SMART Research Project Report by Russ Holstein and Ryan Cain

Development and testing of a permeameter to simulatefluid seepage within soil specimens. -

It was a long four weeks but we have completed our project and documented it for NSF!

A second summer learning about mechatronics!!!

After two years involved in the AMPS/CBSI I applied to another program to learn about microcontrollers and work with graduate students at NYU-Poly.

The first year I worked along with Dr. Horace Walcott (Brooklyn Tech H.S.), assisted by Vlad Kopman and Karl Abdelnour under the auspices of Dr. Maurizio Porfiri in the Dynamical Systems Lab. I must thank them again for such a rich experience.

This year I'm working along with Ryan Cain (P.S. 3K) assisted by Andrew Cave and Eduardo Seuscun under the auspices of Dr. Magued Iskander in the Soils Mechanics Lab. I believe that, with last year's experience, I shall get even more out of it this year!

Mr. Cain also is documenting our experience on his blog: http://rysci.wordpress.com

This work is supported in part by the National Science Foundation under a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Site grant EEC-0807286. We thank the Mechatronics Lab and the Soil Mechanics Lab for hosting us during our summer research program.
