Did The Nae Changing The Conversation Campaign Introduce The Care Penalty Into Engineering?, Daniel B. Oerther
Did The Nae Changing The Conversation Campaign Introduce The Care Penalty Into Engineering?, Daniel B. Oerther
Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Over the Past Twenty Years, the National Academy of Engineering of the United States of America Undertook a Campaign Entitled, "Changing the Conversation." Explicit Intentions of the Campaign Included Raising Public Awareness of Engineering, Increasing the Total Number of Engineers, and Recruiting Historically Underrepresented Groups to Join Engineering. in Particular, Marketing Efforts Developed Inclusive "Tag Lines" Aimed to Diversify Groups Enrolled in Engineering and Increase the Diversity of the Professional Engineering Workforce. While Changes in Demographics Were Disappointing for Some Groups (I.e., Little to No Change Was Observed for People of Color), Generally, the Campaign Has Been Considered Moderately Successful …

A Redesigned Course Employing Blended Delivery, a Flipped Format, and Modified Mastery Learning with a Buffet Approach to Assign Final Grades Was Used to Teach Engineering Design to Approximately 25 Dual-Level (Juniors, Seniors, and First Year Graduate) Students Pursuing Baccalaureate Degrees in Environmental, Civil, or Architectural Engineering or a Graduate Degree in Environmental Engineering. the Course Replaced a Traditional Pedagogical Format that Used Lecture-Discussion Augment with Extended Homework Assignments and a Semester-Long Design Project, Which Focused on the Content of Designing a Wastewater Treatment Plants. the Redesigned Course Uses the Engineering Design Process to Improve the Local Food System, Which …
Promoting Enhanced Decision-Making And Proactive Management For Modularization In The Construction Industry Using Risk-Based Approach, Analytical Hierarchy Process, And Graph Theory, Mohamad Abdul Nabi
Doctoral Dissertations
"Modularization is an approach that can potentially mitigate many of the current construction industry’s challenges. Despite the documented advantages of modularization, the industry is still not able to capitalize on its full potential and benefits. The latter is due to the outdated decision-making models that may not reflect the multiple factors involved in modular construction, the unique source of risks associated with modular construction methods, need for continuous improvement, and complex contractual requirements and disputes. As such, the goal is to promote the use of modularization in the construction industry by enhancing decision-making and proactive risk management. The associated objectives …
Designing Exterior Lighting For Safety And Comfort While Minimizing Light Pollution, Energy Consumption, And Cost, Stephen Michael Simmons
Designing Exterior Lighting For Safety And Comfort While Minimizing Light Pollution, Energy Consumption, And Cost, Stephen Michael Simmons
Masters Theses
"Artificial light at night brings many benefits to society. However, these benefits do not come without costs. One environmental issue that is often overlooked in the design of public spaces and infrastructure is light pollution. At the expense of large amounts of energy, light pollution causes numerous harmful effects on human health, ecosystems, and the night sky. Today, the problem is becoming more widespread, especially with the increasing use of bright, white LED luminaires. Thus, it is imperative for designers and engineers to create smarter lighting designs that not only allow for safety and comfort at night but also promote …
Selecting Consolidation Procedures For Making Concrete Specimens, Paige Marie Toebben
Selecting Consolidation Procedures For Making Concrete Specimens, Paige Marie Toebben
Masters Theses
"The goal of this research was to reevaluate ASTM C31 Standard Practice for Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field, as well as deepen our understanding of the relationship between the consolidation process, concrete composition, and workability. An improved understanding of this area will help to reduce variability in concrete quality. The project involved evaluating the effect of different consolidation methods on concrete specimens with changing levels of workability. To do this, concrete cylinders were created with varying viscosities by adjusting the water-to-cement ratio (w/c) and water-reducing agent. More cylinders were created with varying paste volumes while keeping …
