The objective is to generate power from the exhaust airflow(analogous to jet engine afterburners, but on a much smaller scale). For the piezoelectric device,the idea is to make the device vibrate to generate power. Students and faculty in an engineeringtechnology program studied air conditioning units to

. One main part of the accreditationprocess concerns the student outcomes. It all starts with ETAC/ABET student learning criteria.An Engineering Technology program must use these learning criteria to develop its own studentoutcomes. It must document student outcomes that will serve as a reference in judging how thestudents attain the program educational objectives. A documented and effective process for theperiodic review and revision of student outcomes must be available. One challenge is how topresent the student outcomes in the self-study report. Each student outcome has to be assessedvia a well-developed rubric. Another challenge is to how to summarize all statistics from alldifferent rubrics and report it in a well-written

Our first instinctwas to develop this for educational purposes as a visible communication protocol (as compared to a non-visible protocol, such as Bluetooth), but cost and battery life considerations may pave the way for its usein our kits. Simply making these ‘old’ technologies available for experimentation by students mayunleash their imagination in many new directions.
