These questions were divided into three categories: office space (Block B),lab space (Block C), and computers (Block D). The third set of questions (Blocks E and F) wasdesigned for student self-assessment of preparedness to perform EnvE research successfully.These questions examined how prepared students felt they were for research when they beganthe program, how well the program has prepared students for research, and how well a laboratory Page 11.130.10course has

Intuitively they see that the Faraday flashlight requires much less effort to illuminate an LED than a hand cranked generator to illuminate an incandescent lamp.3- With students’ interest piqued, we then collaboratively discuss and formulate an experiment to measure quantitively the illumination produced by the Faraday Flashlight. Resulting in the following: a- Using a simple mailing tube with a light meter (sensing element) taped on one end, the flashlight is shaken to obtain a reasonable level of illumination and then placed in the tube directly in front of the sensing element. b- The students start a stopwatch and the level of illumination is read from the light
