The artificial hip device and itscomponents are shown in Figure 1A. To implant the device, students calibrated the device to ascalebar, aligned the femoral stem parallel to the femur, and centered the femoral head over the pivotpoint of the hip (Point B; Figure 1B). Students then performed rigid body equilibrium usingEquation 1 to find the unknown hip

needed for this research. The cost of the TEG modulesis still high, but the size of modules is considerably smaller than the solar modules; this is anadvantage, for the projects have space limitations. Solar cell prices have been dropping the pastthree years because of the interest to solar energy. At the same time, there are many researchattempts to increase efficiency of the TEGs and determine potential applications. With theexpected development of more efficient TEGs, the number of TEG based applications will beused in most energy projects where sunlight is not available.References[1] The Science of Thermoelectric Materials, “The Seebeck Effect”, Thermoelectric CaltechMaterials Science, Thermoelectrics.

Many technology programs use phrases like“hands-on” or “experiential” to characterize their educational approach5-7. This instructionalapproach differentiates technology programs from science programs and even from someengineering programs. For IT students to graduate as competent professionals in their discipline,it is necessary for them to be able to understand and apply current technological developments.Since the computer technology used in this experiential education changes constantly andrapidly8-13, as opposed to the relative stability of the underlying

For a number of reasons,this report is anecdotal, though some indications of success are presented.BackgroundA major engineering function is to represent elements of the world with mathematical models,use those models to answer questions, and then interpret results in light of the real-worldproblem. For example, “Is this beam string enough?” requires modeling the beam itself, theprobable stresses on it, and then using strength of materials to determine if anticipated stresseswould exceed the beam’s limitations. Because instructors, out of necessity, compel engineeringstudents to carry out the mathematical calculations by hand, students tend to focus on thosecalculations. However, nowadays
