EOT is an important componant to the Center for Geotechnical Modeling. Please contact our EOT coordinator, Jenny Chen, 530-752-7929, for further information on participating in one of our upcoming activites, or on customizing a program to fit your needs.
Education The Center offers several different educational opportunities for K-12, undergraduate students, graduate students, and community.

These students will partcipate in a variety of research projects, and will complete and then present a research paper at the Young Researchers' Symposium this fall. Past projects were done on silts, and metadata. Outreach The Center offers outreach via tours and web presentations throughout the year. Training The Center for Geotechnical Modeling at University of California, Davis, in conjunction with The Geotechnical Centerfuge Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, present the annual NEES UCD/RPI Centrifuge Training Workshop. Each year, a multi-day training workshop is held, at alternating campuses. RPI will be hosting the 5th annual workshop, November, 2007. Please contact Jenny Chen, for more information.
