The Sustainable Composite Materials in Civil and Architectural Engineering

architectural education in civil engineering challenges and future development

development of the structural form is directly influenced by the architectural concern for aesthetic appeal. the architectural challenge is to create building forms that satisfy the functional requirements, yet are aesthetically and economically successful. the structural challenge is to create structural forms that accommodate the functional requirements while supporting the imposed loads as e...

Sustainable Engineering Systems – a new approach to civil engineering education

The increasing awareness and requirement for sustainability in undergraduate programmes has led to the development of a Design of Sustainable Engineering Systems (DSES) theme throughout the Newcastle University undergraduate programmes. This case study focuses on the development of the level 6 module in DSES. This module is a 40-credit design-based module that integrates all of the formal taugh...

Knowledge and Asset Management in Sustainable Civil Engineering

This special issue aims at fostering the dissemination of high-quality research in methods, theories, and techniques concerning the application of knowledge and asset management in sustainable civil engineering. Similar to that of other special issues, the selection process was rigorous and only articles with good quality could be accepted. We, as editors, would like to thank all of those who h...

Early Experimentation with Civil Engineering Materials

A new project-based teaching method emphasizing laboratory experimentation is being used at Lawrence Technological University. It has excited and energized the students about civil engineering applications. Engineering concepts are introduced early in the students’ academic careers using civil engineering materials. Laboratory activities related to a Civil Engineering Materials course are being...
