When the instructor initiates a multiple choice question, the students key intheir answers, the results are saved in a data file, and the instructor can display a histogram ofclass results. Individual and aggregate data are saved for each session.In order to have students solve real-world problems, they need a tool to perform computationallyintensive problems.

semester. Due to the nuanced nature of choice effect it seems that the field ofengineering education will benefit from research on choice within collegiate level courses. Onesuch study by Meadows, Fowler and Hildiner7 has shown that student interest and perception inengineering increased when students explore topics aligned with the incoming interests.This paper looks at how offering a choice in lab projects affects the interest rating of the project astudent completes. Further, surveys were used to assess student attitudes towards the variousprojects and factors that affected their initial project interest and a discussion is provided whichsuggests how the current results fit in with past research on choice.Project OverviewsAll of the projects

potential applications.IntroductionDevices that scavenge energy from the ambient surrounding environment have become a populartopic for research. For some applications, energy scavenging eliminates the need for batteries orincrease the time between battery replacements. One ambient energy source found in ourenvironment is a temperature change (thermoelectric-Seebeck) effect. This form of ambientenergy is found in buildings, machines, bridges, staircases, furnaces, indoor and outdoortemperature differences, and the human body. The use of TEGs based on thermoelectric effects(or Seebeck, Peltier, Thomson effect) is made possible by direct conversion of temperaturedifferences to electrical power [1-6]. The Seebeck effect occurs when a temperature

compared observations toseveral variable combinations such as the product of the velocity times the diameter and the ratioof the density to the viscosity – finding that certain things held constant. One of his keytechniques included the careful determination and variation of water temperature – somethingignored by previous researchers. His experiments allowed for a variation in the ratio of densityover viscosity by varying temperature (4 to 22ºC). Eventually, he was able to predict flowregimes based on one dimensionless group – now known in science and engineering as theReynolds number. Figure 1.

for the time and attention ofstudents. This pull is particularly disruptive when a student is enrolled in a program as rigorousas engineering. Minority students and women often bring different personal and social historiesto their college and engineering experience and they may require different persistence strategies.Students with higher levels of self-confidence tend to perform better and remain enrolled. Self-confidence tends to correlate with other positive indicators of persistence such as higher levels ofinterest in coursework, positive relationships with faculty, involvement in student societies,seminars, conferences and events, and participating in internships. Research suggests that affinity groups can play a significant role

In previous years, a singlereview was used, however this was inadequate for providing a quality product and giving thestudents adequate practice in conducting a design review. The SPFB settled on incorporatingthree design reviews. In addition, a multistage process was initiated to better match theprocesses similar to those cited in the background section. Specifically, in the first two reviews,the student teams must present technical designs and/or technical research results. These reviewsare directed toward design and selection of system components.
