  • 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...

  • Women engineering transfer students : the community college experience

    Creator:
    Patterson, Susan J.
    Abstract:
    An interpretative philosophical framework was applied to a case study to document the particular experiences and perspectives of ten women engineering transfer students who once attended a community college and are currently enrolled in one of two university professional engineering programs. This study is important because women still do not...

  • Learning to teach effectively : science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduate teaching assistants' teaching self-efficacy

    Creator:
    DeChenne, Sue Ellen
    Abstract:
    Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are important in the teaching of undergraduate students (Golde & Dore, 2001). However, they are often poorly prepared for teaching (Luft, Kurdziel, Roehrig, & Turner, 2004). This dissertation addresses teaching effectiveness in three related manuscripts: 1. A position paper...

  • 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...

  • Social capital in engineering education

    Creator:
    Brown, Shane
    Abstract:
    A theoretical argument is presented to suggest that engineering curriculum be designed to develop social capital. Additionally, the value of social capital in the retention of students in the College of Engineering, and the development, role, and value of social capital in an electrical engineering laboratory is evaluated. Data collected...

  • Engineering design and analysis of pipe ramming installations

    Creator:
    Meskele, Tadesse
    Abstract:
    The trenchless technology known as pipe ramming for construction of culverts and buried pipes under roadways or other infrastructure has gained significant popularity due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to alleviate surface disruptions associated with open-cut trenching. Although the experience with pipe ramming is increasing, there has been remarkably little...

  • Education of American research astronomers, 1876-1941

    Creator:
    Hall, Robert Dale, 1947-
    Abstract:
    The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941 is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes: the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading community of astronomers, the...

  • Second nature : domestication as experiment and metaphor in 20th century American psychobiology

    Creator:
    Blanchard, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    By 1900 domestication was a promising, if somewhat vexed, subject in biology. Volumes had been written about domestication, but little serious scientific inquiry was directed toward the phenomenon. Expertise lay with practical men, primarily breeders and fanciers. The bulk of scientific commentary on domestication came from anthropologists who derived theories...

  • The Science of Becoming Noble: Rationalizing Aristocracy through Diagrammatic Notations for Dance and Drill in the Age of Enlightenment

    Creator:
    Caulkins, Tamara L.
    Abstract:
    During the eighteenth century, diagrams increasingly became an important aspect of scientific inquiry. Diagrams employed simplification as a strategy for representing complex information, played a role in standardizing scientific language, and served as instruments of reason to think through and communicate problems and findings in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, natural...

    Creator:
    Gormley, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
    Abstract:
    L. C. Dunn (1893-1974) spent most of his scientific career conducting research in developmental genetics as a member of the Zoology Department at Columbia University in the City of New York. He had an accomplished scientific career researching mutations in mice, which earned him respect from other geneticists and scientists....
