We’re happy to share here a laboratory manual for an undergraduate lab in measuring the output of thermoelectric devices for power generation. The lab was written by Matt Scullin for Prof. Oscar Dubon’s MSE130 class at UC Berkeley in Fall 2009, and was accompanied by a series of lectures on thermoelectric materials and device physics and thermodynamics.

Please feel free to use this lab for your own course, and contact us if you have any questions.
