TENG powered pacemakers havebeen of great interest due to their biomedical properties for greatly benefiting the life and healthof both humans and animals. The battery life of these traditional implantable often only last afew years. They have to be surgically replaced after that via invasive procedures, which posegreat risks to the patients and a significant cost to the healthcare system.

Indicators of successful model implementation emerged from teacher’s feedback on how their classes changed through their use of the NEIR model. The changes observed by the teachers included: a. Projects that engage student in problem solving and the design process rather than kits or high structured activities b. Examples of how the teachers use NEIR in the classroom c. Classroom activities that required collaboration among all students, which included changes to classroom organization d. The teacher’s role in the classroom changed from providing answers and
