- CEE Faculty Participate in Engineering Program for Teachers
- Three CEE professors are hosting high school math and science teachers in a unique summer immersion program called "Nature InSpired Engineering" (NISE). Pei Chiu, C.P. Huang, and Paul Imhoff are among the seven College of Engineering faculty participating in this summer’s program.
- Shenton Appears on Sundance Channel
- Tripp Shenton, Interim Chair and Professor of Civil Engineering, was recently featured on a Sundance Channel "webisode" that highlighted the use of chicken feathers to make hurricane-resistant roof panels. The work was done jointly with Chemical Engineering Professor Richard Wool, whose ACRES research program focuses on affordable composites from renewable sources.
- Dentel Wins Slocomb Award
- The time, energy, and emotion that Dentel has put into EWB were recognized in May 2008, when he was selected to receive the Slocomb Excellence in Teaching Award from the College of Engineering. Dentel was cited for his "caring attitude toward students in the College and demonstration of an exemplary commitment to public service, community involvement, and innovative activity."
- Huang and Myoda Win Horner Award for Paper Documenting Novel Water Treatment Method
- Chin-Pao Huang, Donald C. Phillips Professor, and Samuel P. Myoda (PhDEnvE2001) have been selected by the Environmental Water Resources Institute (EWRI) to receive the 2008 Wesley W. Horner Award for their paper "Sonochemical Treatment of Wastewater Effluent for the Removal of Pathogenic Protozoa Exemplified by Cryptosporidium."
- Civil Engineering Student Wins 2008 Laird Fellowship
- Nicole Walsh, a first-year master's degree student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, has been selected to receive the 2008 George W. Laird Merit Fellowship. The objective of the fellowship is to "encourage the recipient to become engaged in a broadening intellectual pursuit which may or may not be of direct application to the recipient's chosen field of study."
- Prof. C.P. Huang Wins UD's Francis Alison Award
- Chin-Pao (C.P.) Huang, Donald C. Phillips Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, has been named the 2008 recipient of the Francis Alison Award, the University's highest faculty honor. Established by the Board of Trustees in 1978 to recognize the scholarship, professional achievements, and dedication of the UD faculty, the award consists of a $10,000 prize and confers membership in the Alison Society.
- Study Abroad Program Offers Engineering Students a 'Double-Header' in Australia
- Prof. Sue McNeil may be an Australian native, but that’s not why she took a group of students to Melbourne for a Study Abroad program over Winter Session 2008.
“The city has a phenomenal network of trains, trams, and buses,” she says. Melbourne’s world-class public transportation system provided fertile ground for the civil engineering professor to teach CIEG351, Transportation Engineering, from a new perspective.
- Ancient Greek Structures Provide an Education in Structural Integrity
- For most American college students, monuments like the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, the Acropolis, and the Temple of Poseidon are the stuff of mythology and ancient history. But thanks to a new Study Abroad program, a group of engineering students at the University of Delaware had the chance not only to see these places but also to learn about their construction history and structural details.
- Workshop at UD Addresses Sustainable Landfill Modeling
- From March 16-19, 2008, the University of Delaware's Virden Center was the
setting for an NSF Workshop on Models for Sustainable Landfills. Co-organized by UD-CEE Associate Professor Paul Imhoff with Shannon Bartelt-Hunt from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Mort Barlaz from
North Carolina State University, the workshop brought together landfill researchers from around the world to identify research needs and discuss
promising approaches.
- UD team wins regional steel bridge competition
- UD's steel bridge team came home last weekend from the Mid-Atlantic regional competition at Lafayette College with a first-place overall finish, as well as firsts in four of the six award categories. That performance qualified the team to participate in the national Student Steel Bridge Competition (SSBC) at the University of Florida in Gainesville over Memorial Day weekend.

Swash zone shear stresses
Here, narrow regions of high onshore directed stress are observed to occur alternately between broad regions of smaller magnitude offshore-directed stress provided by skewed wave motions in the surf zone. Variations in the stress magnitude are also observed along the wave propagation direction and are related to the variations in wave dissipation at the bed and likely a lower-frequency wave component in the wave basin.
