   abstract: IntroMy role focuses on the design, construction and testing of both
     models and full scale hydraulic structures related to fish passage in support
     of ongoing research projects.  I take both conceptual designs and specific fish
     passage structures and prepare construction drawings for both modeling and full
     scale structures, purchase the necessary materials, oversee the construction
     and prepare all the necessary hydraulic instruments and components for the testing
     phase. In the testing phase my responsibilities revolve around data acquisition
     and reduction of data in support of the Principle Investigator in charge of
