Flood events bring havoc to transportation assets including bridges, culverts, and roadways on an annual basis. This has been increasing trend in the recent years, especially Midwestern states. Millions of dollars are spent repair or replace infrastructure every year due damage suffered from floods. With a major drive within agencies consider risks associated with asset damages, provide optimized plans for pre-event mitigation postevent recovery, there is need better estimation type damages...
Gamification and virtual reality (VR) are increasingly being explored for their potential to enhance mindful practices well-being. We further explore the of gamification VR breath awareness mindfulness, contribute Stairway Heaven, a artifact that combines with respiratory sensor biofeedback cultivate breathing. In our mixed-method study 21 participants, we evaluated usability effectiveness in promoting breathing frequencies between 4 10 breaths per minute (BPM). integrate breath-driven...
Abstract Equipping engineering students with teamwork skills is crucial since are necessary to succeed as an engineer. The goal of this research explore if student's advance when team-based projects effectively integrated into courses. To end, a junior-level Project Management for Civil Engineers course was used due closely aligned principles and project management-based activities. converted flipped format in order make time in-class projects. Flipped learning requires engage content before...
Virtual reality (VR) could increase access, improve effectiveness, and reduce costs for at-home physical rehabilitation. However, there are open questions regarding the design, development, usability of VR applications, particularly lower limb rehabilitation protocols. This work addresses data capture by developing testing a low-cost system in VR. Our prototype demonstrates viable design strategy creating an exercise paradigm capable tracking movement input from standing, seated, or supine...
Abstract As an innovative pedagogy, flipped classroom approach enables instructors to move direct instruction out of class and convert time a dynamic learning environment where students engage in teamwork, problem‐solving, other interactive activities. Previous research has concluded that, when implemented well, the potential not only increase gain but also improve students’ professional skills such as communication, life‐long learning, which are deemed be critical engineering education...
