TEACHING ACTIVITIES Classes Taught at the University of Michigan At the University of Michigan, students are asked to rate their perception of instruction on a 5-point scale, with 5 representing ‘Strongly Agree’ and 1 representing ‘Strongly Disagree’. The first two questions in the survey are used by UM administrators as quantitative measures of the quality of the course. The first question (Q1) is ‘Overall, this was an excellent course’, while the second question (Q2) is ‘Overall, the instructor was an excellent teacher’. The following lists the average of the median values of UM-Q1 and UM-Q2. Course Name Number of

times taught Average number

of students Average

There are 16 items on the questionnaire, with the last question (Q16) being ‘Overall Assessment of Instructor’. UCF-Q16 is used by UCF administrators as an aggregate

of 24

representation of the course, the way UM-Q1 and UM-Q2 are used at the University of Michigan. The following lists the mean value of the UCF-Q16 on a scale of 1 to 5. Course Name Number of

CES-4101 – Matrix Structural Analysis 2 15 4.10

Curriculum Development Activities at the University of Michigan Expanded and refined CEE-413 (Design of Metal Structures). Introduced LRFD design and the use of

computer models for analysis and design. Also introduced new modules on structural systems for mid- to high-rise buildings and seismic design considerations.

Re-introduced and revamped CEE-510 (Finite Element Analysis) and CEE-611 (Earthquake

Engineering). Both classes had not been taught in UM-CEE for a number of years prior to my arrival. Made major changes to CEE-412 (Structural Analysis), replacing more than ½ of the course content with

a rigorous treatment of matrix structural analysis, a topic that is becoming increasingly important in industry, but remains in the realm of graduate courses in many universities across the US.

Curriculum Development Activities at the University of Central Florida First faculty member in the CEE Department to introduce a media-enhanced distance-learning version of

the Engineering Statics (EGN 3310) course. The new course reaches 4 remote locations (Brevard, Palm Beach, Cocoa Beach and Dayton Beach). Further information may be found at the class website at: http://reach.ucf.edu/~egn3310.

Developed an undergraduate matrix structural analysis (CES 4101 – Matrix Structural Analysis) course to

be used as a technical elective by Structures majors. The course requires students to write a space frame analysis program using MatLab programming language, and to develop simple, yet effective, graphical pre- and post-processors.

Participated in the development of the Introduction to Engineering (EGN 1006) class. This course is

intended to spark the interest of incoming engineering freshmen, and hence increase retention. The course involves a competition in which students are required to build balsa wood bridges, which are then load tested to failure. Student group with lowest weight to load ratio wins the competition.

of 24

Participated in designing performance assessment forms that are used to ensure compliance with ABET criteria. Prepared ABET oriented information and related forms for CES 4101, CES 4605, CES 5606, and EGN 3310.

Educational Enhancement Activities at the University of Michigan Acquired funds for and built the Computational Structural Simulation Laboratory (CSSL). The new

laboratory, which is housed in 2365 GGB, focuses on the use of simulation technology in structural engineering. It contains a compute cluster with 12 dual-processor Opteron nodes, a number of high end Xeon and Sun work stations as well as virtual and augmented reality visualization equipment. The lab serves graduate students working involved in computational structural simulation. One of the important educational products of the lab is virtual reality software that allows students to appreciate how structural systems deform under loading.

Developed (with colleague Tony Naaman and graduate student Dongjoo Kim) a new impact testing

machine for characterizing the high strain response of cementitious composites. Also sought funds for and purchased the required high speed instrumentation, including: a high speed data acquisition system, load cells and displacement sensors. The new machine forms the nucleus of a new impact testing facility for cementitious composites at the University of Michigan.

Serving (since 2004) as faculty advisor for the ASCE Student Chapter. As part of my duties, I oversee the

Concrete Canoe and the Steel Bridge Teams. The latter has achieved national prominence and brought great visibility to UM-CEE. It has ranked highly in ASCE national competitions since 2003, when it finished 1st for the first time in its history.

Educational Enhancement Activities at the University of Central Florida Took the lead in the planning and construction of the new $1M UCF structures lab (currently, second

largest in Florida). The new lab includes a 22 x 55-ft strong floor, 45-ft high ceiling, 20-ton crane, and other miscellaneous equipment. Used funds from NSF, UCF, industry and other local sources to purchase and install in the new structures lab $425k worth of structural testing equipment including: 60 g.p.m. MTS hydraulic pump, two 150 kip MTS servo-controlled hydraulic actuators, and a 128-channel data acquisition system. This equipment is used in the Structural Analysis Lab class and for research purposes.

Acquired several SUN Sparc I 170 work stations and PC computers. Funds were provided through

department funding and a number of research grants. These machines are mainly used for graduate research and education.

Supervised continued development of the computer program DYNAMIX, which is used to conduct

simulations of the response of bulding structural systems to seismic loading. Also supervised further development of the computer program COSBIAN, which is used to conduct analyses of steel, reinforced concrete, and composite cross-sections. The program was been ported to a PC for use in the graduate steel class (CES5606).

Co-PI for a project titled: Curriculum Integration of Math, Science, Chemistry, and Engineering Classes.

The project was funded by the College of Engineering of the University of Central Florida ($52k).

of 24

The primary objective of the project was to investigate curriculum integration of math, science, and engineering as a means for increasing student retention rates.

Educational Workshops Attended 2002, Attended a training course at MTS Corporation. The workshop focused on the use of FlexTest

controller software that will be used in the new UCF structures lab. 2001, Attended the Summer Institute at UCF. This one week training institute emphasized new teaching

technologies and student psychology. 2000, Attended the Summer Institute at UCF. This one week training institute emphasized teaching

strategies. 1996, Attended one week workshop on new teaching technologies. The workshop discussed how to

transform traditional classes into distance learning classes.
