The author recommends teaching such aninterdisciplinary course for non-majors not only for the pleasure of the experience, butalso for the benefits of expanded scholarship that result, both for the students and thefaculty member, in the form of newly established interdisciplinary connections. Suchconnections include understanding diverse viewpoints on technology, recognizing howone fits in the process of developing and guiding technology for society as a whole, andbringing the broader background of biographical and historical precedent into theclassroom of the standard engineering

Further, the finished AGPMA kits will contain aninteractive DVD that will provide explicit instructions for using the kits along with explanationsof the science behind the experiments. The DVD will also contain information on educationalopportunities and descriptions of careers in Ceramic Engineering. Prior to delivery to AGPMA,the kits will be tested by UMR.

In the first part thebackground of ‘network mechanics’ is introduced at a level consistent with undergraduate andgraduate courses on Polymer Science and Engineering that are being offered at Carnegie MellonUniversity. The challenges associated with the design of hands-on experiences to support theteaching of ‘mechanical properties of polymer networks’ are described to illustrate theopportunities for force-feedback technologies.In the second part, this paper describes the process of adopting low-cost force

The team meetsonce a week to discuss plans for designs, fabrication of test units, scheduling of tests anddiscussion of test results. The team is led by a student project leader with a faculty member asadvisor. At this point, initial tests have been conducted on a lab model for purposes of provingthat the concept does produce electrical power by
