Curriculum synthesis and amelioration : a case study of undergraduate civil engineering

Creator:: Hamernik, Robert E.
Abstract:: The dynamic philosophy of education as applied to the undergraduate Civil Engineering program has been influenced by such factors as the introduction of new theories, the demands and needs of our society and the personnel responsible for teaching. These changes are reflected in the curriculum as witnessed by a historical...

Knowing Concepts in the Social and Material Context of Engineering Practice

Creator:: Bornasal, Floraliza
Abstract:: It is expected that information taught in the context of school will ultimately transfer to workplace settings. To support this transition, educators and researchers advocate for organizing foundational ideas, or concepts, in specific domains of knowing. In the domain of transportation engineering, knowing of concepts, which include "big ideas" such...

Problem Solving Personas of Civil Engineering Practitioners using Eye Tracking Techniques

Creator:: Gestson, Sean L.
Abstract:: Engineering practitioners solve problems in various ways; it is plausible that they often rely on graphs, figures, formulas and other representations to reach a solution. How and why engineering practitioners use representations to solve problems can characterize certain problem-solving behaviors, which can be used to determine particular types of problem...

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for Engineering Inspections and Geospatial Mapping

Creator:: Javadnejad, Farid
Abstract:: Small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) carrying consumer-grade nonmetric cameras are increasingly utilized to generate high-resolution 3D geospatial data. Low cost, ease of operation, widespread availability and low altitude maneuvering capabilities of UAS, as well as the rapid development of technology and methods, make UAS-based photogrammetry applicable to many civil engineering...

Advancing Spatial Data Engineering and Analysis: Integrative Approaches with GIS, Statistical Modelling, and Deep Learning

Creator:: Krivova, Maria
Abstract:: Geospatial data analysis is a multifaceted discipline encompassing the collection, processing, and visualization of diverse datasets. It models and delineates the interactions of people, objects, and phenomena within geographical spaces and predicts patterns based on the relationships between different locations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial data engineering and analytics over...

Engineering Services of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV): Investigation of the Land-Building and Energy-Attenuating Properties of SAV Habitats Across Spatial Scales

Creator:: Holzenthal, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) species, such as seagrasses, are highly valued in estuaries because of the many economic, ecological, and cultural services that they provide, including shelter for fisheries, minimizing water turbidity, and improving am-bient water quality. SAV can also alter its physical environment by attenuating wave and current velocities,...

Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

Creator:: Gestson, Sean Lyle
Abstract:: Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...

Roughness and geometry effects of engineered log jams on 1-D flow characteristics

Creator:: Valverde, Rachelle S.
Abstract:: The re-introduction of large woody debris (LWD) into streams and rivers for stream restoration purposes is rapidly growing. Engineered log jams (ELJs) are man-made structures intended to mimic natural LWD structures, designed and installed to protect stream banks from erosion while increasing habitat diversity. Several studies have evaluated the flow...

Seamless Topobathymetric River Mapping Through Multi-Sensor Data Integration: Lidar, Sonar, RTK GNSS and Structure from Motion

Creator:: Kellum, Kory and Kellum, Kory E.
Abstract:: Seamless, high-resolution topobathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) of rivers are important for generating hydrodynamic models, studying water quality and related ecological issues, modeling flood vulnerability, and numerous other applications. However, such DEMs can be difficult to generate, due to a lack of topographic and bathymetric source data. Even where the...

Experimental and numerical modeling of wave height attenuation by emergent coastal vegetation

Creator:: Blackmar, Philip James
Abstract:: Coastal vegetation dampens waves which can provide benefits to the local area, but existing literature shows large variations in the degree of wave height attenuation depending on plant properties and wave conditions. Better knowledge of how to predict the wave height decay accurately in different types of vegetation may help...
