Compendium of Civil Engineering Education Strategies
This book compiles the latest strategies and information regarding civil engineering education, and the skills necessary for success that are tangential to engineering, including global perspectives, critical and design thinking skills, leadership skills, assessment, recruitment, retention, and more. It is designed so that each chapter can be used separately or in combination with other chapters to help enhance and foster student learning as well as promote the development of skills required for engineering practice. Features Includes overviews of successful academic approaches for each topic including implementation examples in every chapter Explains how assessment and the resulting data ca...
The Communicative Engineer
THE COMMUNICATIVE ENGINEER Application-oriented communication guidebook designed for engineering students and practitioners to improve their asking, listening, writing, speaking, and use of visuals Practicing engineers spend about half their time communicating ideas, facts, and feelings but invest only a small part of their formal education learning how to communicate. The Communicative Engineer addresses this gap. When used as a textbook for students or resource for practitioners, this book shows engineers in all disciplines how to use five communication modes—asking, listening, writing, speaking, and visuals—to participate in or lead successful engineering projects and achieve professi...
Infusing Ethics into the Development of Engineers
Ethical practice in engineering is critical for ensuring public trust in the field and in its practitioners, especially as engineers increasingly tackle international and socially complex problems that combine technical and ethical challenges. This report aims to raise awareness of the variety of exceptional programs and strategies for improving engineers' understanding of ethical and social issues and provides a resource for those who seek to improve ethical development of engineers at their own institutions. This publication presents 25 activities and programs that are exemplary in their approach to infusing ethics into the development of engineering students. It is intended to serve as a resource for institutions of higher education seeking to enhance their efforts in this area.
Masonry
Papers from a June 2006 symposium report on recent work in cement, lime, mortars for unit masonry, and manutactured masonry units. Some specific topics covered include investigation and repair of glazed brick cladding, the benefits and problems of ASTM C 1324 for analyzing hardened masonry mortars, time-of-cooling effects on mortar joint color, and the selection and use of natural and manufactured stone adhered veneer. Other subjects examined include defection criteria for masonry beams, the effect of void area on brick masonry performance, seismic evaluation of low-rise reinforced masonry buildings with flexible diaphragms, and greening of mortars. B&w photos and illustrations are included. Trimble is affiliated with the Brick Industry Association. Brisch is affiliated with Rockwell Lime Company. There is no subject index.
