CEE / / / / / / / / / / 2 0 1 3 D E PA R T M E N T N E W S CIVIL AND E N V I R O N M E N TA L ENGINEERING Welcome Dear CEE Alumni and Friends, I am pleased to report that the CEE department is on a solid foundation and continues to maintain a strong academic community of excellent faculty, hard working staff, and a great student body. This could not be accomplished without the exceptional support we get from all of you. Thank you all very much for your support! TABLE OF CONTENTS 04 05 06 08 New Faculty 10 Academy of Civil and Environmental Engineers 12 CEE Donor Recognition Student Awards Research Awards Department News Many of you already know that our friend and colleague Dr. C. Robert Baillod passed away last Spring. Bob’s vision, hard work, and self sacrifice helped build the department into a nationally ranked program. I was lucky to take some water and wastewater classes from Bob back in the late 1970s and his lectures always excited my curiosity and made me interested in the subject matter. His memorial is described in the newsletter. Thanks to all of your support and the hard work performed by the students, the concrete canoe and steel bridge teams continue their winning ways. The concrete canoe team placed first in the regional competition and third in the national competition this past year. The steel bridge team placed first in the regional competition and fourth in the national competition. Congratulations to both teams! This past year we have added three new faculty members into the department: Dr. Qingli Dai, Dr. Pasi Lautala, and Dr. Jeffrey Lidicker. Dr. Lautala and Dr. Lidicker are a part of the Michigan Tech Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative (SFHI) which focused on transportation. In addition, we are in the midst of hiring four new faculty members who will begin this Fall, details of which will follow in the next newsletter. In the Fall of 2011, we inducted eight new members into the Academy of Civil and Environmental Engineers. The 107 members in the Academy are some of the most successful of our over 8,000 graduates. The next induction ceremony is scheduled for September 2013 and we are looking forward to honoring the next induction class.

In fact, this was one of the qualities I enjoyed most about being at Tech and I am happy to report that many of our current students still experience this closeness with their fellow classmates. The only thing that I felt was missing at that time was more rapport and interaction with the department. Starting this next academic year, I will begin regular meetings with all the undergraduates in CEE to keep them informed of what the department is doing, provide professional advice, and hear from the students how we can improve the department as a whole. I will let you know how this goes in the next newsletter. Sincerely yours, David Hand Class of 1980 Professor and CEE Department Chair dwhand@mtu.edu www.mtu.edu/cee In Memory of Bob Baillod A little over one year ago, the department lost a long-time colleague and friend, Charles Robert “Bob” Baillod. Bob was a faculty member at Michigan Tech from 1968 until his retirement in 2007 but was best known for his service to the department as chair from 1991-2005. During his time as chair, the department made a great deal of progress in building the environmental engineering program to become one of the top in the nation. Bob initiated a capital campaign that immensely improved the civil engineering laboratory facilities. He was also instrumental in the development of the building plans for the Dow Environmental Sciences and Engineering Building , which opened in 1998. Another aspect of his role at the University was the proposal for the Great Lakes Research Center, completed in 2012. Bob also took a personal interest in the student concrete canoe team, acting as team advisor and traveling with the group to regional and national competitions. Bob was also a well-published researcher in the areas of water and wastewater engineering and was active in professional service with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP). During his 34 years of community service on the Portage Lake Water and Sewage Authority Board, he provided expertise in wastewater treatment, which included the design of the new treatment facility to benefit the local community. . . . One thing in particular that stands out about Bob’s time in the department was his commitment to continuous improvement. We are surrounded by his legacy in so many ways and want to ensure that his dedication to the department lives on. We have initiated a fund in his honor to allow us to make improvements to our laboratory teaching equipment. Please help us continue Bob’s legacy by directing your next donation to the Bob Baillod Memorial Equipment Endowment. 2 0 1 3 // C E E D E PART M EN T N EWS 3 New Faculty DR.

Griffis was awarded a CAREER proposal, one of the most prestigious and sought after awards offered by the National Science Foundation. Her proposal is titled “Flood Risk Projections with Climatic Variation and Human-Induced Shifts in Hydrologic Response.” A large portion of the US population live in flood-prone areas, many of which experience devastating flood problems with increased frequency. The current flood risk estimation method used by insurance and governmental agencies is based on static estimates and does not take into account the effects of urbanization and climate change. Dr. Griffis’ objective is to create a statistical method and framework to project flood risk into the future by accounting for the impacts of natural climatic variability, potential climate change, and impending land use changes. This research will result in the creation of a physical, causal-based statistical framework for flood risk projection. These research objectives will be achieved through a combination of statistical models based on observed data and physically-based hydrologic models used to simulate flood series under future scenarios. This project offers a significant outreach component that will result in the increased interest of K-12 students in science and engineering and also build awareness of the consequences of human activities on hydrologic processes. In particular, this project will offer field trips for area ninth grade students, lesson plans and an interactive web module for high school teachers, and activities to further encourage STEM outreach led by graduate and undergraduate students. Finally, the project will help to develop research themes to integrate into undergraduate water resources coursework. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / GRADUATE RESEARCH AWARD Rosa Flores Rangel, an environmental engineering doctoral candidate, was recognized for her research in the area of atmospheric chemistry. Rosa will complete her degree in the summer of 2013. Her research involves development of novel analytical methods to improve the understanding of atmospheric particles. Her research crosses several disciplines and has regional and global implications. Rosa Flores Rangel with advisor Dr. Paul Doskey NSF GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP Daniel Cerminaro, a recent Michigan Tech civil engineering graduate, was awarded a highly competitive NSF Graduate Fellowship to study “Earthquake -Induced Object Change Detection Using Remote Sensing.” The award provides a $30,000 per year fellowship and tuition expenses for three years. He started his PhD program in civil engineering at Michigan Tech this summer. 6 Professors of Practice faculty and department alums, l-r: Mike Drewyor ‘72, Bill Leder ‘68, Bill Baxandall ‘56 Giving Back – 120+ Years of Engineering Experience CEE students have learned from the 120 years of combined experience that our three Professors of Practice have to offer. Bill Leder, P.E. and past Principal with Lea+Elliot, has experience with transportation and airport design; Bill Baxandall is the past owner of a water treatment company in Alaska and designer of water treatment systems; and Mike Drewyor, P.E. and PS, is the past owner of a full-service civil engineering and surveying firm. The years of professional experience they bring to the table has been an integral part of the capstone senior design experience in CEE. The students have benefited immeasurably from their realworld, practical experience. Bill Leder and Bill Baxandall have worked on projects that benefit the local communities and park systems, including a recent project titled “Complete Streets for the City of Hancock,” “Bicycle Network Plan for the City of Hancock,” and “Floating Dock System for Passage Island Cove - Isle Royale National Park.” The class for the Isle Royale project consisted of six civil and six environmental engineering students forming three multidisciplinary teams. The scope included environmental assessment, design, construction, and operation and maintenance. Funding and logistical support for a three-day field trip was provided by the Isle Royale Boaters Association, a major stakeholder. A presentation and final report was provided to the client, the National Park Service. The scope of the Hancock project involved planning, preliminary design, and cost estimates for sidewalk and bicycle networks, as well as the preparation of the Complete Streets Planning and Design Handbook. The students worked with the City of Hancock Planning Commission throughout the semester and made a public presentation on their final work. Challenges students faced during the project included steep grades in the city and older neighborhoods that do not meet modern municipal engineering standards. The teams, advised by Mr. Leder and Mr. Baxandall, worked on a similar project, “Complete Streets for Calumet/Laurium,” during the 2013 spring semester. Some of the projects advised by Mike Drewyor have been a collaborative effort with Kiewit, Inc. Project engineers from Kiewit have worked with Mr. Drewyor to provide students with insight into Kiewit’s past or current projects, ranging from hydropower turbine installations in northern Ontario to a bascule bridge in Miami, Florida. This corporate involvement adds significant value to the learning outcomes of the senior design projects, and we look forward to continuing this partnership. Kiewit project facilitators include Jim Morrison, Tim Wellert, AJ Booker, and Russ Lutch. If you or your company is interested in developing a relationship with the department to assist with future senior design projects, please contact the CEE Department Chair, David Hand (dwhand@mtu.edu). 2 0 1 3 // C E E D E PART M EN T N EWS 7 Department News IDESIGN—PANAMA The department continues to offer quality international experiences for students with a two-part International Senior Design (iDesign) class for a combined total of six credits. CE4915 International Senior Design Field Experience has been conducted for the past three years in Panama and is led by Associate Professor David Watkins and Mike Drewyor, Professor of Practice. While in Panama, students spend an intensive two-week period of the summer session performing project assessments, including topographical surveying, community interviews, and other hands-on data collection activities. Projects have ranged from structural design of pedestrian suspension bridges to the design of charcoal production kilns, water supply systems, and irrigation systems. In the fall, the students return to campus to complete the design component with Part II, CE4916. The students fulfill all of the required components of a senior design project, including a final report with engineering design, analysis, cost estimates, and construction scheduling. They also present at the annual D80 Conference, a department-led conference that highlights the various international efforts across Michigan Tech’s campus. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / NAVIGATING THE CURRENTS OF ACADEMIA FACULTY OF THE YEAR AWARD Brian Barkdoll, Associate Professor, has integrated his research on open-channel flow with the undergraduate hydrodynamics laboratory. In 2010, Dr. Barkdoll installed a thirty-foot channel in the Dillman Hall Hydrodynamics Laboratory. This channel, which holds over 2,000 gallons of water, can simulate water flow experiments on erosion, sediment transport, compoundchannel flow, and any issues related to rivers, sewers, or culverts. Undergraduate students conducted experiments and collected research data for the South Florida Water Management District project on scour reduction through air entrainment. Students were excited to participate in a real project and even volunteered to work on the project outside of class. Tess Ahlborn, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, was voted the 2013 Howard E. Hill Outstanding Faculty of the Year in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The award, which recognizes excellence and passion for teaching, was established in 1994 and is determined annually by the CEE students.
