Unsaturated Soils and Foundation Design : Theoretical Considerations for an Effective Stress Framework

Creator:: Baker, Josiah D.
Abstract:: This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and...

Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

An Exploration of Faculty Sensemaking in the Adoption of Course Social and Cognitive Engagement (CSCE) Surveys

Creator:: Ironside, Allyson J.
Abstract:: The work of engineering education researchers has resulted in the development of research-based instructional strategies (RBISs) aimed at providing educators with means to increase student learning. Research has shown that there is a disconnect between the development of RBISs and their use by educators. Means to make new practices more...

Student Engagement : Exploring How and Why Students Engage In- and Out-of-Class

Creator:: Pascoe, Jason J.
Abstract:: Student engagement in a course plays a vital role in a student’s ability to process and construct knowledge. Student engagement research has investigated how students engage in and out of the classroom on a macro scale, through observation and survey data collection of large student populations, which lack focus on...

Evaluation and Modification of a Thixotropic Fluid Model for Liquefaction Triggering with Application to Laboratory Tests and Lateral Spreading

Creator:: Brown, Tovey M.
Abstract:: Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a large contributor to damage observed following seismic events. Commonly observed damage consists of significant ground and structural failure due to the deformation of large volumes of soil due to soil liquefaction and lateral spreading. A significant focus of geotechnical seismic research concentrates on the development and...

A Numerical Investigation of the Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Salt-Encrusted Flat Sabkha

Creator:: Refaei, Raied
Abstract:: Salt-encrusted flats, or Sabkha, are common in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide, including coastal and inland areas. Due to their low shear strength and high compressibility, these soils are often unsuitable for supporting infrastructure or structures. The unique salt content of sabkha formations sets them apart from other soil types....

Development of Authentic Engineering Curriculum through Collaborative Development: Research on Development and Adoption

Creator:: Cross, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Background: Studies indicate that problems utilized in traditional undergraduate engineering education do not adequately prepare students for the workforce. Calls to implement authentic, ill-structured problems into upper level engineering experiences may address this issue but adopting authentic engineering problems without considering barriers to adoption of faculty has not been fully...

Exploring Civil Engineering Undergraduate and Practitioners’ Performance on Strength of Materials Concept Inventory

Creator:: Sanchez, Dominga
Abstract:: Preparing successful engineering undergraduate students for the workforce is imperative and requires students to apply their conceptual understanding of engineering fundamentals to engineering design work. Conceptual understanding is assessed through the use of concept inventories. Learning theories may help explain differences in concept inventory performance. Expert novice theory suggests that...

A State of Practice of Safety and Big Data in Transportation Engineering Curricula and in Transportation Design : How is it Used and How can Academic Offerings Better Represent Industry Practices?

Creator:: Castro, Edgar D.
Abstract:: Improving safety education could contribute to the preparation of better professional engineers. Safety topics are not holistically embedded in transportation course curricula. This thesis explores the current state in which safety is being incorporated in transportation course curricula in terms of design and compares the uses of safety data in...

An Investigation of Student Cognitive Engagement in the STEM Classroom—A Compilation of Faculty and Student Perspectives

Creator:: Barlow, Allyson J.
Abstract:: Student engagement has been the focus of much engineering education research, in large part due to its ties to student learning. Widely considered to be a meta-construct, student engagement is often broken down into behavioral, emotional, and cognitive components. Reasons for ongoing research on student cognitive engagement are twofold: educators...
