Page 24.1299.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Unleashing Student Creativity with Digital Design PatternsIntroductionThe design of digital logic circuits is, in part, a creative process. A solution to a logic designproblem must be imagined before it can be implemented. Creativity takes time and effort todevelop. With sufficient experience, students who design logic circuits can become quiteproficient in it (this often occurs only after graduation). In a classroom environment, however,teaching creativity is challenging. We believe that, with specific techniques, it is possible toencourage its development in such a way that students are able to design, implement and testsolutions to more

Included are industrial process waste heat,biomass, geothermal heat, and conventional combustion. Some of these sources are consideredto be environmentally friendly, renewable, and have therefore interested researchers in thepursuit of pollution free or near pollution free electrical power generation. Drawbacks to thecycle include a high level of mechanism complexity which can impact reliability and durability.Further, the cycle demonstrates a relatively low power output per engine size when comparedwith that of other prime movers.
