GROUP+GOALS

=Eco-Machine Group Goals:=

1) Train Interns as Laboratory Technicians

This group is focused on the Eco-Design Laboratory that supports the Eco-Machine wastewater treatment and recycling facility. Interns will receive documented training as lab technicians in the following topics:

-MSDS sheets and chemical planning -General chemical and biohazard lab safety -Proper use of various pieces to lab equipment including drying ovens, incubators, analytical scales, etc... -Standard Methods and good work practices for the analysis of various water quality parameters -Data management

Interns will also become familiar with eco-machine technology -and wastewater treatment, generally- through informal tour/lectures by the mentor through the facility and through working with the real thing.

2) Provide real, hands-on lab experience running analyses while helping to generate Eco-Machine performance database

3) Generate an Eco-Machine Lab website = = =Eco-Machine Group Deliverables:=

1) Lab Website - this will be in lieu of a poster or video (as a group - see John Koo's individual project) 2) Summary of Eco-Machine performance data generated during semester 2) Lab Notebooks: Each intern will leave this course with a laboratory notebook that mirrors the lab's 'lab safety notebook.' This document will include all the major sections required to set up a real lab, including procedures for the analyses performed over the semester, and will serve as a great reference document for those students intending to continue with lab work.
