A single-endedprimary-inductor converter (SEPIC) can convert its input voltage to a higher or lower level. MostDC-DC converters are based on switching techniques, so the circuits are electronicallycomplicated. The intention of this project is to create and document the process to develop acomparably simple DC-DC converter. The ultimate goal is to produce a DC-DC converter capableof reducing the input voltage using simple components most engineers are aware of with anefficiency greater than 70% at basic output loads. A single-ended primary-inductor converter(SEPIC) shown in Fig. 1 [1] was chosen to be

Many students find geotechnical engineering education to be disconnected from theirinterests and career aspirations, leading them to perceive geotechnical jobs as tedious,challenging, and irrelevant. As a result, current geotechnical engineering education oftenfails to establish a strong interaction with students[1, 2]. To overcome these challenges andraise students’ interest in geotechnical engineering, traditional group projects ingeotechnical engineering courses are being replaced with creative, project-basedparticipation games, such as mixed reality games, to illustrate engineering principles usingreal-world applications.

Some cross-disciplinary areas withparticular demand, now and for the future, are found at the intersection between engineering andthe life sciences. Engineers increasingly need competencies in life science areas that intersectwith their engineering disciplines. Engineers also must meet high-tech industry requirements ofworking cross-culturally, communicating effectively with all teams across the enterprise, andeffectively using time and project management skills.
