Fish Passage Restoration for the Paskamanset River
River obstructions are contributors to the decline in the population of river herring in Massachusetts. Creating bypasses will benefit the herring by allowing them to migrate to further upstream to suitable spawning grounds. Two obstructions, Russells Mills Dam and Smith Mills Dam, were assessed to determine the possibility of fish passage restoration. To determine the feasibility of passage restoration, hydraulic and structural analyses were performed. Designs for new construction were prepared. Lastly, ecological assessments of the sites were completed

Transgenic Animals
This project examines the controversial topic of transgenic animals, and weighs its effects on society from both ethical and legal standpoints. It first focuses on the technology itself by describing how transgenic animals are developed, screened, and categorized in chapters-1 and 2. Then the transgenic controversy is discussed in Chapters-3 and 4 with ethics and legalities. From education, to medicine and industry, transgenic animal research has had an enormous impact on society. Based on the research performed for the project, the authors provide their own conclusions about this fascinating technology and whether it should continue
