throughout history. Unlike the conventionalelectric power generation systems, in energy harvesting concept, fossil fuels are not used and thegeneration units might be decentralized. There are many sources for harvesting energy, such assolar, wind, ocean, hydro, electromagnetic, electrostatic, thermal, vibration, and human bodymotion. Even the energy of radio frequency waves, propagated due to television and radiobroadcasting in the environment, can be harvested. However, advanced technical methods shouldbe developed to increase the efficiency of devices in harvesting energy from variousenvironmentally friendly resources and converting them into electrical energy. Thesedevelopments have sparked interest in engineering community as well as the

In the first group meeting, theinstructor asked students to free-write about communities they belong to: What are thosecommunities? What defines them? Who are the members? How does one come to belong? Aftersharing, students discussed initial ideas of what it means to do an engineering project that is“engaged with a community”. Following the initial meeting, students spent two weeks reading (out-of-class) and discussing(in-class) critiques of ETH projects, including references [1], [3], [6], [7].

, creativity is seen as the ability to generate new ideas, either as new ways oflooking at existing problems or of seeing new opportunities, perhaps by exploiting emergingtechnologies or changes in markets [1-4]; as shown in Figure 1, creativity has two phases. Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7]. By the time we reach our university studies, most of ushave been trained to move quickly from divergent thinking to convergent thinking, so we can findthe best answer or best plan to whatever problem we face. Interestingly, at an early age, primaryschool children
