This paper could provide a quick introduction into the buck-boost converterworld.Converter Features, Capabilities and UsagesThe converters come in Buck (step-down) and Boost (step-up) combinations. Some arewell aligned for 12 V automotive applications by having a 4 – 18 V input range foroutputs ranging from 3 - 20 V. This is important since automotive voltages sag duringstarting and heavy loading. They also surge at higher engine RPMs and heavy electricalload shutoff. For example, 5 V or 12 V portable electronics can be supplied with stablepower

The literature tends tofocus on how to assess teams with little consensus on the method to accomplish assessment or itseffectiveness.16-19 A comprehensive approach to teams and team training throughout thecurriculum was not readily apparent in the literature. Sheppard et al. have proposed developingteamwork through a core design thread starting in the freshman year and continuing through thesenior year.20 An assessment is done at each level to document student progress. While theirdesign thread was not completely implemented at the time their paper was published, this doesspeak to the need for integrating teamwork throughout the

Moreover, various studies highlight the importanceof belonging in making students feel welcomed by the institution, thereby enhancing self-efficacy [11], [13].Hence, incorporating a gender perspective in higher education institutions, especially inengineering schools dominated by men, becomes relevant. Higher education institutions shouldrecognize that a gender perspective should be an integral part of the institution.

While some of these codes aretaught in a science curriculum (e.g. power and energy are taught in physics), the understandingof these codes from an engineering perspective differs in how this understanding is applied toscience and current technology in our society.
