We are looking for a bracket design that crosses a few engineering disciplines. The design should avoid entering confined spaces under manholes and in vaults to install radar sensors to monitor stormwater infiltration and inflow into the sewer lines. The bracket should adjust horizontally and vertically from the surface. The sensor needs to be within 3 meters of the wastewater level. The bracket must be resistant to H2S, quick to deploy, fall-in resistant with road vibration, and easy to remove if the manhole needs to be entered.

 
 

About

Our mission is to help bring the real-world into the classroom by providing engineering students with practical hands-on experience through industry-sponsored and client-based capstone design projects. Since its inception, the Learning Factory has completed more than 1,800 projects for more than 500 different sponsors, and nearly 9,000 engineering students at Penn State University Park participated in such a project.
