He retired from the Army with the rank of Colonel in 1978 and joined the chemical engineering faculty at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

At Cornell, Prof. Streett carried out research in experimental studies of fluids at low temperatures and high pressures, and in computer simulation of molecular liquids. He was appointed Associate Dean of Engineering for Graduate Study and Research in 1981 and was appointed Dean of the Cornell College of Engineering in 1984, a post he held for the next 10 years. He retired from Cornell University in 1995.

In 1996, as a result of his interest in acoustic techniques, Professor Streett, working with the inventor of Impact-Echo, Professor Mary Sansalone (see link below) created the first Windows-based software program for impact-echo. In 1997 they founded a company, Impact-Echo Instruments, LLC, to manufacture and sell impact-echo equipment.

William (Bill) Weber, Vice President of Sales

After a brief career in the aerospace industry with United Technologies, Mr. Weber joined Corning, Inc. and became the senior manager of the Ceramic Process Research Dept in Sullivan Park, New York. While at Corning he developed unique ceramic extrusion machinery used in the formation of Celcor™ ceramic substrates for catalytic conversion of automobile exhaust.

After leaving Corning, Mr. Weber started consulting in the ceramics and solar energy fields, and joined Imaging and Sensing Technology Corp. In 1997, Mr Weber joined Professor William B. Streett, forming Impact-Echo Instruments, LLC. At first, he was responsible for setting up a manufacturing facility. He than became the Vice President of Sales and Marketing, the position he currently holds.

Mr. Weber studied Mechanical Engineering and Physics at Yale, Stanford, and Oxford, and holds two US patents.
