. Penguinshave a layer of blubber to keep themselves warm. The thickness of the layer of blubber depends onthe size of the penguin. For larger penguins, the blubber can be at least 2 to 3 centimeters thick whilethe smaller penguins have blubber up to 1 cm thick.

An innovation in this particular grant was the creationof a research collaboration between faculty and students at Lafayette and an NSF-fundedEngineering Research Center (ERC). As stated on the NSF website, “The goal of the ERCProgram is to integrate engineering research and education with technological innovation totransform national prosperity, health, and security.” To accomplish this goal, collaborationsbetween ERCs and other institutions are inherent in the work of an ERC; however, researchcollaborations between ERCs and small
