The Environmental Engineering Department at Saint Francis University
is pleased to thank Gwin Dobson & Foreman Consulting Engineers of
Altoona, Pennsylvania for their generous donation of an Armfield
hydraulic flume. The flume is 2.5 meters long (center) and comes with a
large hydraulic workbench with pump (right).
This flume will be of great teaching and research value in the
department. It will provide a tool for courses such as Hydraulics &
Hydrology and Fluid Mechanics in addition to student research and real class
projects.
Standing with the flume are nine of our thirteen Environmental
Engineering freshman as well as their Introduction to Engineering
instructor Dr. Chenjie Wu. This freshman class will be the eighth class
to graduate the four-year, ABET Accredited Environmental Engineering
program at SFU. Gwin Dobson & Foreman Consulting Engineers has
supported the development of this program since its conception in 2008
with three students through its growth to currently more than fifty
students.
