UMASS LOWELL FORMS NEW NASTT STUDENT CHAPTER By: Dr. Raj Kumar Gondle, University of Massachusetts Lowell Located on the northern edge of greater Boston is the University of Massachusetts Lowell, a nationally ranked research university with more than 17,000 students pursuing bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in six colleges. A growing urban public university, UMASS Lowell is committed to preparing students for work in the real world by providing affordable, highquality education. The university’s James B. Francis College of Engineering is named after the Chief Engineer who completed the 5.6 mile Lowell canal system as part of the first planned industrial city in the United States. The city of Lowell was established as a textile manufacturing center. Lowell was also the first urban national park as part of the US National Parks System in the US. The National Park Service is dedicated to preserving many of Lowell’s historic manufacturing sites in Lowell National Historical Park. A new North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) Student Chapter has been established at UMASS Lowell, within the James B. Francis College of Engineering, led by Dean Joseph Hartman to promote learning and greater understanding of leadingedge trenchless technology techniques. Students and faculty in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) are enthusiastic about actively engaging in trenchless activities. The CEE Department is widely known and has 16 dedicated full-time faculty members committed to teaching, research, and community service. Chaired by Dr. Pradeep Kurup P.E., it has long enjoyed a strong reputation of producing “work ready” engineers for New England and nationwide. The new NASTT Student Chapter will consist of highly qualified engineering students in the CEE Department and College who have shown interest in trenchless technology. The students are passionate, highly energetic and well informed. Tentative plans for the new Student Chapter include: (1) student participation in conferences, (2) inviting guest speakers who are industry leaders to discuss specific trenchless topics, (3) identifying trenchless projects and scheduling field visits for handson practice and experience with trenchless methods, and (4) conducting trenchless research under supervision of faculty. The students will also attend and contribute to the 2016 NASTT-NE Trenchless Conference being held on campus at the UMASS Lowell Inn & Conference Center, November 17, 2016. As a note of interest, a significant section of the Lowell Canal System with Locks is directly behind the Conference Center. The NASTT Student Chapter at UMASS Lowell will be advertised to encourage students who have not yet had any experience with trenchless technology to learn more about the trenchless world. Two UMASS Lowell graduates with degrees in Civil Engineering, NASTT- NE Chair Dennis Doherty and NASTT-NE Secretary Walter Fromm, will provide support and guidance to the student initiative. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Raj Kumar Gondle, Lecturer in the CEE Department, will serve as faculty advisor to the UMASS Lowell NASTT Student Chapter, providing oversight direction and assistance. Prior to joining the faculty, Raj worked as a research engineer at West Virginia University Research Corporation on several projects and taught civil engineering courses at West Virginia University. He received Outstanding Classroom Teaching Awards for his excellence in teaching. haleyaldrich.com Novel approaches for a better result. That’s the Haley & Aldrich way.
