This creativeactivity was chosen, because after completing a pilot study, the participants seemed to be able tocreate more sketches after completing this activity.

The measured output voltage, Vout, was comparedwith manual calculations.For the circuit of Fig. 3(b), students created the circuit, measure Vout, and compared it with thesource voltage VS. In addition, the currents going into terminals 2 and 3 were measured as wellas the current flowing out of pin 6. Students were asked to answer a few critical questions aboutthe operation of the circuit and its usefulness. R2

The palladium samples grew carbon films most readily at the inlet portion ofthe furnace, especially position #3 (see Figure 1). Flow rates of 15 sccm (1:1) for as little as 1minute have shown uniform and complete surface coverage. Longer deposition times yieldthicker films which after ~30min yield 3D macroscale features. Pd also showed carbon growthat temperatures of 350 oC with 100sccm (1:1) of gas flow. The film characteristics of Pd tend tobe dominated by filaments which assume a woven appearance (See Figure 2 a and b). Thesefilaments range in diameter and wrap around themselves and each other.
