Missouri University of Science & Technology
GE 1150 Physical Geology for Engineers. 4-unit lower division mandatory course for civil, environmental, geological, and mining engineering majors. Two hours lecture and 3 hours lab/discussion per week, and three one-day field trips. I try to focus each lecture on a particular aspect of geology and how it relates to or impacts engineered works. The course includes numerous anecdotes to natural disasters and engineering failures to illustrate points. I use colored chalk on board, color slides, videos and PowerPoint to illustrate key points. Invite students to provide e-mail feedback. Conclude each lecture five minutes before ending time to solicit questions. I begin every lecture with 5 minutes going over questions that had come in on e-mail, phone, notes, or office visits. I try to learn my students’ names by taking photos of them holding name cards, then memorizing. Try to show lots of things that are unique and interesting, things they never would have been exposed to elsewhere. The course enrollments have increased each semester: 57 students in Spring 2002; 85 students in Spring 2003; 96 students in Spring 2004; 70 students in Spring 2005; 96 students in Spring 2006; 99 students in Spring 2007, 96 students in Spring 2008, 134 students in Spring 2009, 142 students in Spring 2010, 147 students in Spring 2012, 150 students in Spring 2013, 149 students in Spring 2014, 90 students in Fall 2014, 147 students in Spring 2015, 137 students in Fall 2015, 136 students in Spring 2016, led three field trips in Fall 2016 (10% course load), and led three field trips in Spring 2017 (10% course load).. http://web.mst.edu/~rogersda/umrcourses/ge50/
GE 110 Principles of Geological Engineering. During the fall and spring semesters I deliver one or two one-hour lectures in the freshman seminar. This is usually a topic of general interest intended to broaden scope of student’s understanding about range of activities in which geological engineers routinely work, and to inform them about the various requirements and milestones associated with professional registration as engineers and geologists.
GE 301 Development of Flood Control Engineering in the United States. This course was developed to serve the interests of Army engineering officers from Fort Leonard Wood enrolled in our MS degree program. The course is intended to familiarize geologists, geographers, planners, civil and geological engineers with the fundamental principles of flood control engineering, as it evolved in the United States
an equal opportunity institution Academic Resume of J. David Rogers Page 30
from the mid-19th Century, onward, with particular emphasis on the Corps of Engineers role in effecting a national program of flood control and riverine navigation. Course website http://web.mst.edu/~rogersda/umrcourses/ge301/
GE 4010 Senior Seminar in Geological Engineering. During fall and spring semesters I provide two one-hour lectures on a more specific topic in geological engineering, usually related to site characterization, engineering failures or professional practice and registration issues, including what steps candidates should take to prepare themselves for such exams. Course coordinator during fall 2008, fall 2016, and spring 2017.
GE 5441 Engineering Geology and Geotechnics. This is a required upper division 3-unit course which presents the fundamental principles, procedures and techniques employed in engineering geologic site characterization and providing geotechnical input for design of engineered structures. Emphasis is placed on the differences between soil and rock mechanics and between surface and subsurface flow. Students are also exposed to the fundamentals of geotechnical report preparation and are required to prepare three different kinds of reports using standard form and phraseology they will expect to see in industry. Useful reference materials, selected reading assignments, and background materials for written assignments are posted on the course website http://web.mst.edu/~rogersda/umrcourses/ge341 Enrollments have been as follows: 31 students in Fall 2001; 14 students in Fall 2002; 21 students in Fall 2003; 11 students in Fall 2004, 18 students in Fall 2005; 9 students in Fall 2006, 26 students in fall 2007, 26 students in Fall 2008, 30 students in Fall 2009, 41 students in Fall 2010, 56 students in Fall 2011, 54 students in Fall 2012 (during sabbatical), 53 students in Fall 2013, 64 students in Fall 2014, 56 students in Fall 2015, and 75 students in Fall 2016.
GE 5642 Military Geology. This course was developed by myself to serve the interests of Army engineer officers from Fort Leonard Wood enrolled in our MS degree program; for scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey involved in the National Map and Homeland Security and scientists at the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency in St. Louis. The course is intended to familiarize geologists, geographers, planners, civil and geological engineers with the fundamental principles of physical geology, geohydrology and geomorphology as applied to military and national security problems, such as fortifications, core infrastructure, water resources, environmental security, combat engineering and post-conflict reconstruction requirements. Reading assignments and more than 70 Powerpoint lectures are posted on the course website http://web.mst.edu/~rogersda/umrcourses/ge342 Enrollments have been: 6 students in spring 2002; 11 students in fall 2002; 7 students in Spring 2003; 10 students in Fall 2003; 8 students in Spring 2004; 7 students in Summer 2004; 9 students for USGS offering in Summer 2004; 7 students in Fall 2004; 14 students in Spring 2005; 12 students in Fall 2005; 8 students in Spring 2006; 6 students in Summer 2006; 4 students in Spring 2007; 6 students in Summer 2007, 12 students in Fall 2007, 21 students in Fall 2008, 17 students in Spring 2009, 4 students in Summer 2009, 11 students in Summer 2014, and 16 students in Fall 2014.
GE 5090 Geological Engineering Senior Design. Open-ended project design course for seniors in geological engineering requiring the collection of data, analysis and synthesis of that data and design of a socially acceptable and professional responsible cost-effective solution to an engineering problem. The course required two written reports, preparation of bid and specifications, estimate of construction costs, and an oral presentation. 5 students in Fall 2010, 14 students in Fall 2011, 15 students in Fall 2013, 15 students in Fall 2014, 16 students in Fall 2015, and 21 students in Fall 2016.
GE 6441 Geotechnical Construction Practice. 3-unit graduate course presenting advance-level lecture topics, focused on geotechnical practice. The course centers on presenting applicable minimum standards of practice established by laws and codes, with emphasis on applicable standards-of-care, which vary from place to place. Fundamentals of earthwork excavation and grading standards are presented, including excavation methods, soil compaction, surface drainage and erosion control, slope face treatment, subsurface drainage, and input for design of earth retention structures. Each of these topics are presented along with the variations of local practice, which evolve from experience and geographic location. The concept of geotechnical baseline reports, contract language and industry standard limitation of liability clauses are also introduced. Evolution of standard sampling techniques for soil and rock exploration and

On May 1, 2005 the USGS Geography Discipline established the "Mid-Continent Geographic Science Center" (MCGSC) in Rolla, MO. MCGSC is a new entity within the Geography discipline that will be focusing on applying remote sensing and GIS technologies to tackle geohazards problems in GIS format for state and federal agencies.
A Memorandum of Understanding between UMR and the USGS-MCGSC was signed on October 10, 2005. 50% of my time during the 2005-06 academic year was purchased by the USGS to oversee research projects with the MCGSC’s new "Geographic Hazards and Land Change Section." That section wants to establish a credible program of research in a number of hazard areas, including debris flows, fire-flood sequences, landslides, and floods.
