June 2013:<\/strong> Congratulations to two CE student teams for placing 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> in the region* in PCI\u2019s 2013 Big Beam Contest!<\/p>\n Each student team collaborated with TPac Precast (Phoenix) to build a 20-ft. long precast-prestressed concrete beam. Students designed the beam to carry 20,000 lbs. without cracking and to fail at a load less than 39,000 lbs. Prior to testing, students predicted the cracking load, ultimate load, and ultimate deflection. Teams are judged based on the efficiency of their design, accuracy of predictions, maximum deflection, and thoroughness of their approach. 3rd<\/sup> Place Team: Junfeng Qian, Qi Wang, Shiyu Wang<\/strong>. 4th<\/sup> Place Team: Jessica Kettelkamp, Eric Rocha, Daniel Washburn<\/strong>). The 3rd<\/sup> place award earned $500 to support CENE Student Projects.<\/p>\n *Region 1 = AK,AZ,CA,HI,NV,OR,WA.<\/p>\n\n June 2013<\/strong>: The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) awarded $7,500 to NAU\u2019s Department of Civil Engineering, Construction Management and Environmental Engineering, in recognition of the project \u201cPaper Pulp Sludge Characteristics and Applications.\u201d The award recognizes engineering programs that encourage collaboration between students and professional engineers. Students Amy Anderson<\/strong>, John Jowers<\/strong>, Daniel Hamill<\/strong>, Gabe Murray<\/strong>, Nathaniel Lail<\/strong> and Annalise O\u2019Toole<\/strong> worked with faculty mentor Wilbert Odem<\/strong> to determine whether it is feasible for Cinder Lakes Landfill in Flagstaff to generate cost savings by using paper pulp sludge in new ways instead of burying it with incoming waste. The team\u2019s research, testing and analysis projected the landfill could save more than $8 million on material costs alone.<\/p>\n\n June 2013:\u00a0<\/strong>NAU is a designated university by the FHWA to operate a Dwight D. Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program on the Mountain campus. The Fellowship Program provides funding for NAU Native American students and Hispanic students in the pursuit of a degree (BS, MS\/MEng, PhD) in transportation-related fields at NAU. NAU students who receive a fellowship will conduct a research project under the supervision of their adviser.\u00a0For more information and detail regarding the NAU Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship, please contact the Campus Program Manager, Dr. Chun-Hsing (Jun) Ho, at\u00a0chun-hsing.ho@nau.edu<\/a>\u00a0or 928-523-5307<\/a>. Two NAU students have received these prestigious $10,000 awards: Leondo Benally (CM) and Alejandra Quesada (CE).<\/p>\n News archive: Academic year 2012-2013 August 2013: EnE’s graduate Marilla Lamb is featured in a Flagstaff Daily Sun’s news article about the Eco-Pedaler she designed that charges a cell phone using a bicycle.
