mechanical engineers joined the team with Perseus II identified astheir senior design.The solution to filling out the rest of team was enabled by the ability of qualified undergraduatestudents at Stevens to participate in independent research. Several steps were taken to address thechallenge of filling out the rest of the team. The most important step came from the initial 2mechanical engineering students. The networked nature of students and the campus allowed forthe team to begin to self-form. The initial 2 students identified potential participants who had thenecessary abilities and a reputation for hard work. These students were contacted and those thatexpressed an interest were interviewed by the project advisor. If after the interview the

It is also essential to understand that successful development requires a thoroughlyconsidered and organized approach which includes an efficient, disciplined direction fromextensive planning, analysis and documentation. Developing innovative technology will quicklyintroduce risks; therefore it was of the upmost importance to consider the most promisingtechnological approach that included the associated risks and thus eliminated those thatoutweighed the rewards.

It is expected that the students working on theproject will appreciate the vastly different loading conditions used for marinas as compared tothose used in other classes in the curriculum that teach building design. Design for dead and liveloading for fixed pier type structures will be somewhat similar to what is taught in reinforcedconcrete design for cast-in-place one way slabs. Emphasis will be placed on concrete crackingand corrosion protection of reinforcing steel. Environmental loads will be treated as acting onthe piers themselves (i.e., seismic) and as the result of mooring system loads (i.e., wind, current,wave) that keep the boats
