IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
EXAM 2
It is going to take me longer
to grade the homework because I have to download and
print out the files you send me, grade them, then scan
and send the graded homeworks back to you. I also have
to keep working on beefing up the slides and getting
them posted to the website. Therefore, I have pushed
Exam 2 back to April 7. Please take a look at the new
schedule.
Wednesday,
March 18
For the rest of the semester,
I am going to beef up all of the PowerPoint
presentations by adding a lot of "word slides" to
provide you with all of the information I would have
told you in class were we able to meet in person. I've
gone back and updated the
ACI Mix Design Method slides that I posted before
Spring Break. When you click on the link to download the
slides, make sure that the first slide says "Updated
Version" or you are still looking at the old version.
I've also posted slides for "Mixing,
Placing and Curing Concrete." That will cover both
of next week's scheduled classes. I've also posted
Homework 6,
which will be due by e-mail on Tuesday, March 31 at 1:00
pm SHARP. If this works, we will not have to meet online
at 1:00 every Tuesday and Thursday to have class. I can
just post the PowerPoints and let you go through them on
your own timeframe. If this doesn't work, we can use
eCourseware to have a virtual class where everyone who
wants to logs in at 1:00 and I go through the slides in
person. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THE POWERPOINTS ALONE WORK
FOR YOU.

TRBA Scholarships
Every year, the Tennessee
Road Builders Association provides scholarships to civil
engineering students across Tennessee. They will be here
on Wednesday, April 8 to interview applicants. Please
sign up for an interview slot on the sheet outside the
CIVL office and go to
www.trba.org to complete an application. THE
APPLICATION DEADLINE IS MARCH 13.
Tuesday, February 4
As I mentioned last week, you
will have to write a term paper this semester on
sustainability in the asphalt/concrete/construction
industry. Please read the introduction on the
TERM PAPER web page and
look at the paper rules and grading rubric on the
PAPER RULES web page. My
goal is for every student to choose a different topic.
Please e-mail me your topic by 2/27. I will maintain a
list of TOPICS
already selected. First-come, first-served.

When you take the FE Exam, the only reference
you will be allowed to use is the NCEES FE Reference
Handbook. I want you to be familiar with the sections of
that handbook that are related to this course. The two
pages relevant to this course can be found here.
I'm sure NCEES will expect you to know more material
than is covered in just those two pages. I can think of
dozens of questions that don't involve formulas or
tables an so aren't addressed in the handbook.
