Teaching aids and laboratory experiments are an effective method ofdemonstrating important concepts and can be used to enhance the learning of structuralmaterials.IntroductionMany civil engineering curriculums require at least one course in materials and materials testing.These classes provide students the basic knowledge and understanding of the production,properties, testing, and behavior of common structural materials. A large emphasis is placed onconcrete, steel, and wood due to their wide use and availability in the design and construction ofstructures.

calculations quickly, but unfortunately can only plot in one dimension, and the results are still difficult to visualize. To address these limitations a Geographic Information System (GIS) based custom application was developed that coupled ESRI’s ArcMap 9.1 with Matlab. Using inputs of stack height, wind speed, atmospheric stability, and source emission rate, the application creates an array of downwind ground level plume concentrations that are plotted onto a city map. The sum of these concentrations on the city’s features such as schools are calculated. Though this application creates only a simplified model of the atmospheric dispersion process, it proves valuable in instruction since it is

Many reasons couldcause this: stigma surrounding disability either from peers or instructors, lack of previousdocumentation for their disability, high financial or time requirements for acquiring formaldocumentation, or the perception that offered academic accommodations are not sufficient forfulfilling needs, among others.

An American by the name of Malcom McLean is credited withthe invention and patenting of the cargo shipping container. His success in owning the 5th largesttrucking company in the United Sates (McLean Trucking Co.) allowed him to branch out tomarine transportation. After purchasing the Pan-Atlantic Steamship Company in 1955, he beganexperimenting with different shipping methods. It was during his time as owner of the companythat his idea for the modern cargo container came to existence.
