Larger TNAs havereplaced smaller ones or, more frequently, advanced digital simulation systems have taken theplace of TNAs. Occasionally, a TNA becomes available for university donation. The questionthen becomes how to install such equipment on limited university resources.In this paper, such a TNA provided an opportunity for undergraduate research and teaching.Through a series of projects, the TNA was installed and outfitted for use in both research andteaching. By combining the enthusiasm and ideas of the capstone design process with a solidlyfunded followup, a working tool became available. This paper begins with a synopsis of TNA’shistory, background, and initial installation

By allowing the senior design team to completesuch tasks as problem definition and project scheduling, essentially on their own, theundergraduate students effectively decided the level and type of design work that they would beundertaking. This method of integration ensures that the design aspect of the senior designproject is not taken away from the undergraduate students.From Mentor to Team MemberThe transition time from graduate mentor to integrated team member is something that must bedecided on a project by project basis. It is suggested that following the initial planning phase ofthe senior design project, the graduate student may be integrated into the team in order to helpwith the burden of initial research and solution

Further study of the project design and impact on students is plannedfor future semesters.IntroductionMost CUREs have been designed for laboratory courses or for joint lecture and laboratorycourses. This model works well for investigations in molecular biology or chemistry, but manycomputational research tools are taught in a lecture course only. There is evidence that lecturecourses can also be improved with the CURE model. The Genome Solver

However, once I began researching and was introduced to the different ideas and types of sustainable design aspects, I began to understand more clearly the importance it had. It definitely became clear why this is such a growing concern in the field of civil engineering. Personally, it was a design concept that I had not worked with in any of my prior courses and through senior project I became familiar with the idea.Conclusions and RecommendationsThe incorporation of the topic of sustainability into a well established senior project course atOregon Tech was met with positive
