What are Mountaintop Projects?
Mountaintop projects are interdisciplinary deep dives where faculty, students, and external partners come together and take new intellectual, creative, and/or artistic pathways that lead to transformative new innovations, new expressions, and new questions. We expect students to take radical ownership in their projects, and envision faculty mentors as partners and co-creators striving to propel their projects forward on the journey towards tangible, sustainable impact: impact which builds the skillsets, mindsets, and portfolios of pioneers and change-makers in a rapidly changing world.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS - Mountaintop Summer Experience
The 2020 Mountaintop Summer Experience program is now soliciting proposal abstracts
The MOUNTAINTOP SUMMER EXPERIENCE:
from Inquiry to Impact
Call for Abstracts for Summer 2020 program
Abstract due date: December 18, 2019
Full Proposals due (by solicitation only): February 16, 2020
Lehigh University faculty members are invited to submit proposal abstracts to inaugurate projects in the 2020 Mountaintop Summer Experience program (MTSE20). Mountaintop projects are interdisciplinary deep dives where faculty, students, and external partners come together and take new intellectual, creative, and/or artistic pathways that lead to transformative new innovations, new expressions, and new questions. We expect students to take radical ownership in their projects, and position faculty mentors as partners and co-creators striving to propel their projects forward on the journey towards tangible, sustainable impact: impact which builds the skill sets, mindsets, and portfolios of pioneers and change-makers in a rapidly changing world; impact which stands on the shoulders of giants and contributes to the world’s cumulative knowledge base; impact which advances praxis and delivers solutions to the most compelling challenges facing the world today. We invite faculty to define impact in their own way, in a multiplicity of ways, and inspire us to join their dreams.
Mountaintop projects offer a distinctive integrated pathway to learning, research, and engagement. Students are often amazed at what they are able to accomplish, and how their inquiries and intellectual journeys strengthen their agency and self-efficacy and inspire new personal and professional identities. For faculty, these projects offer opportunities to work with the highest caliber of self-motivated students at Lehigh and other partner universities. Faculty can leverage the MTSE to pursue inquiries that emerge from their own research, as long as students have substantive intellectual and creative freedom and contribution to the project.
The 2020 Mountaintop Summer Experience program will begin on Monday, June 1st and end on Friday, August 7th. Students who are accepted into Mountaintop teams will earn a stipend of $400 per week (total of $4,000 for the summer) for undergraduates and $550 per week (total of $5,500) for graduate students. Lunch will be provided to MTSE participants in Building C this summer (Monday-Friday), to facilitate continued work during the daytime hours as well as strengthen the MTSE community. Faculty mentors can request project expense budgets, not to exceed $1,500 per student on the team. Faculty mentors will also be given innovation dissemination funds of $750 per student. Additional funding is available when projects continue into the fall semester and beyond.
One-page (maximum) abstracts are due by 11:59pm EST on December 18, 2019 and should be submitted via email (PDF files preferred) to mountaintop@lehigh.edu. Abstracts will be reviewed by the Office of Creative Inquiry and full proposals (of not more than three pages) will be solicited by January 20, 2020, with a due date of February 16.
Submitted abstracts should include, at minimum, the following: key personnel (including the faculty PI and any co-PIs, plus any students who may already be involved); a 1-2 paragraph summary of the project’s goals, scope, areas of study, and potential for impact; and, an estimate of how many students you would request for your team and an estimated project budget.
Full proposals will be reviewed by 4-7 evaluators, who will provide feedback on five equally weighted criteria, the “5 C’s”:
-
Creative Inquiry - does the project propose to forge new ground, create new knowledge, or advance praxis in some field?
-
Convergence - does the project allow for a plurality of disciplinary approaches, methodologies, cultural perspectives, ways of knowing, doing, being?
-
Continuity - does the project have sufficient scope and intention to continue into the academic year and allow for multiple teams of students to participate over multiple semesters and years?
-
Community - does the project offer to contribute to a broader community of innovation in Building C over the summer, and will its participants be active members of that community?
-
Commitment to Impact - does the project propose to advance the world forward, solve a new question or problem, or otherwise create sustainable, lasting impact in some way?
Evaluators will provide open-ended comments on the proposal’s viability and feasibility. External evaluators, whether they are subject matter experts or actors in the relevant ecosystem (e.g. Bethlehem city officials), may be consulted when appropriate. Based on evaluations, proposals may be returned for further revision and resubmission. Final selections will be made by the Vice Provost for Creative Inquiry.
We seek citizens in our community of doers, thinkers, and creators who encourage, critique, and challenge one another on the path to excellence…and impact. In the history of the world, how will your Mountaintop project in the Summer of 2020 be regarded as the moment that changed it all? Let’s dream a little!

Beyond Bars: Redesigning Criminal Justice through Theatre and Social Change
This project will write and produce a play based on the experiences of currently and formerly incarcerated people. Observations and engagement in work done by local community organizations aiming to reduce inequality and working with individuals as they transition out of prison and back into their neighborhoods will inform this production about the criminal justice system’s negative impacts on people, families, and communities. The project will not only stage this production but also measure its impact on audience members' opinions of these issues before and after the performance. This is truly an exploration of how applied theater can motivate a diverse community to become mobilized in political reform.

The Biobank Network
Biobanks—storage facilities for biomedical supplies—are currently independent operators without a connected network to share information and locations. This project aims to eliminate that hindrance by creating a new mechanism for biobanks and those in need of biological material to find one another and conduct needed exchanges.
Lead Mentor: Ana Alexandrescu
Bone Growth v. Vascular Growth: Which Comes First?
The central question for this project is to define the relationship between bone growth and vascular patterning. For example, does increasing nutrient supply via blood vessels drive bone growth, or, do growing bones call on new blood vessels for support? Students involved in this project will address this question using the zebrafish regenerating fin. We have identified different strain backgrounds of zebrafish that exhibit differences in the length of bony fin ray segments and differences in the size and organization of blood vessels. Students can determine how best to manipulate these systems and begin to provide mechanistic insights into the drivers of tissue growth and size.

Breaking the Buchanan Street Wall: Using History to Foster Engagement Between Lehigh Students and Nearby Small Business Owners
Near Lehigh University’s campus is the vibrant, ethnically diverse 4 Blocks International commercial district. But it is an area Lehigh students rarely frequent; an invisible wall seems to divide Lehigh folks from the neighborhood. Using techniques of creative placemaking (storygathering with local merchants, web-based storysharing, and tours for Lehigh students) our team will work to foster dialogue and connections between the Lehigh University community, and these diverse businesses and their proprietors, in efforts to break down that imaginary wall.

Developing a Coding System to Assess Parent-Child Communication Quality in Diverse Contexts
Our project aims to develop a coding scheme that will capture the quality of parent-child communication in video during an 8-minute conversation between mother-child dyads who were part of the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project. The goal of this mountaintop project will be to operationalize differences in language use and non-verbal communication strategies across ethnically diverse high-risk mother-child dyads (who discussed areas of conflict in their relationship). Developing a tool to measure and evaluate these differences in a culturally diverse sample will allow us to identify how specific characteristics of parent-child communication relate to a range of family characteristics and child outcomes in diverse families. Our coding scheme will be made available to other researchers who do work on ethnically diverse families.

Do You Hear What I Hear? Development of a Cochlear Implant Simulation App
Spoken language is perhaps the most uniquely human behavior in the animal kingdom. Language is learned during a critical developmental period early in life, and learning potential falls from early adolescence. We owe much of our language ability to our parents and siblings; one can easily conjure the image of a mother repeating utterances back to their child often emphasizing misspoken syllables. This tutor/child interaction holds the inherent assumption that both mother and child hear speech similarly. For profoundly deaf cochlear implant patients, this is not the case. While remarkably successful at restoring hearing function, implants are constrained in the frequency domain, which limits discrimination of subtle but important elements of speech. Implant patient speech is often delayed compared to normal listeners. Our goal is to create a mobile implant simulator solution so that parents and caregivers can experience the acoustic world similarly to their implanted child. It is our hope that this will accelerate language development, and allow parents to gain a real-time appreciation of their child’s experience.

Forging Ahead through Engineering Leadership
Erwin and Ludwig Loewy changed the world with their engineering innovations in metal forming. Their ideas, and even the machines they built, are still in use more than half a century later, their history is known only to limited audience. The goal is to develop an interactive exhibit to maximize understanding of the Loewy technical accomplishments. Resources include the Loewy archives at Lehigh, a potential visit to company where forging presses are still in operation, and opportunity for partnership with the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.

Gambling on Community: Ten Years of the Casino in Southside Bethlehem
When Bethlehem Steel closed its doors in 1995, the Lehigh Valley lost a corporate employer and indeed a corporate icon. When the Sands Casino opened its doors in May 2009, the Lehigh Valley gained a new corporate employer and icon. Our film project will research and document the impact of the Sands Casino on the Lehigh Valley community, and in particular, Southside Bethlehem. Students will engage in public research methods, including the study of government documents, employment records, and city council minutes. We will also conduct an abundance of interviews with community leaders who can address the impact of the casino.

Human Interaction with Agile Autonomous Robots
Autonomous robots have been rapidly becoming an integral part of our daily life. Robots have great potentials to collaborate with humans in various applications such as search engines, self-driving cars, industrial robotics, medical surgeries, and surveillance. Fast real-time perception and control by a robot are the key factors for successful collaboration with humans. The objective of this project is to develop novel algorithms for perception and control in order to minimize risk of failures in human-robot interactions.

Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) Development of the Lehigh River Watershed
We are creating a highly immersive Virtual Reality (VR) space that can be used in multiple types of educational settings for students to investigate the ecology, history, and environmental issues of the Lehigh River watershed. Learning in a highly immersive VR environment will enable students to make better connections between science, social science, and decision-making contexts in their local environment, while promoting geospatial thinking skills. This VR learning space will be highly immersive and interactive to enable learners to personally feel a connection to the subject material.

In Search of the Fundamental Cause of River Meandering
River meandering has been attributed to the erosion and deposition of sediments along river banks, yet the fundamental cause of the instability has not been heretofore identified. In this project, we address the conditions that lead to the meander instability in the first place. Rivers are only one of many fluid systems that meander, and no other involves sediments at all. As such, a universal criterion is needed to explain meandering in general. We plan to show that meandering in all systems is driven by the existence of an adverse pressure gradient, such that the resulting deceleration imposed upon the fluid causes it to be energetically favorable to divert the flow to either side of its original direction.

Lehigh and the Valley: A Symbiotic Future?
There seems to be a standing narrative at Lehigh University that low-income communities in the Lehigh Valley perceive our institution as detached from its socioeconomic environment and as an elitist place catered to the privileged classes. The objective of this project is to engage these communities through adequately designed survey methods to asses to what extend this narrative is supported by evidence. The analysis and results are vital to inform the strategy, to be designed, to achieve one of the University’s long-term goals of developing a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship with low-income communities in the greater Lehigh Valley.

Lehigh Hyperloop: Exploring Campus Transportation
Given Lehigh University's expansion plans over the next few years, the Lehigh Hyperloop team is focusing on researching and developing a theoretical framework for safe and reliable autonomous transportation [on Lehigh's campus]. We will identify the areas with the greatest potential for impact, and develop solutions accordingly. At our project's completion, Lehigh will be better equipped to handle the future of campus transportation; ideally, our solution will also be scalable for industry use.
Low-Cost Diagnostics in Sierra Leone

Negotiating Privacy Boundaries: the Social and Collective Aspects of Privacy Management
Privacy is a fundamental concerns in communication and information technology. The management of information privacy becomes increasingly challenging when 1) personal information posted online gets seen by people we do not expect; 2) friends share information concerning us without permission; and 3) private information is collected, stored, and used by devices and systems unbeknownst to us. We no longer can protect our privacy on our own, but need help from the people and systems who access our private information. This project aims at exploring new possibilities for collaborative privacy management, developing new understanding, making new discoveries, and creating new tools.

The Neurogenetics of Creativity
Why are people different? Why are some resilient and others afraid to reach their goals? We are exploring possible genetic underpinnings of differences between individuals. We are also introducing proteins into genetic animal and seeing if mutant versions can restore functioning as well as the normal versions can. Single-molecule measurements can detect minute differences in binding affinity between them to reveal why the proteins function differently. This project can provide an explanation for why some individuals have difficulty overcoming traumas and fears. Ultimately, we hope the information can help to maximize people's potential and allow them to live their most creative lives.

Pop-Up Parklets: Increasing Quality and Walkability of Life in Smaller Cities
How can we develop and design simple urban spaces to build community and increase quality of life? Since the first Parklet appeared in San Francisco roughly a decade ago, these mini parks have begun serving as spots for outdoor dining, enjoying locally-made artwork, exercising, and socializing. While many Parklets now exist, few do in smaller cities and few, too, have been systematically and rigorously analyzed to determine what impacts they have on the people who use them and their surrounding communities. This project will fill this gap by designing and installing an inexpensive Parklet in Bethlehem, testing its effectiveness, and planning ways to replicate the project at other locations throughout the city.

Southside Permaculture Park
The EcoHouse Lehigh Southside Permaculture Park is designed to integrate the Lehigh and Bethlehem communities with each other and with the greater community of life. Through the creation of a park-like garden, we will create a space where anyone can come and see the diverse web of connections that exist between varied species to create a mutually supportive network of symbiotic relationships. An interactive website will accompany the garden so that anyone who visits can learn about all of the species, how they interact, how to care for and use them, and how to replicate this model elsewhere.

Squeezing Every Last Drop: Recovering and Valorizing Waste for Sustainability at the Energy-Water Nexus
This project will seek a game-changing paradigm aimed at near 100% recovery, processing, and ultimate monetization of organic matter from wastewater as a sustainable untapped economic resource and “silver bullet” solution to the burgeoning global demand for fresh water. Efficient recovery and conversion of organic waste would open new avenues to net-positive energy production that would make wastewater treatment an economic opportunity rather than oft-ignored legislative requirement. This diverse team of chemical, energy, and environmental engineers, economists, and urban planners will study how novel adsorbent technologies can be leveraged to meet technological, societal, and economic challenges at the water-energy nexus.
