Earthbag Housing: Structural Behaviour and Applicability in Developing Countries
Daigle, Bryce Callaghan (2008-09-12)Global awareness of environmental issues such as climate change and resource depletion has grown dramatically in recent years. As a result, there has been a surge of interest in developing alternative building techniques ... -
Humanitarian engineering in the engineering curriculum
VanderSteen, Jonathan Daniel James (2008-08-27)There are many opportunities to use engineering skills to improve the conditions for mar-ginalized communities, but our current engineering education praxis does not instruct on how engineering can be a force for human ... -
Humanitarian Engineering: Addressing the global influence of applied technology in engineering education
Miller, James Douglas (2008-04-29)The immensity of the social and (natural) environmental impacts that technologies have in today’s global context challenges the existing engineering education curricula. Observational research inspired the notion that the ... -
Hydrodynamic Modelling of Lake Ontario
Hall, Erin (2008-10-21)The 2006 Clean Water Act requires each municipality to come up with science-based plans to protect the quality and quantity of their drinking water. A literature review concerning applicable processes in Lake Ontario along ... -
Incorporating Environmental Impacts into Multi-Objective Optimization of Water Distribution Systems
Herstein, Lesley (2009-08-25)Municipal water distribution system (WDS) expansion is often focused on increasing system capacity with designs that best meet hydraulic requirements at the least cost. Increasing public awareness regarding global warming ... -
Modeling Trihalomethane Formation in Drinking Water With Application to Risk-Based Decision-Making
Chowdhury, Shakhawat (2009-02-11)A model-based methodology for risk-based decision-making of water treatment and disinfection strategies that deal with the management of trihalomethanes (THMs) has been developed. Trihalomethanes (THMs) are by-products of ... -
Remote environmental sensor array system
Hall, Geoffrey G. (2007-12-20)This thesis examines the creation of an environmental monitoring system for inhospitable environments. It has been named The Remote Environmental Sensor Array System or RESA System for short. This thesis covers the ... -
Socially Just Engineering: Power, resistance, and discourse at Site 41
Mushtaq, Usman (2011-09-21)While engineers and their patrons have always claimed that technology has advanced the common good, I intend to show that more often than not engineers have been mercenaries for those at the center of knowledge, power, and ... -
A Two-Dimensional Horizontal Wave Propagation and Mud Mass Transport Model on Muddy Coastal Regions
Oveisy, Ali (2009-07-24)It is well known that surface water waves interact with fluid mud on the sea bed. Wave mud interaction results in high wave energy dissipation and mud mass transport. This kind of wave energy dissipation, which generally ...
