estimations for practical designs. b) Cool Roofing New technologies are now becoming available to finish roofs that can divert incoming solar radiation that heat up the top floors of buildings. Conventional asphalt and tar shingle roofs are being replaced with ‘green roofs’: rooftop gardens that absorb sunlight and moderate rooftop rainwater runoff. However, green rooftops may not be appropriate atop all buildings, particularly those with steep roof slants, or where regular maintenance is problematic. Group B proposed the use of a ‘cool roof’ coating, which is a pigment or coating that reflects sunlight and insulates the top floor of a building from heat that would otherwise be transmitted to the upper

The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology(ABET) for undergraduate engineering programs has defined a set of outcomes that theseprograms must demonstrate that their graduates have achieved. One of these outcomes (b)requires the ability to analyze and interpret data within the design and conduct of experiments,which frequently requires an awareness of and capability in estimation.

To achieve the design, recycling and reuse opportunitieswere developed for both plastic and hardened concrete used from testing as well as other residual aggregate solids.Processed water waste was minimized by the design of a settling and filtration recycling system. Both reductions inraw material consumption and economic savings realized by avoiding waste streams were measured in the study.The laboratory is used extensively by students preparing for

If the surface is a mirror finish with no roughness,the light would be reflected back along the same path directly towards the laser source. If thesurface contains a rough finish the laser light will still reflect most of its light back towards thesource, but a portion of it will become scattered. Some of the scattered light will find its wayback down the tube, but not collinear with
