Abstract:
This is the sixth article in a series on nurse innovators, which focuses on nurse-engineer partnerships and outlines working, replicable models of collaboration between the two disciplines. In this installment, we describe the role of academia in building the next generation of nurse-engineers, highlighting three novel academic programs that have reimagined nursing and engineering education to promote interdisciplinary partnership and innovation.

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
The load connected draws the current, and the circuit delivers the power to the load. The alternating current flowing through the load is determined using the rectangular form of voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance. The average power delivered to the load is obtained from the product of the square of current and load resistance.
