Tessa Bailey, Environmental Engineering and Geoscience at the U of Utah, Week 7
I began my week, Monday morning in the lab with Ting. We checked the pH, took more water samples, and then sent them to the centrifuge. When that was done, I went to watch a experiment being conducted by Al Muatasim Al Nadabi, or Almo, a mechanical engineering masters student. For his experiment Almo tested […]

I started Monday morning in the lab with Ting. Over the weekend we had left CO2 running through a bottle of water and sand. From this water, we took samples and sent them to another lab to test. The results of these samples will tell us if we need to filter the sand or use […]

To begin my Monday, I designed a D20 Die. This shape of die is an icosahedron, which means it has 20 faces, hence the name D20. It is most commonly used in a fantasy board game called Dungeons and Dragons where a group of players take on roles of fantasy characters to quest through a […]
Tessa Bailey, Environmental Engineering and Geoscience at the U of Utah, Week 4
I started the week at my internship by downloading a 3D model of Mt. Sneffels, a fourteener near Montrose that I’ve submitted. From there I sent it to the library’s 3D printers to get modelled. While I waited for my model to be printed, I read some Python manuals that Zhidi suggested, so I would […]
Tessa Bailey, Environmental Engineering and Geoscience at the U of Utah, Week 3
After returning from Montrose on Tuesday, I continued my internship on Wednesday. I started the day 3D modelling. In the computer lab where I spend most of my time, there is a 3D printed model of a mountain range, so I was inspired by this to try to make my own! So, that morning I […]
Tessa Bailey, Environmental Engineering and Geoscience at the U of Utah, Week 2
On Monday I started the week with two new topics: another coding problem and an introduction to a chemistry lab. The coding problem can be done two ways: 3D or 2D. The 3D version, REV (Representative Elementary Volume,) is the most relevant to our lab as it represents samples taken from rocks that show the […]
Tessa Bailey, Environmental Engineering and Geoscience at the U of Utah, Week 1
Hi! My name is Tessa Bailey and I am a 2021 Pintern from Montrose, Colorado. I will be working at the University of Utah with members of the Environmental Engineering Department and the Energy and Geoscience Institute. I started the week on Monday getting introduced to my mentors and getting a tour of our office […]
