Hey all!
First two weeks have been a success!
The boot camp was fantastic. I’d taken a class for fluid mechanics,
but the boot camp blew my mind in regards to the potential of fluid power. Both
the lecture and lab sessions were an exciting kick-off to a fruitful summer
experience. Apart from that, the other REUs are fun and intelligent people who are
really easy to talk to. I enjoyed spending time with you all and I hope we meet
again! Thank you to the CCEFP REU coordinators! Your attention to detail was
phenomenal and I couldn’t have had a better experience!
This first week at UMN, I’ve met my team and other
students/professors working on fluid power projects. My team has been welcoming
and helpful! Additionally, I’ve gotten my hands dirty playing with carbon fiber
and mineral oil (though not at the same time). I’m currently working to
construct a carbon fiber shell for the HAFO, working on CAD models for the
HAFO, and generally helping with other tasks. I can tell this is going to be a great
summer!
Cheers!
- Faith
