The project ends in September 2012.The research involves the use of both centrifuge experiments and analytical modeling toinvestigate soil-foundation-structure interaction effects occurring in dense urban areas duringearthquakes. In support of this project, undergraduate students have participated primarily in thecentrifuge modeling aspect of the research. Six centrifuge experiments are planned for thisproject, with three completed to date. As research assistants, the undergraduates' primary tasksinclude calibrating and placing model instrumentation, constructing the models, helping toconduct the centrifuge tests, documenting experimental activities

This was evident in the first summer of the grant, and isdocumented in an early focus group report: Faculty had the sense there was a plan developed by the RED team to move forward, and that faculty who were not PIs or co-PIs did not have access to the details of that plan. Some co-PIs of the RED grant clarified during the focus groups that the plan is emergent, and that the goals were to develop a plan together. *Some faculty perceived an assumption by the external consultant that the department was in need of a drastic change in culture/climate. *Some faculty perceived a lack

As aconsequence, relationships had to be built between a broad network of community organizations.SABES was laid out to provide for a staged roll-out that would leverage the experiences of earlyadopters. The first year was a planning year. During this year, the curriculum was rewritten toalign with the NGSS framework and the first content-based teacher PD course, known as a“STEM Academy,” was developed. To provide expertise for teaching these STEM Academies,master teachers were educated through STEM certificates at local
