Predictive Model Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Prashanta Kumar Acharjee, Mena I. Souliman Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering The University of Texas at Tyler. AbstractIn Mechanistic-empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), dynamic modulus |E*| is identified asa key property for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). Determining |E*| in the laboratory requires several daysof sophisticated testing procedures and expensive instruments. To bypass the long testing time,sophisticated testing procedure, and expense, several multivariate regression analysis-based modelshave been developed to predict

Students canappreciate how the theory given in the classroom is applied to advanced software to solve large andcomplex problems. IntroductionThe students of the Structural Analysis and Design program at University of Houston-Downtown,receive their instructions throughout lectures, laboratory practices, and software applications. Thesoftware used for teaching consists in customized spreadsheets and professional versions of advancedfinite element analysis software. In this paper the authors want to present the advantages of using afull version of RFEM® software1, which is able to analyze simple to complex structures

This is a limiting factor especially for large and fast-growing programs. Summerimmersion programs are usually short in their duration (2 weeks up to 10 weeks) [1-9], therefore,provide limited exposure to clinical setting and personal. Offering semester-based clinicalimmersion programs poses another set of challenges. Universities must establish hospitalaffiliation agreements and recruit clinical participants to supervise students. The number ofclinical participants needed to supervise students increases as the number of students increases.Field trips and visits within a course also require maintaining a long-term clinical

. Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences have shown to improve STEMretention and science identity [7], [8], [9]. Rather than identifying a small selective number ofstudents to work in a laboratory doing undergraduate research, the CURE model exposes anentire lecture or lecture plus lab course to research providing research experiences to all students.EM has shown to enhance student learning through supporting individual agency and self-efficacy leading to retention and persistence in STEM fields [10].

-traditional students brings a variety of engineeringskills and lifelong learning experiences to the MET program.The CourseThe Applied Fluid Mechanics course (MET 4100) is a senior level core course in the METprogram and the second in the sequence of fluid mechanics coursework, following Fluid &Hydraulic Mechanics (MET 2050). This four-credit hour (ch) course consists of a 3ch lectureand a 1ch laboratory. During the Fall 2021 semester, the course was offered face-to-face oncampus. To increase the accessibility to the lectures for those students not able to attend them inperson due to COVID issues, the authors developed the course more like a “blended” experience,using Blackboard platform to post lectures, course materials, instructional aids, and

FERL is a direct result of thevision and dedicated effort of Retired Brigadier General David O. Swint to improve the learningof students in this unique course. FERL is where engineering practice and education areuniquely combined in a hands-on construction environment. In addition to improving thelearning, FERL was intended to increase interest in and motivation to study civil andenvironmental engineering.

However, there have been few efforts to usesimulations to facilitate the integration of engineering design with scientific inquiry (e.g.,Capobianco et al., 2013; Magana et al., 2021).
