Contains seven peer-reviewed papers on engineering design for precipitation extremes. Topics include engineering methods for designing for and managing precipitation extremes and floods, approaches to uncertainty and acceptable risk, and interactions with climate scientists on engineering needs for climate information and projections.

Presents the challenges of cold regions engineering in a changing climate, as well as the current practices and state-of-the-art tools for addressing them. The book is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and government agencies involved in cold regions engineering and the mitigation of frost action.

Provides the current state of environmental preservation procedures for inland waterways. This technical report presents an overview of ecosystem sustainability procedures currently used. It examines environmental considerations for construction, as well as operation and restoration of inland freshwater waterways in the US.

Provides a compilation of state-of-the-art statistical methods for analysing and describing critical variables that are part of the hydrological cycle. This resource will assist practicing hydrologists, water resource specialists, researchers, and individuals interested in applications of probabilistic methods in hydrology and water resources.

Aims to describe the approach and process involved in a program designed to assist faculty in acquiring technology skills and to apply these skills in constructing meaningful learning-centered applications. This book is intended for educators who are working to lead the integration of technology into higher education and K-12 environments.

Ravina High is seen as a ""good school"" largely because of its comfortable middle-class catchment. This book talks about how class interests shape not only this school, but the whole education system around it, public and private. It shows the massive influence of social class inequalities in Australian society.

Entrusted by the public to provide professional solutions to complex situations, engineers can face ethical dilemmas of all forms. In Pursuing Engineering Ethics through Real-World Case Studies, Starrett, Lara, and Bertha provide in-depth analysis with extended discussions and study questions of case studies that are based on real work situations.

Organized around the theme ""Networking in Engineering Colleges"", the conference deals with the trends in computer-aided engineering applications of computer-aided design, manufacturing automation, and networking. It provides a forum for leaders from education and government to focus on issues related to the automation of engineering practice.

Through real-life stories, this work celebrates the contributions of women engineers to various aspects of modern life. When placed in school libraries and counseling centers, it provides girls and their parents with an exciting exploration into what is possible. It offers young women inspiration and encouragement to pursue careers in engineering.

Provides general guidelines for the structural design of blast-resistant petrochemical facilities, updating the 1997 original edition. Information is provided regarding design objectives, siting considerations, and load determination. Detailed coverage is included for types of construction, dynamic material strengths, allowable response criteria, analysis methods, and design procedures.

An engineer's personal take on what it's like to be a civil engineer in the 21st century - the life, the practice, the profession. This work covers aspects ranging from discussions of suburban sprawl, bridge aesthetics, and the engineering body of knowledge to comical accounts of packrat habits, quacking moments, and engineering fashion.
