IntroductionRadiation interaction with materials can have beneficial uses, such as in betavoltaic cells, a typeof radioisotope power source that utilize energy of beta radiation converted into electricity [1].The specific development of betavoltaic devices has arisen out of the need for reliable, long-lived, high energy density power sources for operating electrical systems in hostile andinaccessible environments, such as -40°C and 80°C.

In this program,an Education Specialist from ATE sponsor K-8 teams in order to stimulate interest in STEM-related fields, develop 21st-century learning skills, and allow students to participate in theFIRST® LEGO® League tournaments. To this end, ATE provides LEGO® sets, FIRST® LEGO®League registration and competition fees, training and support for the campus teachers, andrecruits and trains undergraduate students from UTSA to mentor the children.

I, or more accurately my ego, reasoned that I must therefore be prepared tohandle this. Besides my ego, who else did I listen to? I asked colleagues about sabbaticalexperiences, and read about some of the education research going on in engineering schoolsaround the country. I read about wonderful new experiences being provided to engineeringstudents at other schools. I heard glowing reports about what a refreshing experience thesabbatical can be, and the literature seemed to support this view.
