Arthur Chlebowski received his M.S. and Ph.D. from the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University in 2009 and 2012 respectively, where he worked towards the development and integra- tion of an implantable pressure monitoring device for Glaucoma. He then went on to work at the Jackson Laboratory in the Simon John Lab, continuing his research as a post doc and research scientist. In 2014, he took a position at the University of Southern Indiana in the engineering department, slightly switching his focus to external monitoring devices. He has taught upper level and lower level courses regarding engineering, including the programs introductory freshman design course.David J. Ellert PE, University of Southern

With support fromthe Department of Education Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program(MSEIP), a cooperative internship program between Cañada College, a Hispanic-Servingcommunity college in California’s Silicon Valley, and San Francisco State University (SFSU), apublic comprehensive university was developed to engage community college students inleading-edge engineering research. In summer 2016, five sophomore students from CañadaCollege participated in a ten-week computer engineering research internship project in theIntelligent Computing and Embedded System Laboratory at SFSU.

The pump is used to transfer water from the reservoir to anoverhead tank and the level is reported real-time by the level sensor. The manual valve connectsthe overhead tank to the reservoir and water from the overhead tank is circulated back to thereservoir when the valve is open.
