Abstract
Thermoelectric modules (TEM), also known as Peltier modules, form an interesting topic to cover in an introductory semiconductor course. They provide insight on some important semiconductor principles, namely the Seebeck effect (the reverse of the Peltier effect) and thermal conductance. This paper presents a new methodology to characterize a TEM using a custom-designed test apparatus along with a simplified method for determining the TEM's three key parameters: its Seebeck coefficient, its electrical resistance, and its thermal conductance. Results obtained using this methodology were validated by comparing the anticipated theoretical behavior of the TEM (using the experimentally determined parameters) to the actual results obtained in a vacuum environment. The suggested methodology has been evaluated by students and the results of this demonstrate its usefulness in an educational environment.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
