  Term Paper with presentation(*) 5%



Total 100% 65%

Note: This will be a several pages (maximum 5) descriptive paper (typed) of any material (old, new, recycled, etc.) to civil engineering applications (structure, construction, environment, earth, space, etc.).

More innovative the materials and applications are, the higher the score will be given. Keep eye on engineering and scientific journals or use your imaginations. The readers of the paper shall be the students in this class with a purpose of informing them new materials and/or innovative civil engineering applications. Selected papers will be presented in the class at the end of the semester.

Homework will be assigned and collected in the class.
No late homework will be graded.



Honor System

The Old Dominion University Honor Code applies to all works associated with this course. Honor the Honor Code.
