anniversary of the Thayer School ofEngineering at Dartmouth. Molly requested that students build unique instruments that wereinteractive and symbolized engineering for the performance. The class
