RISExamining the Effectiveness of Software Strategies and Student Perceptions of Software in Building-Centered Capstones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract A vital component of undergraduate engineering education is the capstone experience.
Many modern capstone projects require students—individually or in teams—to apply both
previously acquired and newly developed ...
A Problem Well Defined is Nearly Solved
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solving problems is simple. Understanding which problems should be solved is immensely challenging. Medical device design projects frequently begin with a search for solutions rather than a clear ...
A Top-Down Hierarchical Decomposition Approach for Generating Process Models to Aid BIM Data Exchanges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Process models are a critical component in the development of building information modeling (BIM) software interoperability advances, specifically with information delivery manuals (IDMs). These process models’ formulations ...

Comparison of Prognostic Health Management Algorithms for Assessment of Electronic Interconnect Reliability Under Vibration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper compares three prognostic algorithms applied to the same data recorded during the failure of a solder joint in ball grid array component attached to a printed circuit board. The objective is to expand on the ...
Premature Construction Start Interruptions: How Awareness Could Prevent Disputes and Litigations

Coal-Fueled Diesel Development: A Technical Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to describe and summarize the results of the Coal Fueled Diesel Engine Development Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Morgantown Energy Technology ...
Chloride Penetration Resistance of a Ternary Blend Lightweight Concrete Bridge Deck
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In 2010, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) launched a bridge rehabilitation project to rerate all truss bridges with gusset plate connections due to the federal mandate after the Minneapolis bridge collapse ...
Quasi-Time-Optimal Feedback Control of Some Fifth-Order Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A quasi-time-optimal feedback control approach is proposed for certain fifth-order systems with a single saturable control input. A pure integrator system is treated initially and the suboptimal ...
Factors Controlling Low-Cloud Evolution over the Eastern Subtropical Oceans: A Lagrangian Perspective Using the A-Train Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Lagrangian technique is developed to sample satellite data to quantify and understand factors controlling temporal changes in low-cloud properties (cloud cover, areal-mean liquid water path, and droplet concentration). ...
