However the concept of capturingsmall quantities of waste energy to power useful electrical devices is not new. The “self-winding” wristwatch, which is powered by the motion of the wearer, was originally availabledecades ago, but public awareness of energy conservation and sustainability has brought newattention to this type of energy capture and use. Many energy harvesting systems are designed tocapture mechanical energy, such as vibration, and convert it to electrical energy. The problem ofconverting small amounts of

often experiments in physics use the sameconcept to determine the properties of materials. The capacitance seems to be the most oftenmeasured quantity. In this paper we will concentrate on presentation of voltage-ratio devices.From Figure 1 it can be seen that the voltage ratio is obtained using an inductive voltage divider.There are a number of references that give technical details on inductive voltage divider design[1] [2]. But they are written by engineers deeply involved in research, for engineers doing thesame. Our goal is to present a straightforward and comprehensible lecture on voltage dividerdesign. “Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition

A variety ofconsiderations included the proportion of courses in mathematics, sciences, humanities, arts, andsocial sciences. The existing and future demand for engineers in Boise, Southwest Idaho, and theNorthwest region was deliberated as well as the quality of education to be delivered.While ABET specifies minimum criteria for four year engineering programs, it is the desire ofMechanical Engineering faculty to meet and exceed these requirements.

For the rest of us,learning to be a good teacher can be an awkward, sometimes frustrating, process of trial and error that isoftentimes unsatisfactory to both the fledgling instructor and to the students. To overcome these limitations,individuals who are preparing for careers as elementary or secondary education instructors are required tocomplete a program of study that includes a core of professional education and methodology courses, as wellas a supervised teaching practicum
