• Kevin McFarland of the University of Rochester had Susen Clark and Paul Pavone test the long term stability of scintillating crystals to be used as reference standards for CMS; these two teachers also built a "muon telescope" cosmic ray detector for classroom demonstrations.
• John Hauptman of Iowa State University wrote the work of the Iowa Center, "Nural Akchurin in Iowa City and I in Ames have a lot of good work to do, and Jeff [Dilks] and Peter [Bruecken] were right in the middle of it. Peter analyzed radiation damage data, designed and built mechanical mounts for a new calorimeter, and next week will start taking data in the LEP injector beam at CERN…Jeff was responsible for designing and building a new calorimeter in Ames, testing it at CERN this summer, and analyzing data from it."
• Ulrich Heintz at Boston University involved Rick Dower in using LabView to write interface and data collection software to measure the voltage/current characteristics of a silicon tracker wafer to be used in D0. He did this and then repeated his measurements in a neutron beam generated by the low energy (~4 MeV) proton accelerator at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell to test the effect of radiation on the wafer.
• Alex Dzierba of Indiana University had David Blair testing PMTs at IU and involved in a PMT test using photons produced by the electron beam at Jefferson Lab.
• Randal Ruchti of Notre Dame charged LeRoy Castle and Dale Wiand with the task of designing Optical Decoder Units (ODUs) for CMS and working on how to best house them. Both teachers became involved in negotiation with other CMS production sites to find satisfactory solutions.
