John Bandas visited the Institute for Hydromechanics at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, between May and August 2008 to conduct research through the International Research and Education in Engineering (IREE) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF). This research consisted of laboratory experiments in dense plumes in a crossflow and sloping bottom, which resulted in the identification of qualitative features and model data. Two undergraduate students and one graduate student visited the IfH to conduct experiments in environmental fluid mechanics. This trip is part of Dr. Scott Socolofsky's CAREER award, which is working to develop models for international student exchange opportunities for engineering students with limited foreign language skills. This program allows the undergraduate students to attend three-month internships, complete an undergraduate thesis at the host institution, and receive independent study credit at their home institution. This program also allows the graduate student to utilize the host institutions laboratories to work towards completing her Masters of Science thesis.
