Education, 2015 Life Line Research to Vertically Integrated Classrooms via a Four- Point Bending Test of a PipeAbstract Research dealing with earthquake response of lifelines was brought to classrooms at apredominantly undergraduate urban university as part of an education, outreach, and trainingactivity centered on a simple four-point laboratory-bending test of a ductile iron pipe. AFreshman Civil Engineering Design class, a Junior Structures Laboratory class, and a GraduateStructures class participated by integrating the subject matter amongst these classes. Theexperiment simply represented the pipeline behavior subject to fault displacement by simplefour- point static bending tests. In addition, the ductile

Participation of Undergraduates in Engineering Research: Evolving Paradigms over Three Decades of ChangeIntroduction:Participation of undergraduates in research has received escalating attention over the last twodecades as a “win-win” situation for students, faculty, and institutions. It serves as experiential-and service-learning enhancement of students‟ total education and marketability, often within amultidisciplinary and honors context. Many institutions and government agencies haveestablished infrastructures to support undergraduate research. However, the author hasadvocated and mentored undergraduate research for nearly three decades, starting when it wasn‟tnearly as in-vogue as it is now. References 1

Even universities that emphasize teaching frequently have research expectationswhether it be disciplinary or documenting novel educational/classroom activities.
