This origami design, named for the Japanese art of folding paper called origami, allowsone to print and assemble postage-stamp sized paper batteries for an initial equipment investmentof under $1000 (a wax printer and micropipettes). Although the start-up cost of supplies is a fewhundred dollars, the approximate cost per postage-stamp sized battery is on the order of $0.10.The design presented here has a folded footprint of 1 cm2 and outputs an open circuit voltage of2.5 V for over 15 minutes.

This paperattempts to bridge this gap by presenting a basic yet comprehensive project that can be used todemonstrate amplitude modulation and demodulation theory. It is specifically designed to stir theinterest of junior or senior level electronics minded electrical engineering students. In thisproject, a double sideband large carrier waveform is produced using a simple switchingmodulator circuit. The resulting amplitude modulation (AM) waveform is then demodulatedusing an envelope detector circuit. The proposed project requests that students perform a circuitsimulation as well as an actual circuit implementation. The circuit behavior is studied via bothanalysis using software tools and

IMUs are relativelyinexpensive and versatile enough to employ in a large lecture setting without the need for adedicated laboratory. The IMUs in this study incorporate three-axis MEMS accelerometers andangular rate gyros together with on-board memory. These sensors have the added benefits ofbeing relatively small (1.5”x1”x0.5”), not requiring students to provide their own hardware (i.e.smartphones), and allowing for standardization for conducting experiments.

For example, Riley et al. [6]describe how ethics can be micro-inserted into a course by expanding the context of technicalhomework problems. A traditional calculation-based problem would be expanded by asking thestudent to evaluate an ethics issue based on their calculation.
