She was recently involved in the development of a B.S. program in environmental engineering Dr. Masten’s research involves the use of chemical oxidants for the remediation of soils, water, and leachates contaminated with hazardous organic chemicals. Dr. Masten has been working etensively to develop water treatment technologies that are more effective and suitable for use in decentralized water treatment systems. Over the last year, she has also begun to evaluate water treatment technologies

This setupcan greatly assist students with thermal characterization requirements for testing materials in-house and reduce development time in capstone projects and research while allowing them tounderstand the fundamentals of heat transfer through practical applications. It is also a goodalternative for organizations looking into building their thermal characterization facilities.Keywords: Thermal Conductivity, Heat Conduction, Experimental Facility, UndergraduateStudent PosterNomenclature:k = Thermal ConductivityR = Thermal ResistanceT = Temperaturet = Timeq = Heat Flow

If desired, the instructor can provide leading questions or specific issues to be addressed inrelation to the overall weekly topic. The project will culminate in a significantly longer entry (minimum1000 words) tying weekly topics together by highlighting the common threads—the stated coursethemes—and using reason to make conclusions.
