Shake, Rattle, and Stand - Earthquake engineering presentation that includes a brief history of earthquake damage and an overview of current methods used in earthquake engineering to prevent such damage. For example: we show how to take the recordings of a seismograph and turn that into ground motion so as to determine the way in which a structure will react. Include a shake table and a liquifaction demonstration.

Maintaining Water Quality - An Engineering Approach   An overview of an ongoing study of the Loosahatchie river considering what goes into maintaining water quality in our streams. Presentation will include information from a current research project on the Loosahatchie River.

From the Ground to the Customer -
Model Water Treatment System – Demonstration of a desk-top model water treatment system simulating the processes used to treat water supplied. This is the treatment unit used in the introductory design class in Civil Engineering.

When Would It Break? - “What or when is the moment of inertia?” – Basic characteristics of structural mechanics are demonstrated by loading wooden specimens at different locations along a test beam. You get to guess at just how strong a piece of pine lumber really is.
