For example, surface measurements of vessel wakes could be used forimproving hull designs. In the study of ocean surfaces, accurate surface measurementscould be used for verifying ocean wave models or in lieu of such models in the study ofvarious surface properties (i.e. microwave

only six students, or less than 6%, wereenrolled in the College of Engineering and Information Technology. This means that almost allof the student participants were pursuing non-engineering degrees. It is this fact that was mostintriguing and challenging from an engineering outreach perspective. In other words, how cannon-engineering students learn about the engineering implications of this disaster through theirservice experience?The 105 students were divided into five work groups of 21 students. Each group was assigned toa staff member who was responsible for supervising the daily work schedule and monitoring thestudents. The five staff members included the Director of the Russell House University Union,the Director of Housing and Residence
