    Second United States – Japan Workshop on “Structural Dynamics and Monitoring of Bridges and Flexible Structures against Wind Hazards” November 12-14, 2011 Venue: Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston MA Stearns Research Building, Room 431 Organized and Partially Sponsored by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Northeastern University Second US-Japan Workshop on “Structural Dynamics and Monitoring of Bridges and Flexible Structures against Wind Hazards” Northeastern University - November 12-14, 2011 Themes of the Workshop This workshop is a platform for sharing information on the latest developments on structural dynamics and monitoring of bridges and slender structures with an emphasis to wind hazards. Topics will include, but will be not limited to: structural dynamics, random vibrations, numerical methods, experimental methods (wind tunnel and full scale), monitoring and structural identification, aerodynamic and aeroelastic phenomena, stochastic simulations. The main focus of the workshop will be on flexible bridges. Nevertheless, presentations related to other slender structures affected by wind hazards, such as buildings, and other emerging applications will be welcome. Invited speakers from Japan and United States are kindly requested to prepare a 20-minute PPT presentation. Each presentation will be followed by a brief discussion (5 minutes). The objective of these presentations is to promote discussion among researchers and to possibly identify common topics for future academic interaction.

  • Agricultural Education Competencies: a Comparison of Master's Students at Texas Tech and Texas A&M Universities
    AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION COMPETENCIES: A COMPARISON OF MASTER’S STUDENTS AT TEXAS TECH AND TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITIES James R. Lindner, Assistant Professor Texas A&M University Matt Baker, Professor Texas Tech University Abstract This study was designed to describe Texas Tech and Texas A&M universities agricultural education master’s students’ perceived competencies. A survey of active and continuously enrolled master’s students was conducted. A 60% response rate was achieved. Data for the study were collected by mailed and online questionnaires. Study findings showed that students at both institutions had similar levels of competencies. Students had highest levels of theories, techniques, and processes that enhance the teacher-learner process for adults and youth; content skills such as reading comprehension and mathematics that provide a foundation for the acquisition of more specific skills; communication abilities such as oral comprehension, written expression, speech clarity, and auditory attention that are needed to focus attention and deliver information and communicate effectively. Students had lowest levels of theories, principles, and practices related to agricultural development in cross-national settings; technical skills such as technology design and operations analysis that are needed to use information technologies effectively; and perceptual, spatial, and memory abilities, such as speed and flexibility of closure, visualization, and recollection, that are needed to identify and make sense of complexly related material and systems. Recommendations include increased professional conversations about our philosophical basis, knowledge bases, and contextual applications.

The Texas Tech University System Board of Regents awarded the titles to Dr. Vivien Allen, Department of Plant and Soil Sciences; Dr. Susan Hendrick, Department of Psychology; Dr. Greg McKenna, Department of Chemical Engineering; Dr. Sunanda Mitra, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; and Dr. Marilyn Phelan, School of Law. The Horn Professorship was established in 1966 to recognize scholarly achievement and outstanding service to Texas Tech. The honor is named for Texas Tech’s first president Paul Whitfield Horn. Since its inception, 62 members of the faculty have been appointed Horn Professors; 25 remain on the faculty. “These men and women are the best in their fields,” said Jon Whitmore, president of Texas Tech University. “Horn Professors are valued on our campus not only for their outstanding academic reputations but also for their contributions to producing the very best education for our students.” Allen is the Thornton Distinguished Chair and professor of forage crop management and utilization in the Department of Soil Sciences. She joined Texas Tech in 1995. She earned her bachelor’s degree at the University of Tennessee, Martin, and her master’s and doctoral degrees from Louisiana State University.

  • Department of Psychological Sciences Fall 2017 Newsletter
    FALL 2017 From the Department Chair, Dr. Robert Morgan The 2017-2018 academic year promises to be one of opportunities and challenges. The year started off tragically with the fatal shooting of TTU Police Officer Floyd East Jr. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the East family. This devastating incident was obviously very stressful for the university, including our students, some of whom were locked in their research labs during the campus-wide lock down. During such times it is essential that communities pull together and I’m pleased to report that our faculty and graduate students eagerly assisted in university efforts as they volunteered to help with grief and stress response groups offered across campus. Our department’s faculty and students saw an opportunity to serve, and I am very proud of their compassionate efforts. On a brighter note, we welcome two new faculty members to the department: Ryne Sherman, Associate Professor in Social Psychology, and Paul Ingram, Assistant Professor in Counseling Psychology. They introduce themselves in the video links included in this newsletter. Regarding our building, well, we face more challenges. Although we have the plans finalized for an expansion of our current building and we anticipated breaking ground on the expansion in February 2017, we were ultimately over budget, resulting in a delay. Dean Lindquist is initiating a capital campaign to raise funds for the additional money needed to finance the expansion. I hope you will be contacted by the college, but if not, and you wish to contribute to our fundraising efforts, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
