Construction Engineering (BS)

Construction engineering is involved in the planning, management and building of structures and facilities essential to societies and communities, as well as the overall improvement in the standard of living. If you are interested in rebuilding and maintaining the current infrastructure in the United States and/or developing the new infrastructure needed to support population growth, this is your degree.

Electrical Engineering (BS)

With instruction in circuits, electronics, digital systems, electrical networks, antenna design, electromagnetism, embedded control, signal analysis and programming, this degree will prepare you with the skills and knowledge needed to plan, design and evaluate electrical and electronic systems and their components.

Industrial Engineering (BS)

As an industrial engineer, you will be counted upon to solve complex problems in a technological world. Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. You will have an opportunity to work in a variety of organizations, including but not limited to, hospitals, engineering firms, petrochemical companies, government agencies and manufacturing.

Technology Management (BAAS)

The Technology Management degree integrates technology, applied engineering, project management, cost engineering, construction and industrial management, and leadership. As a technology management graduate, you will be prepared to problem solve, manage a construction and/or industrial work environment, optimize processes, ensure a safe workplace, and manage a technological project.

Technology Management (BS)

The Technology Management degree integrates technology, applied engineering, project management, cost engineering, construction and industrial management, and leadership. As a technology management graduate, you will be prepared to problem solve, manage a construction and/or industrial work environment, optimize processes, ensure a safe workplace, and manage a technological project.

Technology Management (MS)

The graduate program in technology management is a fully online program designed to prepare you for career advancement and career enhancement in domestic and global technology-intensive businesses and industrial enterprises. The program focuses on leadership, organizational strategies, knowledge management, management of technology, applied research and project management.

Mechanical Properties of Recycled Concrete Aggregate for Medium-Quality Structural Concrete

The use of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) has a high potential to significantly reduce the environmental impact of construction projects as well as the cost of construction materials. Reusing RCA in concrete mixes as a partial or full replacement of fine or coarse aggregate would be a more effective action in supporting and protecting the environment and reducing construction and demolition waste. This research reports the evaluation of medium-quality concrete properties incorporating RCA. Concrete cylinders, prisms, and cubes, as well as reinforced concrete (RC) beams, are prepared with different replacements of the RCA (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). The workability, mechanical properties, and reinforcement bond of cured concrete are examined at different ages. Moreover, microscopic analysis for the recycled concrete is presented to investigate the bond between the cement paste, the used aggregates, and the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). The effect of the stainless-steel fibers, crumb rubber, and CFRP laminates on the mechanical properties of recycled concrete aggregate is explored.

Mechanical Properties of Rubberized Concrete Strengthened with Stainless-Steel Fibers

In this project, an overview of the effects of environmental conditions on the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete is experimentally explored. These conditions include freeze and thaw cycles, temperature, and salt attack. Moreover, the effect of adding stainless-steel fibers to the rubberized concrete is investigated to utilize both the advantages of rubber and stainless-steel fibers in concrete. Concrete specimens are prepared with different percentages of rubber and steel fibers, cured, and stored under different environmental conditions.

Free Emission Smart Infrastructure (FESI)

Our research focuses on accelerating the transition to smart cities through integrated assimilation and deployment of several emerging renewable energy technologies. Photovoltaic roof tiles as renewable electric powertrains can be integrated with grid-connected rechargeable lithium-ion battery storage system as well as off-the-grid use system. Our research efforts include: deployment of a smart solar photovoltaic building unit (PVBU), monitoring and control of solar generation and energy consumption, software for Levelized Cost of Electricity (LOCE) data analytics, solar PV devices efficiency simulation and financial engineering to avoid reliance on government's subsidies.
