FROM THE HEAD
It has been another exciting year for Civil Engineering at Purdue. With new facilities, new faculty and growth in undergraduate enrollment, the size and quality of our program has taken another very strong leap forward.
In addition, we set another new record for externally funded research expenditures. Research funds provide critical support for our undergraduate and graduate educational and instructional missions, and the continued growth in research expenditures at Purdue is noteworthy given the cutbacks that have been the norm at many federal and state funding agencies.

» A few of the School’s highlights in the past year include: Completed last fall, the Robert L. and Terry L. Bowen Laboratory for Large-Scale Civil Engineering Research has been quickly staffed and research operations have begun in earnest. Funded entirely by the contributions of alumni and friends, it is arguably the largest, most modern and technically advanced facility of its type in the country. This incredible facility has significantly expanded Purdue’s already formidable structural and materials research program. Edward and Ann Curtis, Jan Curtis Spayth and two additional civil engineering alumni have pledged a combined total of $1.5M to establish a chaired professorship for visiting professors so that Purdue’s School of Civil Engineering can attract outstanding scholars from other universi- ties to visit and teach during their sabbatical leaves. As part of a challenge to bring more chaired professorships to Purdue, Mr. William Bindley (of Indianapolis) has committed to match the new Curtis Chair, thus establishing not one but two new endowed chairs in Civil Engineering. As part of the College of Engineering’s faculty expansion, Civil Engineering has added 6 new faculty in 2004. These include Mike Kreger (structural engineering), Joseph Sinfield (sensor applications and management), Amit Varma (structural engineering), David Bonen (cement chemistry and nano-cements), Hugo Ochoa-Acuna (environmental risk management) and Maria Sepilveda (environmental toxicology). We expect to add another 6 or 7 new faculty in the coming year as well. Annual research expenditures, a key measure of external funding support, reached a record $12.5M in the 2003-2004 fiscal year. This is a 21% increase from the previous year and a tribute to the hard work of our faculty, students and staff. These are just a few of the achievements of the School in the past year — achievements that are helping to make Civil Engineering at Purdue a preeminent program. And, we have great expectations for 2005. From the addition of more new faculty to the continuation of our fundraising campaign, Civil Engineering at Purdue is continuing a remarkable transformation. With the continued support of alumni and friends, and the hard work of faculty, staff and students, this transformation will soon be complete.

FEATURE STORY aculty Positions Define eering School’s Future
The School of Civil Engineering is leading the way in creating new endowed faculty positions at Purdue University. In response to a challenge from Indianapolis business and civic leader, William E. Bindley and his wife Mary Ann, two new endowed funds, commonly known as professorships or chairs, have been created by civil engineering alumni and friends in the past 18 months. Two additional chairs in civil engineering will be created by Mr. Bindley as matching gifts. Civil engineering’s new chairs were the first received by any school in the College of Engineering at Purdue that qualified for the Bindley matching challenge. Earnings from these funds will be used to attract and/or retain the very best faculty to Purdue further strengthening the school in its quest for preeminence. The first of the new chairs is being created by civil engineering alumnus, Christopher B. Burke President Martin and his wife, Susan of Naperville, Illinois. Originally announced at campus ceremonies on February Jischke, along with Dean Linda Katehi, 17, 2003, the $1.5 million ten-year pledge establishes the Christopher B. Burke Professorship in congratulates Civil Engineering. Earnings from the fund will be used to attract and/or retain an internationally Chris and Susan recognized faculty member to Purdue who specializes in the area of hydrology and hydraulics. Burke at their gift The faculty member selected to receive the “chair” will have access to a permanent source of announcement. funds which can be used for such things as equipment purchases, graduate student stipends and professional travel — essentially, anything that will enhance his or her scholarly activities. “We are happy to be in a position to give something back and meet Bill Bindley’s unique challenge,” said Burke, who received a bachelor’s degree in 1977, a master’s degree in 1979 and a Ph.D. in 1983, all from Purdue’s School of Civil Engineering. Susan Burke also received her bachelor’s degree from Purdue in 1978 from the School of Liberal Arts. “Obviously I’ve spent a lot of time at Purdue, and I have valued the opportunities I was presented and the friends I have made at the university,” Chris Burke continued. “I knew this would be a great opportunity for the School of Civil Engineering and that if I was going to do something, now was a good time to do it. Susan and I continue to benefit a great deal from my Purdue education. We hope these two new chairs will keep or attract outstanding educators who can help the school train tomorrow’s top civil engineers. The world’s challenges are great. We need to create opportunities that lead to excellence.” The second of the new chairs is being created by fraternal twins Edward M. Curtis, Jr. and Jan Curtis Spayth of Beaumont, Texas. Mr. Curtis and his wife Anne and Mrs. Spayth have made a combined commitment of $1.25 million to establish an endowed professorship named in honor

What a year it has been for celebrating successes and anticipating more to come in the area of development and alumni relations. The 2003-2004 fiscal year can also be characterized by alumni and friends coming together —
pooling their resources — to accomplish our goals and strengthen our school of civil engineering. We are indeed grateful to have received gifts, pledges and deferred commitments of over $3 million to benefit the school during the 2003-2004 fiscal year. It was a year which started with the dedication of our new large-scale structures/materials testing lab — named for Robert L and Terry L Bowen, the largest In total, $14.6 million has been raised in the last three years in each of the following categories: donors to the building — but truly a total effort of

Give us a call first and we will arrange for a tour. It is certainly never too late to be part of this effort as a donor since funds, particularly for equipment, are still very much in need. A few months after the dedication of the new lab, another exciting announcement was made: the school of civil engineering would be the beneficiary of a second endowed faculty position and a second Bindley matching gift. At the point of this announcement on February 18, 2004, no other school in the entire College of Engineering had received one new endowed chair which would qualify for this special challenge let alone two new $1.5 million endowments. Ed and Ann Curtis, Jan Curtis Spayth and two additional generous civil alumni had combined their gifts to create a visiting professorship at the $1.5 million level. This was just one year after the school was proud to announce the first response to the Bindley Challenge when Chris and Susan Burke stepped forward with their major commitment of an endowed chair in hydrology/hydraulics. As the fiscal year came to a close in June of 2004, we learned of two more major accomplishments in terms of giving among our alumni and friends. First, in fiscal 2003-2004 more civil engineering alumni contributed to the school than ever before with over 20% participation. What’s more these donors contributed more dollars — $291,894 to be exact — to be used by the school’s leadership for students and projects of highest immediate priority. In the not-for-profit world, we call this type of gift “unrestricted” but perhaps no gift makes a greater instant impact. Please see the list of new endowment funds and new annual restricted scholarships later in this publication that were created over the course of the last year. We are so grateful to our friends and alumni who preferred to create a lasting legacy in civil engineering education. These permanent funds will sustain the school and our students for generations to come.

» Finally, if you and/or your spouse have included the school of civil engineering in your estate plans or are considering doing this, please let us know. This benefits the school in a number of ways and it also benefits you. First, by sharing your plans with the school (which can be done confidentially or anonymously through your attorney), you will have the peace of mind of knowing that your intentions, however specific, are understood and thus, abided by when the time comes and the gift arrives. The school benefits by knowing and being able to prepare for whatever gifts might be coming in the future. Also, we would like to thank you personally for your deferred commitment and, if you don’t mind, recognize you publicly for your generous plans. We have found by recognizing our alumni and friends in this way during their lifetimes, it encourages others to consider making similar planned gifts for the benefit of civil engineering. If I can be of any assistance or answer any questions you may have regarding your philanthropy, please don’t hesitate to call me at 765-494-2236, e-mail at [email protected] or write at 550 Stadium Mall Drive, West Lafayette, Indiana, 47907.

Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships, SURF
This past summer, the Dean of Engineering Undergraduate Programs and the Office for Research and Entrepreneurship provided an opportunity for selected undergraduate students to work for 2 to 3 months in a research laboratory at Purdue University under the tutelage of a faculty member and a graduate student mentor. With the support of The School of Civil Engineering, selected students spent over 8 weeks during the summer working in our research labs on various projects. They were able to learn exciting new skills during hands-on research activities and, at the same time, earn a stipend. Two of the projects were:
Siew Hwee Kong, with the help of her mentor, Alberto M. Figueroa and her advisor, Professor Andrew P. Tarko investigated the VIDEO-BASED EVALUATION OF DRIVER PERCEPTION OF RISK ON 4-LANE HIGHWAYS. An understanding of driver risk perception and its factors is essential in designing safe highways and improving driving conditions. A perceived hazard does not always reflect the probability of crash and the possible magnitude of loss. There are hazards in highways that drivers do not perceive. Although decades of intense research have resulted in models linking high- way geometry with crash rate, the relationship between risk perception (subjective risk) and crash rate (objective risk) is still to be researched. Our study offers the opportunity to identify and measure driver risk perception which will likely lead to demonstrating the relationship between objective and subjective risks. The investigation of risk perception while driving will include individual risk rating at considerably varying driver speed and in diversified roadway characteristics presented in a sequence of video clips. At the end of the study, a multi-factorial analysis of the relationship between the perceived risk, the crash rate, and the preferred speed will be performed.
Shuichiro Miwa’s summarizes his summer SURF experience. “This summer, I worked with Professor Jafvert on his research project concerning the photochemistry of pollutants in the aqueous environment. My summer began with coding Visual Basic (VBA) Macros in Excel to download solar irradiance data (UV-B) from the web. The specific data I downloaded was a year’s worth of data collected at 3 minute intervals at a USDA monitoring station at the Purdue Agronomy Farm. I also spent a number of weeks rewriting a program into VBA, based on the existing FORTRAN program GCSOLAR that predicts total solar flux anywhere on the globe as a function of time. I also performed solar photochemical experiments on the roof of the Civil Engineering building with a chemical actinometer to experimentally determine solar light flux, comparing this measured value to those obtained by the other methods. This summer, I have had an opportunity to learn more about environmental chemistry and to read numerous research papers by various researchers. It has been a tangible experience since I have an intense desire to continue my education in graduate school. The SURF program enhanced my perspective toward environmental engineering.”

Bowen Laboratory Update
A substantial number of research projects are now underway in the Robert L. and Terry L. Bowen Laboratory for Large-Scale Civil Engineering Research. Faculty, staff, and students began moving into the new facility prior to the start of the spring semester and now have seven ongoing structural and geotechnical research projects in the laboratory plus five new structural and materials projects that got underway at the start of the fall semester. With the influx of new research projects, which include investigations on earthquake-resistant design of buildings and bridges, fatigue behavior of steel bridges, and fire- resistance of building connections, it is anticipated that the primary testing space in the high-bay portion of the laboratory will be filled within the next few months. The start of the spring semester also marked the arrival of the laboratory’s new director. Michael E. Kreger joins the School of Civil Engineering after serving on the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin for more than 20 years. He recently completed a three-year term there as the director of the Phil M. Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory. In June, Fred Mannering, head of the School of Civil Engineering, appointed Robert J. Frosch, associate professor in the School of Civil Engineering, to the position of associate director of the laboratory. Robert will assist Michael in the day-to-day operations of the laboratory.
Joint Transportation Research Program
The Joint Transportation Research Program (JTRP), known earlier as the Joint Highway Research Project, was established in 1937 by a state statute as a cooperative research endeavor between Purdue University and the Indiana State Highway Commission (now the Indiana Department of Transportation). As Indiana’s transportation system evolved over the last six decades, JTRP’s research changed as well to include the ever-broadening and complex issues that affect our transportation network. Current projects involve a wide range of topics from materials, geotechnical, structures, and construction to traffic operations, transportation security, ITS technologies, financing, and transportation policy. Not only has JTRP contributed to improving Indiana’s transportation system, but its funding also has contributed to the education of hundreds of graduate students at Purdue University, who have gone on to become the movers and shakers in transportation in the United States and around the world, including cabinet ministers, directors of transportation, chief engineers, and company executives. Many JTRP-funded graduate students remain right here in Indiana too, working for state and local agencies, contractors, and consultants; and many of the decisions they make rely on the information provided by the research program. An important conduit for JTRP’s technology transfer is the Annual Purdue Road School, which is now in its 90th year. The oldest conference of its kind in the nation, Road School attracts over 1,500 attendees each year.

For William M. Lyles,graduating from Purdue seemed like an act of fate. “I was in the Derby Parade in 1935,the year my father graduated,” he says. “I wore a sweatshirt that read ‘CE ’55.’ And sure enough I graduated from Purdue twenty years later.”
Lyles grew up in California, where Written in the Stars his father and mother started their own construction company in 1945. Lyles began working on the construction crews of the family business when he was only twelve years old. “I knew very early that I wanted to follow in my parents footsteps,” Lyles says. A high school graduate six years later, Lyles returned to Purdue where he tailored his coursework to fit his future plans. “At that time, no schools that I know of had construction management in their programs,” Lyles says, “so I kind of created my own construction engineering management program.” This self-orchestrated curriculum included civil engineering, accounting, labor relations, and economics, supplemented by other business type courses. “I may not have got it started,” Lyles says, “but I certainly did it before it was created.”

I wasn’t lucky enough to hit a gold mine or an oil well,” Lyles says. “So I thought I would go back and try to be a part of a little bit of something my parents began in at the end of World War II; I wanted to work and build the family business.” When his father passed away in 1965, Lyles moved into management and assumed full leadership in 1972. “I realized in my sophomore year at Purdue that every time I received some honor or some success I was thrilled to death for a short time,” Lyles says, “but then I would always say ‘What next?’ I learned that achievement is important, but balance in one’s life is essential for long term success and happiness; balance in your duty to your family, your community, your religion, and your work.”
Driven to Succeed » This approach has taken the construction business that Lyles’s parents began at the end of World War II into a corporate expansion that now includes heavy construction, manufacturing, real estate development, real estate ownership, and agriculture. In 1987, Lyles Diversified, Inc. financed the purchase of Pelco, a small circuit television manufacturer. Lyles Diversified, Inc. and key management each own 50% of this unusual partnership which has produced a forty fold growth since 1987. The company now employs 1,500 workers and is currently the world’s largest manufacturer of video security equipment.

IN MEMORIUM
The School of Civil Engineering held a celebration of life to honor the memory of Leonard Wood, October 15, 2004.
Remembering Professor Leonard E. Wood » (continued from page 3)
» that Purdue enjoys.” Today, we would say that he was one of many taking Purdue to the level of Preeminence the University is striving to achieve. For nearly 50 years, Leonard Wood gave his expertise and guided students through Civil Engineering and, many, the Co-Op experience. Although he had served as coordinator for more than 10 years, he had been involved serving the Purdue Schools of Engineering Co-Op Program since the early 1970’s. In fact, his roots with the Co-Op program began in his early teaching and research days of the late 1950’s. It was then when he shared an office with Civil Engineering’s first Co-Op Coordinator, William Kaye, that he realized how this unique program provided an important component of a student’s education. As Coordinator for the program, Professor Wood developed job-sites for students to work during their years of study at Purdue. Typically, a student works one term and then studies on campus for the next term. Leonard Wood enjoyed working with both the employer contacts and the students. He enjoyed developing new job-sites, visiting his students at their jobs and also recruiting new students for the program. He monitored each student’s progress and was literally thrilled to watch each individual grow and mature professionally as they combined real work experience with their studies. Leonard Wood visualized incoming students, in his own words, “as a handful of clay that has the potential to be molded into something beautiful and useful.” He said, “The Purdue professors and courses do the shaping. However, a vase has to be fired before it can become a work-of–art. The Co-Op job experience is the kiln for the student.” In other words, after students learn formulas and theories in the classroom, their Co-Op jobs force them to apply what they have learned, make decisions, and develop into professionals while experiencing the “fire” of the workplace. When he retired from his teaching and research duties in 1993, he offered to remain in the school as a “volunteer” coordinator. According to the director of Purdue’s Cooperative Education Program, Robert Stwalley, III, Professor Wood’s valuable knowledge and experience combined with his love for the students made his contributions immeasurable. He worked full-time at making certain each student gained the best possible placement opportunity and experiences while challenging the students to make the most of their working environments. Professor Wood also said, “Professors often remark that it is easy to spot Co-Op students since they generally pose interesting, well formed questions and appear to be better organized in the laboratory experiments and design courses such as their senior project courses. The university also benefits through an effective Co-Op program because of the opportunity it provides to develop ties with employers that lead to other programs and support.” Professor Wood not only believed in the Co-Op program, he exemplified what a Co-Op Coordinator can accom- plish. Civil Engineering has, by far, the highest percentage yield rate of placements on campus. Another aspect of the Co-Op program that Professor Wood believed in is that the program provides students the chance to acquire “those intangible talents such as poise, self-confidence, communication skills, and interper- sonal skills- all at no cost to the student. Employers are willing to pay very good salaries to Co-Op students while they obtain those valuable skills. It is also a good form of job insurance for the students. Many students return to campus for their senior year with a job offer from their Co-Op company. Initial salary offers may be up to 25% higher for students who have participated in the Co-Op program.” Professor Wood remarked that he had become friends with many of the Co-Op students. For example, he was working to complete a “Second Generation Co-Op” poster that included photos of former students’ babies. He kept in touch with a large number of the students he has placed in Co-Op positions over the years. In these volunteer/retirement years, he was thankful every day for the student interaction that the Co-Op program provides. Professor Wood believed in the good of the program and combined with his vast experience, he was able to help the students in every aspect as they transitioned from campus to job and back to campus. He truly loved his work and was committed to serving the students. He enjoyed riding his bicycle to work and also played handball to keep fit. His “retirement” could not have been any busier. His devotion to Civil Engineering, Purdue’s Cooperative Education Program and his students will be sorely missed by all.
