theimpact of their design on the environment and the society at large. This paper presents anapproach for revising a traditional course on reinforced concrete design to include an emphasison sustainability in all topics. This course is being referred to hereafter as Sustainable ReinforcedConcrete Design (SRCD) course.The major drawback of concrete is its environmental impact occurring along four phases:production of materials, construction, lifecycle, and demolition. The common critical elementbetween these phases is the polluting emissions resulting from embodied energy or chemicalreactions. The SRCD course will integrate sustainability into the planning, designing, andconstruction stages of reinforced concrete. It will emphasize strategies and

Scholars since my freshman year. Within the program I worked on my teamwork skills by participating in many volunteering and engineering events with fellow members. I also help plan events and projects for the program as a member of both the social and mentorship committees. As the Ohio State University Pistol Club Vice President I have gained valuable experience as a leader; teaching members how to properly and safely handle a pistol. Besides being involved with these activities I enjoy volunteering for my high school Science Olympiad team. I help coach and run events for the team when they attend invitationals in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. I enjoy going back to help the students learn more about science and

A video lecture muststate the facts as concisely as possible in the interest of time. A good video lecture includes theinstructor’s introspection and should be enthusiastic. However, there is only so much genuineenthusiasm that can be relayed in recorded format. Without interaction, student questions, andclassroom dialogue, it is difficult to inspire the uninterested to want to learn more; particularlywhen the material is not in their chosen field of study. Many times, those inspirational momentscome from a student inquiry or comment in class that the instructor did not plan or

Equipment lists in both paper and electronic format generally tended to beincomplete. Neither format seemed to have an impact on whether students plotted literaturevalues on the same plot as experimental data. We plan to use these assessment results to improvestudents’ performance on good laboratory notebook practice. On the instructor side, the gradingprocess was made simpler by the use of the ELNs, due to the ability to access the students’ workvia computer, as opposed to grading PLNs, where the graders physically remove the labnotebooks from the lab

In 1960,the metric system was renamed, the International System of Units (SI). In 1975, Congresspassed the Metric Conversion Act which established the United States Metric Board tocoordinate and plan the increased use of the metric system in the U.S. This board was disbandedin 1982. In 1988, Congress included additional metrication language in the Omnibus ForeignTrade and Competitiveness Act.

In SR simulation, student specifies the T1, T2 values, an excitation angle, the repetitiontime (TR), echo time (TE), and repetition number. Student will observe the vector animation andFID that is generated. In SE simulation, student specifies number of spins, e.g. 10, off-resonancefrequencies randomly distributed between -50 Hz and 50 Hz. Student can observe the animationof all these spin vectors and the aggregated FID signals.
