General Education for Civil Engineers: Sustainable Development

Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice, 2008
The ABET criteria for engineering programs no longer has a requirement for humanities and social sciences but instead requires a general education component that complements the technical component of the curriculum. Achievement of the outcomes called for in the ABET criteria and the ability to apply the constraints listed in ABET Criterion 3 can be ...

Second Generation of Active Structural Control in Civil Engineering

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 1996
Abstract: Research and development in active control of civil engineering structures in the United States has approximately a 20‐year history. Under the leadership of the U.S. National Science Foundation in forming the U.S. Panel on Structural Control Research and in launching a program initiative in the area of structural control, there has been a ...

Next Generation Artificial Neural Networks for Civil Engineering

Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 2006
If we measure complexity in these simple terms as the number of primary processing units that can be employed usefully in an application then we can compare today’s general purpose digital computer to the brain of a rabbit comprising in the order of 10 9 neurons, while artificial neural networks have progressed no further than the brain of the humble ...

A new generation of concrete in civil engineering

Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2000
Abstract This paper presents current tendencies in the state-of-the-art in research on technology development in a new generation of cement-based concrete. The classification of such concrete and its characteristic physical properties that have been difficult to achieve up to the present time for so-called ordinary concrete are presented.

An Integrated Starter/Generator for a Large Civil Aero-Engine

3rd International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2005
*† ‡ § . This paper considers the feasibility of incorporating a switched reluctance starter generator within the high -pressure (HP) region of a large civil aero -engine, specifically in terms of achievable power densities, inverter rating, machine losses and the consequent cooling requirements. The high -pressure shaft of a typical large turbo -fan e

Educating next-generation civil engineers about smart structures technology

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
The implementation of smart structures technology in the design, construction and maintenance of civil and mechanical systems have been shown beneficial to the performance enhancement, operating efficiency and reliability of structural systems. However, most of today's engineering students are unaware of the remarkable properties of smart sensors and ...
