This grant seeks to discover new methods to exploreconcrete and rebar structural health.

As both student performance and student interestplay key roles in persistence rates, the use of E3s should be beneficial to all students. If a facultymember chooses to only introduce one or two E3s into a course, choosing E3s that illustratetopics that students find the most challenging will result in the greatest overall increase

To complete an MQPsuccessfully, the student must formulate a problem, develop a solution, and implement itcompetently and professionally; be exposed to interaction with the outside world before startinga career; be able to work in teams; and communicate well orally and in writing.

They often provide a smaller, more intimate campus, and a greaterflexibility in class scheduling, with more evening classes. They also offer an opportunity to pickup remedial math and science for those who decide to pursue engineering too late to prepare forthat path in high school.6 With a transfer in mind, taking fundamental freshman
