Global Interests among First-Year Civil and Environmental Engineering Students
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Student attitudes about the importance of global issues, their interest in global issues, and their interest in working abroad were evaluated using surveys and content analysis of homework assignments from first year civil ...
Incorporating a Sustainability Module into First-Year Courses for Civil and Environmental Engineering Students
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As articulated in the Bodies of Knowledge for Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering, all civil and environmental engineering students should be introduced to the concept of sustainability. A sustainability module ...
Professional Licensure among Civil Engineering Faculty and Related Educational Requirements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Engineering education is an important part of the professional socialization process, communicating to students the importance (or lack thereof) of professional registration and licensure. This research benchmarked 74 US ...

Differences in Engineering Students’ Views of Social Responsibility between Disciplines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in student views of social responsibility by discipline, looking at student reasons for their choice of discipline and online messaging as possible explanations for ...
Multirater Feedback of Leadership of Underrepresented Groups in a Civil Engineering Capstone Design Course
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study examined self, peer, and instructor ratings of leadership behaviors in four areas: collaboration, creativity, organization/control, and competition for 98 students in one civil engineering capstone design course. ...
Physical Properties of Vegetable Oil and Chlorinated Ethene Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the abiotic interactions of soybean oil (SoyOil) and chlorinated ethene (CE) nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). The mixed NAPL density and interfacial tension behaved ...
Assessing Multicomponent DNAPL Biostabilization Potential. II: Aroclor 1242
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aroclors are dense nonaqueous-phase liquids (DNAPLs) composed of polychlorinated biphenyls, which are common subsurface contaminants. Because complete remediation of Aroclor is very difficult, biostabilization may offer ...
Bioclogging of Sand due to Biodegradation of Aircraft Deicing Fluid
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The biodegradation of propylene glycol (PG) and PG-based aircraft deicing fluid (ADF) at initial concentrations of
Hydrodynamic Changes in Sand due to Biogrowth on Naphthalene and Decane
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Biological activity in zones of chemical contamination changes the pore characteristics that control the flow of water and transport of dissolved chemicals in soils. To further the understanding of these processes, column ...
