CEE 204: Statics

Instructor

Old Dominion University

Fall 2024 (Enrollment: 19)

This course serves as a gateway to the fascinating world of statics, a fundamental area of engineering mechanics that focuses on analyzing forces in systems at rest or in static equilibrium. It provides a strong foundation in understanding forces acting on particles and rigid bodies in equilibrium. The course emphasizes solving equilibrium problems for truss, frame, and beam systems using both classical techniques and modern matrix-computer methods.

CIVE 508: Bridge Engineering

Instructor

Colorado State University

Spring 2024 (Enrollment: 12)

Graduate course that recalls the fundamental concepts for structural design (e.g., load path, bending equations, shear/bending moment diagrams) and learn the design process of highway bridges following AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Students need to design a real-world, simple-supported prestressed concrete bridge in a team as their final project. Students are requested to submit an executive summary of their design, man-hour and cost estimates, design plans, and design calculations. These real-world design projects will improve students’ teamwork ability, engineering ethics, and practical problem-solving skills.

CIVE 360: Mechanics of Solids

Instructor

Colorado State University

Summer 2023 (Enrollment: 23)

Undergraduate course that focuses on the fundamental concepts of stresses, strains, and deformation in members with applications to bars, beams, and columns in tension, compression, torsion, beam bending, and combined loading. Fundamentals of applying equilibrium, compatibility, and deformation-strain-stress-force relationships to structural members are emphasized.

CIVE 568: Design of Wood and Masonry Structures

Co-Teaching/Guest Lecturer

Colorado State University

Spring 2023 (Enrollment: 25)

Graduate course that focuses on the structural characteristics of masonry and wood buildings and their components. The application of design provisions of United States code to wood and masonry is emphasized.

CIVE 302: Evaluations of Civil Engineering Materials

Assistant Instructor - Lab

Colorado State University

Fall 2019 (Enrollment: 107)

Undergraduate course that focuses on different materials such as steel, aluminum, aggregate, Portland cement, Portland cement concrete, asphalt, asphalt mixtures, and wood. The basic concept of asphalt specification, mechanical properties and test methods are discussed, and the hands-on experiments in laboratory are performed.

CVEN 2121: Statics

Graduate Teaching Assistant

University of Colorado Denver

Summer 2018 (Enrollment: 30), Fall 2018 (Enrollment: 45), Spring 2019 (Enrollment: 39), Summer 2019 (Enrollment: 29)

Undergraduate course that focuses on the forces, shears, moments, deflections, and rotations of determinate and indeterminate structural beam and frame systems. Analyze determinate and indeterminate truss systems. Classical methods and modern matrix-computer approaches are introduced.

CVEN 3121: Mechanics of Materials

Graduate Teaching Assistant

University of Colorado Denver

Summer 2018 (Enrollment: 16), Summer 2019 (Enrollment: 22)

Undergraduate course that focuses on the mechanical properties of materials; stresses and strains in members subjected to tension, compression, shear, and torsion; flexural and shearing stresses in beams; combined stresses; transformation of stresses, principal stresses, and Mohr’s circle; deflections of beams; column stability; and energy methods.

CVEN 5111: Dynamics of Structures

Graduate Teaching Assistant

University of Colorado Denver

Fall 2015 (Enrollment: 18)

Graduate course that focuses on the concepts in structural dynamics and their applications in civil engineering type structures. Methods to determine dynamic response of single degree of freedom systems with free and forced vibrations, similar concepts in discrete and continuous multi-degree of freedom systems. Numerical methods to determine response over time, industry standard analysis software.
