. While flipped classroom models are gaining popularity in higher education, student’sattitudes towards these courses are often mixed. Over three years, a first-year engineering CADcourse was “flipped” by the instructor recording short video demos of SOLIDWORKStechniques for students to watch outside of class in addition to step-by-step text instructions.While in class, the instructor gave a brief overview of new techniques, and then the rest of classtime was used to complete homework assignments and group projects. At the end of the course,student perceptions of the course were assessed by an anonymous survey. More than 75% of thestudents responded that they preferred this CAD course be taught in the flipped classroom formatover a traditional
result of the experiments is that a statistically significant AC signal, produced only whenexposed to sound, thereby proves that sound is causing the electrical signal. It is extremely likelythat, when scaled up and in the right conditions, our device could supply usable electricity byrecovering energy from the sound.IntroductionThis paper investigate a small-scale project that illustrates the potential of using sound energy asa means of creating electrical energy to be stored and reused. The objective of this project was tocreate a a prototype device that could convert sound and vibrational energy to a voltage that couldbe captured on a small scale. Although the main goal of the device was to provide a proof ofconcept, the ideas outlined in

. The following research report focused on the solar cellaspect of renewable energy. Experiments were performed and data collected in order to determinewhich variables affect the output power; whether it be the azimuth of the sun or position of the solarpanel. Three different sources (Halogen bulb, Solar radiation, and a power supply) were used togenerate DC in order to conduct the experiments as shown in this paper. IntroductionThis project introduces the concept of converting sunlight to electricity using photovoltaic cells.During the research, we will familiarize ourselves with these concepts through the literature,assessment questions, and by conducting a lab experiment to determine the effect of
