].Musculoskeletal injuries can be treated using invasive and non-invasive methods. Both invasiveand non-invasive methods usually include prolonged immobilization of the injury, which maylead to delay in the recovery [5], [6]. It has been scientifically proven that PulsedElectromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy decreases the immobilization period by mimicking thebody’s natural healing process, which increases the blood flow to the injured area to speed up thehealing process.PEMF therapy devices use electromagnets to direct a series of magnetic pulses through damagedtissue in order to stimulate cellular repair. The body’s natural healing process is accelerated byutilizing this mechanism [7], [8]. The intent of PEMF therapy is to reduce the pain of the

As size and weight decrease and the factor of safety islowered, more and more emphasis is placed on better raw material control and higher quality ofmaterials, manufacturing processes, and workmanship. A producer of raw material or a finishedproduct frequently does not improve quality or performance until that improvement is demandedby the customer. The pressure of the customer is transferred to implementation of improveddesign or manufacturing. Non-destructive testing is frequently called on to deliver this newquality level.10Non-destructive tests are used to determine the direction, amount, and gradient ofstresses in mechanical parts as applied in the field of experimental stress analysis.

This involves looking at existing designs, brainstorming, and coming up with analogiesto the problem at hand. Choosing among options fosters what Harel and Papert call "cognitiveflexibility" - the ability to search for different (and better) alternatives to a design problem, andeven discard ones that aren't efficient (Harel, Papert, 1996).

This finding is consistent with other recent offerings and with the observations of theinstructors. Even before the shift in emphasis away from manually written programs, this aspectof learning and skills acquisition was weaker than other areas. Some of this undoubtedly has to dowith the assessment mechanism of using quizzes and exams where time pressure and the need tomemorize material proves challenging to some.

Coils of varying diameters, heights, and wire gauge were made toexplore the design space and performance. An electric hand-drill was used to wind the coilsfrom a spool of enamel coated copper magnet-wire. The metal prongs were cut out of 1/16”sheet steel using sheet-metal shears and hand-fit to the coils. The magnet arrangement in thecommercial product was reproduced by cutting disks out of a pressed paper-board material anddrilling holes symmetrically around the
