strength is the sum of the shear strength of the concrete and theshear strength of the stirrups. Whereas for compression with no eccentricity, the nominal axialcompressive strength is equal to the compressive strength of the concrete plus the compressivestrength of the steel reinforcement.Discussion and ConclusionsThis “Best in 5-Minutes” paper outlined an interactive lecture used in a senior level ReinforcedConcrete Design course at Manhattan College. This lesson utilizes a popular quote attributed tothe Greek philosopher Aristotle to illustrate the mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete beams.It is common for some students to be initially intimidated by the technical nature of senior leveldesign courses. One of the purposes of this activity

An analysis is made of the demands for laboratoryfacilities, faculty, and functions of other service departments to deliver an engineeringtechnology curriculum in nanotechnology. Guidelines are provided for an innovative curriculumthat draws upon collaborations among faculty, departments, and laboratories. The suggestedguidelines can be modified to address the evolving needs of nano-technology education withoutloss of focus on engineering technology education.IntroductionIn 1959, Richard Feyman set the stage for research at the nano scale

These projects have several objectives:(1) to allow students to tackle a larger and more realistic civil engineering dynamics problem, (2)expose students to computational tools used in solving dynamics problems for which a closedform solution does not exist, (3) evaluate critical thinking and communication skills.

Lastly, with a longer service life and a growingpublic environmental awareness, product sustaining and recycling activities become moreimportant than ever.

By converting knowledge from local graduateand faculty researchers to a format accessible to freshmen, it is hoped that first-year engineeringstudents acquire the fundamentals of nanotechnology and develop an interest in this and otherareas of research.
