|
The following education, outreach, and training (EOT) program will be implemented with a focus on educating the next generation of engineers:
- The experimental and simulation results obtained in this study will serve as an excellent source for students enrolled in Dr. Zhao’s Advanced Concrete Design (Spring 09) at UWM, and Dr Shahrooz’s Structural Dynamics II (Spring 08) at UC.
- The general public and policy makers will be exposed to engineering research using NEES through an annual engineering open house and the ASCE student chapter outreach programs both at UWM and UC.
- The research team will create research opportunities (e.g., implementation of virtual laboratory experiments) for students from underrepresented groups enrolled in WiscAMP’s Undergraduate Research Collaborative (URC) and Sophomore Research Experience (SRE) programs (led by Douglas Harder). Underrepresented undergraduates will be recruited from the University of Cincinnati Minority Engineering Program: Emerging Ethnic Engineers Program (E3).
- The research team will help develop professional seminars for the program to transfer engineering research to secondary school technology teachers and to encourage K-12 students and teachers to explore new areas in engineering.
