Architectural Engineering

Professor of Architectural Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. She has been on the faculty at Penn State since 1998. After receiving her PhD in 1994 from Virginia Tech, she served on the faculty at the University of Miami before joining Penn State. Dr. Hanagan has focused most of her research career on floor vibration serviceability, with a strong emphasis on steel structures. She has overseen dozens of research projects, participated in several committees, supervised many students, and written numerous papers that have contributed to the body of knowledge in vibration serviceability. While Dr. Hanagan’s primary research interest has been in the vibration serviceability of structures, one of her greatest

should be introduced in early stage of the curriculum. For instance, Introduction to Probability and Statistic is a required course in many university curriculums. The class is essential to understand performance-based design, which involves various sources of uncertainty. The class should also emphasize the probabilistic aspect of society and environmental impact. When construction material class is taught, material selection should be considered from both structural performance and sustainable built material perspectives. Second, design courses and capstone projects provide an opportunity for students to apply what they learn in classrooms about PBE and sustainability to “real world” examples. Working on

In addition, math/calculus has been cited by students who switch awayfrom engineering as the most influential factor in their decisions. This paper describes anapproach to improve engineering student persistence when learning calculus without having tomake any changes in the current calculus curriculum. This approach is one the methods used inan NSF-funded initiative (Project DUE-0942270) at the University of North Dakota.

First, an on-going research project results on model-based testingand formal methods are incorporated into this course. Model-based testing is an importantfeature of Model-based Design (MBD) methodology, which can be used to check whether thedesign model satisfies the functional or nonfunctional requirements like timing. An automatedformal method Model Checking, which is one of the most commonly used formal verificationtechniques, is exposed to students. It has been applied to deriving test cases from real-timedesign models. Second, students are introduced

humanitarian system/project is defined as, “an effort that has as its objective, theimprovement of a person or community [3].”The techniques to reduce complexity to the point where an achievable concept may be defined,are rooted in the practice of system architecture. From [4], architecture is defined as, “anabstract description of the entities of a system and the relationship between those entities.” Thearchitecture derivation starts by defining the functionality required to meet the higher levelconcept across all technical, social and economic domains. The architectural process thenderives the physical/logical instantiation of the system from the derived lower level functionality(i.e. Form follows Function [5]) and boundary properties. The system

Within the past few years an increased interest has been shown regarding marine renewableenergy and its applications. The overall goal of this project was to develop and test an economicallyand technically feasible offshore platform to house a vertical axis wind turbine and an underwatercurrent turbine, known as dual turbine platform (DTP), that can provide sustainable andecofriendly energy, relieving the operation of diesel generators for aquaculture farms. In anoffshore DTP design, the wind interacts with the unsubmerged parts of the floating platform, windturbine blades, hub, and tower, while the current and waves interact with the portion of the systemthat is submerged, i.e., mooring lines, current turbine, and submerged portion of the

Some of these skills included: written communication,programming, hands-on building, teamwork, project management, using machine shop tools, andoral communication. Students’ resulting perceptions of which skills are “very important” andwhich they are “very confident in” design suggest the need to explore alternative assessmentmethods.

In the educational sector, virtual reality is used to demonstrate andfacilitate learning in a flexible and efficient manner. According to Yildirim et al.
