The language used in the questions is informal to tryto convey the experience of the student or faculty rather than a formal engineering evaluation ofthe tool. The questions are the following:  Make and Model  What were your original debugging requirements?  What big piece of lab equipment it substitutes?  How did you find about it?  How have been using it? (look above in introduction)  Price? Is it worth it?  Would you recommend it to other students?  Would you recommend it as a substitute/complement for (a) particular lab piece(s) of equipment?  Cool things about it?  Any other features not available at university's available

In conclusion, the paper points out how engineering education could benefitfrom exposure and participation in such a design process even though students were not involvedin this study originally.IntroductionThermoelectric generators convert heat to electricity. Current geometry and materials used indesigns shown in figures 1 and 2 result to rigid devices. The geometry ensures no moving partswhile the materials provide a high figure of merit (ZT). ZT=S2σ/k, where k is thermalconductivity, σ is the electrical conductivity, and S is the Seebeck coefficient. The figure ofmerit, ZT, is dimensionless and is formed by multiplying Z with the average

theimportant biological information is contained in the small fluctuating voltages associated withsynaptic events rather than absolute potential distance from ground. To allow sufficientamplification to see these fluctuating potentials without magnifying the absolute potentials onwhich they ride, the logical choice is to use a low-frequency filter to eliminate the direct currentpotentials. With low frequency filters, one can select Low Frequency Filter (LFF) cutofffrequencies of 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, or 10 Hz, corresponding to time constants of 1.6, 5.3, 0.16, 0.05, or0.016 second. Even with modern digital equipment, the same LFF values work well withstandard scalp EEG frequencies. The most common setting is 1 Hz (τ = 0.16 s), which nicelypreserves most low

The semi-structured nature of the protocolallows the interviewer to pursue additional details regarding the case as needed. In this study, theCDM component of the interview was embedded within a set of more generalized questionsdesigned to provide a more comprehensive picture of each participant’s approach to the capstonedesign course. This approach thus elicited both general and concrete descriptions of participants’capstone courses and their approach to teaching. It incorporated sequencing of the questions toprovide context and elicit recall of memories associated within the context 5
