Abstract: This paper describes a method for presenting concepts of sustainable development to first-year civil engineering students using pedagogical techniques related to critical thinking development. Sustainable development is ...

Abstract: The influence of anchor stiffness, inclination, and vertical spacing on the seismic response of multianchored retaining walls is investigated using the finite element method. Anchor stiffness was varied over several orders ...

Abstract: A finite element model is used to evaluate seismic behavior of static and seismic tiedback retaining wall designs. Two static designs are tested. The first design assumes active earth pressure resulting in a single‐anchor ...

Abstract: The development of engineering students’ professional skills has gained considerable national attention from Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, the National Academy of Engineering, ASCE, and other constituents. ...

Abstract: Although improving the relevance of engineering education through integrated courses has been discussed extensively, less attention has been given to the differences encountered in managing integrated as opposed to more ...

Abstract: The fast-moving world of information technology confronts the civil engineer with constant change. This creates challenges for educators and students because rapid change requires curricula to be flexible and educators to ...

Abstract: An integrated curriculum, which draws material from different areas to teach students about design and problem-solving, offers civil engineering educators an option for accommodating new topics without increasing the number ...
