Many of the Electrical Engineering students had a background inMechatronics and Control Theory, which was beneficial in understanding theapplications at hand. The first application included a robotic car. The

— 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

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

China used to be self-sufficient in oil supplies, but isnow estimated to import 40% of its oil consumption.(1) Other industrialized countries such asJapan, Germany, India and Brazil have seen tremendous growth in car sales.The history and projections of oil demand and production support the belief of the theory of peakoil at the present time. Basically, the theory predicts that oil production is at its peak in history,and will soon be below oil demand and possibly create an energy crisis.(1) Economic growth (1)relies heavily on energy supply.

A primary goal ofthis project was to determine the installed PV system’s contribution to lowering the demandcharge.
