This is a lecture-orientedcourse coupled with a semester project conducted in different industries. The semester project isdesigned to adopt the students to work in a group within a real industrial environment. However, dueto the pandemic the course was offered online, as well as group projects and physical visits to theindustry became infeasible. Hence, unlike previous years, in fall 2020 and 2021 the semester projectwas assigned to individual students based on some recorded video clips of the assigned workstation(s)imitating virtual visits to the industry.

Pursuant to this goal, a capstone project course was added to the updatedcurriculum of the BSCS degree. Even though the six Educational Student Outcomes (ESOs)prescribed by ABET [6] are addressed by the core courses in the curriculum, adding a capstoneproject course to the core curriculum brings together all the six ESOs in one course in a polishedand refined manner for students to see the relationship among all six ESOs.

If we were to go running, our body would use energyto help move our muscles in the required manner, but at the same time our body would produceheat, not all of which is useful. Another interpretation to such a situation is a firepit on a cold night.It might provide warmth to those around it, but the energy lost to the pit itself and the environmentin general is quite large.Inspired to find a solution that can help harness this excess heat energy, this project attempts tobuild a Heat Energy Harnessing Seebeck Generator to address the fire pit situation.
