This was reflected in one response, “We also knewthat the isolation would have an effect on the structure response however, we didn’t expect it tohave a huge impact. The results of our data was shocking to all of us.” Lastly, by using theisolators in the experimental test, the students had excellent insight into ways that these 3Ddevices can be improved for future applications as discussed in the next section. Overall, thestudy was effective in bringing a rather theoretical subject matter such as seismic isolation to lifeand increasing students’ ability to relate to the subject matter and begin to build upon
