North Carolina State University's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department allows (and encourages) undergraduate students to conduct research. In return, students can get class credit for a "technical elective". I was able to work in Dr. Matthew Bryant's Intelligent Structures and Systems Research Lab (iSSRL) working on the restoration of lab equipment obtained from Cornell, to be used for Fluidic Artifical Muscle testing. Below I have posted several of the reports I completed during this research project. Additional information regarding this research can be found on the iSSRL Webpage.
