Tools.Piezoelectric ChargingPiezoelectric energy was experimentally discovered by Pierre and Jacques Curie in the 1880s.They discovered that when mechanical stress is applied to certain materials, charges are displaced,and materials produce voltage under mechanical stress.3 We harness the energy of human walkingmovement by placing piezoelectric elements under the foot so that energy is produced with eachstep.When mechanical strain is applied to the piezoelectric elements, the crystals produce alternatingcurrent (AC). For a battery to charge, it requires direct current (DC). We used rectifying circuit sothat the current can only flow away from the piezoelectrics.4Furthermore, because the mechanical strain of walking does not provide constant pressure

The storytelling cue methodology comes from the 1943 TAToriginally designed by Murray to diagnostically categorize unconscious images with a picturetest [10, 14, 15]. Notably, the TAT has been demonstrated as a valuable method for captur-ing underlying motives [10]. Applications for the workplace began when Atkinson [13] suc-cessfully used it to measure achievement motives. More recently, the TAT has been ac-claimed for validly testing compatibility and employee-workplace fit, productivity and lead-ership in the workplace [18, 20].The “cue storytelling line” prompt offers interpretations of actions, styles, narrative expres-sions, and symbols that provide useful data.

Members.Activity 3: Two and Three Force MembersFigure 5 shows the last activity in this module on rigid body equilibrium analysis. This activityusually takes about an hour. Students construct a free-body diagram of member BC. They have asecond copy of this model. The model has spherical ends at B and C. We instruct students tohold the piece with one finger on either end so they can feel how the forces at B and C must becollinear to maintain stable equilibrium.They draw a free-body diagram and perform a quantitative analysis to solve for the forces onmember AC. Then we ask them to perform some conceptual analysis of the problem andconsider how they can use the fact that AC is a three-force member to reason through thefollowing prompt: Suppose the

During Week6, in addition to writing their first program in C, students also must follow a prescribed algorithm.The Brensenham’s line drawing algorithm is discussed in class without considering theimplementation in C and students are asked to understand the algorithm and to implement it in aC-program. This allows students to further hone their computation mindset by observing how acomplex procedure is decomposed and planned by another author. This also forces students tohave to implement the algorithm exactly as intended and does not leave room for any otherinterpretation. After
