Section 1: Departmental Overview and Mission
1. State the mission, goals and objectives of your department.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Civil and Environmental Department is to provide high quality, state-of-the-art
educational and research programs in relevant professional disciplines with an appropriate balance
between undergraduate and graduate programs. The department strives for excellence in its
academic programs, its research endeavors, and its university, community and professional service
activities. The program is designed to prepare our students for success in their immediate, as well
as long-term, professional careers as practitioners, for obtaining a professional license, for pursuing
advanced studies and becoming life-long learners.
Goal and Vision
Our department strives to become one of the top urban civil/environmental engineering
departments in the United States in terms of the quality and effectiveness of its academic
programs, the reputation of its faculty, the visibility and relevance of its research endeavors, and
the learning and research environment it provides to its students. We will continue to develop and
improve our curricula, experimental and computational laboratories, instruction delivery systems,
research project activities, and enhancing the quality of life for our students and faculty. We will
support faculty development through participation in technical and professional meetings, and
community activities. These will enable us to make useful contributions to the improvement of the
natural and built environment in metropolitan Detroit, State of Michigan, the nation, and the world
in the short- and long –term.

2. Describe governance, structure, and organization of your unit.
The department is governed collegially with active participation of the faculty in policy making,
and in decisions affecting academic programs, curriculum, and future directions for research.
Faculty meetings are held regularly (approximately once a month) to discuss important issues and
challenges facing the department and try to build consensus on how these issues should be tackled.
Matters of more routine or mundane nature are usually communicated by the chair to the faculty
through e-mail messages, informing them of items of importance and seeking input/feedback as
necessary. All important decisions are put on record in the form of meeting minutes, or action
items. Besides the formal interaction between the chair and faculty at the meetings, extensive
informal interactions regularly take place through office visitations and individual discussions at
lunch and other social/professional gatherings.
The department chair administers the departmental budget, assigns workloads to faculty, and signs
all academic, personnel, budget, and other administrative paperwork. The department is assisted by
a full-time secretary, a full-time technician and five half-time graduate teaching assistants (on
general fund). Several student assistants are also employed by the department (on soft-money) to
help with administrative functions such as reception, filing, word processing; and with grading
homework, laboratory reports, installing software, etc. Activities of all departmental personnel are
supervised by the chair.
Two standing committees in the department are elected by the faculty each year: (1) Tenure and
Promotion Committee, and (2) Salary (Personnel Evaluation) Committee. The chair heads both
committees; without vote on the former, and with vote on the latter. The departmental Salary
Committee determines the unit-select portion of the faculty merit raises. With input from this
committee, the chair provides recommendations to the dean regarding the relative merit raise to be
awarded to individual faculty from the President/Dean‟s pool.
Besides these committees, other committees and task forces are formed in the department as
necessary. Since the department is rather small (nine full time faculty and the chair), the whole
faculty assembly serves as a committee in such things as graduate matters, curriculum, budget, etc.
This arrangement has served us very well over the years. The department elects or assigns
representatives to standing or ad hoc College committees, and supplies members to standing or ad
hoc University committees, as well.
Finally, the chairman is assisted by a departmental faculty member, appointed as Graduate
Program Officer--GPO (to administer graduate admissions and programs). The same faculty
member, Tom Heidtke, has also been serving as Undergraduate Advising Coordinator. The
department shares an Academic Advisor with Mechanical Engineering, whose primary role is to
monitor the curricular requirements of the undergraduate, as well as the graduate students. She
assists both the chair and the Graduate Program Officer when student information is needed, and
interfaces with the University Office of Admissions and Records in matters related to admission,
registration, and certification of graduation.
From the academic standpoint, the department has five specialty areas: structures, geotechnical,
environmental, transportation and construction management. There are three full-time faculty
members in the structures group (Drs. Aktan, Fu and Wu); two in geotechnical (Drs. Kagawa and
Yesiller); two in environmental (Dr. Heidtke and Miller); two in transportation (Drs Datta and
6
Khasnabis) and one in Construction Management (Dr. Usmen). The full-time faculty teach
undergraduate and graduate courses in their specialty areas, develop proposals, conduct research
and supervise graduate students, and serve on departmental, college, university committees, as well
as on local, national and international committees. In addition to full-time faculty, the department
employs a significant member of part-time/adjunct faculty members from the area firms and
government offices, who make valuable contributions to our academic program by teaching
selected undergraduate and / or graduate courses.
The department has an Advisory Board composed of prominent members of the civil /
environmental / construction engineering community representing both the private and public
sector. This group of 15 senior engineers meets twice a year with the department chair and the
faculty, and provides guidance and advise on strategic matters related to curriculum, research,
fund-raising type issues. They also serve as judges for the senior capstone design projects.
Students participate in the activities of the student chapters of American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE), Chi Epsilon Honor Fraternity, Associated General Contractors (AGC), and Michigan
Society of Professional Engineers (MSPE). Faculty advisors provide guidance and supervision to
these groups.
3. Describe how your unit interacts with other units within the university or with similar
units in other universities (collaborative efforts, cooperative arrangements, etc.).
Department faculty has a solid tradition of interdisciplinary activities within the university and
outside the university. Internally, our structures group have had on-going communications with the
solid mechanics group of the Mechanical Engineering in the development and delivery of
undergraduate statics / mechanics of materials and dynamics courses, as well as the graduate
courses on advanced mechanics, finite elements and composites. Research collaboration has also
been established with this group regarding the use of composites in civil infrastructure
applications. Extensive interactions have existed over the years between our faculty in
environmental engineering and the faculty of Chemical Engineering. Our faculty have worked with
them in the delivery of hazardous waste management courses, and on research dealing with PCB
transport, water quality modeling, and remediation technologies. Other collaborative efforts
between our faculty and others at Wayne State include our transportation group‟s participation in
the NSF Greenfield Coalition with the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department, joint
research with Law School on Superfund sites and with the Center for State Policy (of the College
of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs) on cross-border transfer of Professional Engineers.
Research collaboration with other universities in Michigan, other states, and other countries has
also been quite extensive. Within the state, our structures faculty regularly interact with faculty
from the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Michigan Technological
University through the research activities of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).
This has led to several joint research efforts with Michigan Tech in the areas of concrete durability
and bridges. Our environmental faculty have also collaborated with their counterparts at the
University of Michigan and Michigan Tech on research dealing with contaminant transport and
non-point source pollution. At a more local level an excellent partnership has been established
between the geotechnical faculties of Wayne State and Lawrence Tech University focusing on
landfills and geosynthetics. Finally, collaborative ties have recently developed with faculty from
Eastern Michigan University in the area of construction safety.
7
Outside the state, close ties have existed between our faculty and those at Lehigh University‟s
ATLSS Center, Drexel University‟s Geosynthetics Research Institute, University of Wisconsin
Madison‟s Transportation Research Center, and with earthquake researches at SUNY Buffalo,
Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of Florida and University of Southern California. Most
recently, our geotechnical faculty have begun collaborative research communications with faculty
in Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Our faculty also have also had interactions with faculty in other
countries, including Japan, Korea, Thailand, India, China, Egypt and Turkey. These have been
partly for research collaboration, and partly for recruiting doctoral students.
4. Is your program accredited? By what agency?
The BS program in Civil Engineering is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET). Our program was reviewed by ABET most the recently in 2000, and we
received the NGR (Next General Review) rating, which is the highest rating possible. The next
ABET visit and review for our department will be conducted in 2006. The full texts of the 2000
ABET Self-Study Report and ABET‟s evaluation are available in departmental files.
5. List the top 2 universities that you believe have departments of a similar nature to your
department. How are they comparable?
University of Pittsburgh; University of Illinois at Chicago.
The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Wayne State University has 10 full-time
faculty (including the department chair), and offers BS, MS, and PHD programs in an urban
setting. It has an undergraduate student population of 73 (as of Fall 2002), and has large masters
and doctoral programs in terms of the numbers of students per full-time faculty. In Fall 2002, we
had 138 active MS students, and 30 active PhD students. All full-time faculty are engaged
meaningfully in research, and supervise doctoral students. The research conducted by the faculty is
funded by federal, state, local government and private / industry sources. The research
expenditures in FY 2000, FY 2001, and FY 2002 were $ 802,000, $965,000, and $1.2 million,
respectively. Five graduate specializations are covered in the department, as previously discussed.
Masters and PhD students can specialize in, and are subscribed to, all of these disciplines. The
department‟s graduate students are partially engineers locally employed by public or private
agencies (municipalities, consulting firms, construction firms) attending our program part-time;
and partially full-time jobs on campus, and a good number of them holding Graduate Research
Assistant (GRA) or Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) positions. In Fall 2002, the department
had 21 GRA‟s and 5 GTA‟s. A large percentage of our GRA‟s and GTA‟s are international
students.
Our graduate courses are offered in the evenings to accommodate the working professionals.
Typically, we offer our graduate courses after 5 pm, the classes being mostly held on two evenings
per week. Many of our part-time students drive to campus from work locations scattered around
the metropolitan area, park, and go to the classroom. Our full-time students typically live on or
near campus, and spend most of their time on their research projects in the laboratories or in the
field. Upon graduation, many of our graduate students find positions in the Detroit area; some
leave the state, and a good number of international students return to their home countries. Of the
PhD graduates, many take advanced engineering positions in government and industry; some take
8
academic positions. A majority of our PhD graduates, who are international students, take
academic positions in their home countries when they return.
We tried to identify two urban civil engineering departments, which have somewhat similar
characteristics to ours. After considering several possibilities, we decided on the departments at the
University of Pittsburgh and the University of Illinois at Chicago. Both of these departments are
fairly similar to our department in terms of the degree programs offered, research specializations
covered, research funding in terms of expenditures and funding agencies, the composition of the
graduate student body, and the stature and quality of their faculty and graduate programs. We are a
little stronger in research funding than the University of Pittsburgh but slightly weaker than the
University of Illinois at Chicago. According to the NSF rankings based on FY 2000 research
expenditures, our department ranks no. 79, Pittsburgh ranks no. 88, and Illinois-Chicago ranks no.
58. Pittsburgh has considerably better state-funded staff support (secretarial and technician), more
GTA positions, and has two faculty endowments. Illinois-Chicago has a very respectable materials
science group which accounts for part of their strong funding. They also have more secretarial,
technician and GTA support than we do.
Further comparisons are provided on Form 1BD. All of the information covered in this section is
based on telephone interviews with the civil engineering chairs of the two institutions to which
comparisons are drawn.
6. List the top university to which the department realistically aspires. How was this
university selected?
The University of Cincinnati.
The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Cincinnati was selected
as the one we realistically aspire to for the following reasons:
(a) It is an urban department which ranks considerably higher than ours (no. 24), based on
NSF research expenditures for FY 2000.
(b) It has a much larger faculty size – 26
(c) Its annual research expenditures is significantly more than ours ($7.8 M), with a higher
amount of federal funding.
(d) It has a larger PhD program, and produces more PhD graduates per faculty per year.
The CEE Department at UC has a major research center funded by the Environmental Protection
Agency, which provides excellent visibility to the department and stable funding for graduate
student support. It also has a much better administrative infrastructure support structure within the
department with one experienced administrative assistant, four secretaries and two accountants, all
funded by the university. In addition, there are 3 hard-money technician positions.
They cover the same graduate specializations as we do; however, their emphasis on environmental
engineering is much stronger, and they have an ABET accredited environmental engineering MS
program. They have been able to draw significant members of native-born MS and PhD students,
especially to the environmental program. We believe that what is being presently accomplished at
UC in terms of research productivity and PhD program characteristics is within our reach.
The information presented in this section is based on a telephone conversation with the CEE
9
department chair at UC. More detailed comparison information is provided in Form 2BD.
Section 2: Faculty
Part 1 - Overview
1. Describe the practices, policies, goals and achievements with regard to faculty:
a. Recruitment
We have recruited aggressively in the past decade, whenever we had vacant faculty positions.
Although we have targeted a certain specialty area each time we advertised for a position, we have
been flexible in terms of rank as well as background, so we could hire the best possible person into
the position. We have offered excellent start-up packages (for research equipment, summer
support, and graduate assistant, with reduced initial teaching load) in order to attract highly
talented individuals. We have used national and local advertising in professional magazines and
the CE department heads list serve on the Internet. We have also made numerous personal contacts
to expand the applicant pool. This approach has worked very well for us, resulting in the hiring of
three highly successful faculty members.
b. Retention
We have had only two registrations from our department over the past decade. One faculty member
took a position at another university as the CE department chair; and the other took a tenured
faculty position at an engineering department of another university, where he has recently become
department chair. We have only one untenured assistant professor in our department at the present
time; 3 tenured associated professors, and 6 tenured professors. More than half of the faculty in the
department received their tenure within the past decade. The good work environment, competitive
salaries, and collegial support from the senior faculty in the department are mainly responsible for
the unusually low turn-over rate we have had here. Faculty retention has also been helped with
excellent university support for equipment, travel, and other expenses needed by the faculty to
successfully perform their work.
c. Mentoring
We have had excellent mentoring practices in our department where senior faculty have guided the
junior faculty in the development of their research programs, which included collaborative research
proposal development and project administration. We have had many instances when the
department chair or a senior faculty member accompanied a younger faculty on a visit to a funding
agency, showing the broader interest and support that exist in the department on the potential
research project to be discussed. It is not uncommon at all that the drafts of new research proposals
by junior faculty are reviewed by senior faculty to suggest improvements. Also, faculty (junior and
senior) are regularly provided detailed feedback by the department chair on their performance in
research, teaching and service, with suggestions and guidance on how to improve their
performance. The excellent success that our faculty have had in getting tenured is partly creditable
to the strong mentoring system in our department.
10
d. Evaluation of teaching
Every civil engineering course taught by our faculty is evaluated at the end of each semester by the
students using SET (Student Evaluation of Teaching) forms. These forms contain questions on
both the quality of the instructor / instruction and the quality of the course. Extensive comments
can be provided by the students as part of this evaluation, as well. Having a relatively small
department, we have been able to establish a faculty performance evaluation system which allows
each faculty to evaluate all other faculty in the department, regardless of rank. This not only serves
as a fair system, reducing the impact of potentially self-serving evaluations (by averaging the
results), but also provides the opportunity to all faculty to learn about the positive and negative
indicators and aspects of teaching by observing the situations in other courses. Feedback to
individual faculty on teaching performance and improvement strategies is provided by the
department chair, incorporating the peer evaluations.
In addition to SET evaluations, teaching excellence is evaluated by the Tenure and Promotion
Committees at the departmental, college and university levels; as well as by the Chair, the Dean,
and ultimately the Provost.This is done on the basis of a teaching portfolio submitted by the faculty
member under consideration. The teaching portfolio typically contains the candidate‟s statement on
teaching philosophy, course schedules, learning objectives, outcomes assessment, course materials
(handouts, exams, homework, projects), and other documents as pertinent. Finally, we run an exit
survey with graduating seniors each year, and occasionally obtain informal feedback from our
students on how well our curricular objectives are being met in various classes. This also gives our
faculty some indication of how well their teaching is being received by the students.
e. Affirmative action
We have made a concerted effort to attract qualified minorities and women in every faculty search
we have run over the past decade. We have identified at least one minority and one woman
candidate in each of the three searches we have conducted, and we have made an offer to either a
woman or a minority candidate wherever we found her / him qualified. This approach has resulted
in one female hire, increasing the number of woman faculty in our department to two. Both of our
women faculty are presently tenured.
2. What is the number of faculty the department expects to recruit in the next 7 years, given
the expected retirements?
Given the age demographics of our department, we expect two senior faculty to retire in the next
seven years, opening up two positions in the transportation engineering discipline. Since both of
these faculty are excellent teachers and highly productive researchers, it would not be prudent to
wait until they retire to fill their positions, in that, it is important to maintain the continuity of
operations at the very high level that exist in our transportation group today. Consequently, we
would like to bring on board at least one highly promising younger transportation faculty within
the next few years, so he / she can participate in a smooth transition of responsibilities, especially
over the expanding research program on transportation safety. Concurrently, or at the time of the
11
first retirement, we would like to recruit another faculty in transportation with expertise on mass
transit, transportation planning and asset management. In addition, we would like to add faculty in
the areas of water / waste water treatment and construction management, where there is high
demand for graduate study and excellent research opportunities. Systems engineering orientation,
and computer-based research and application background would be sought in all new faculty hires.
In an optimistic scenario where more faculty lines could be available, we would like to expand
into bio and nanotechnology applications in civil engineering, as well as homeland/infrastructure
security issues, by pursuing new faculty in such specializations.
3. Describe the challenges you face in recruiting high quality faculty.
We believe we have been successful in recruiting high quality faculty, because we have been able
to offer them competitive salaries, excellent start-up support, and a work environment conducive to
their achieving their career goals. A significant challenge in the years ahead will be to preserve the
situation with salaries and start-up support. One of the disappointments of the new (as well as the
old) faculty here has been the inadequacy of business operations such as budget accounting,
purchasing, personnel appointments, etc. Inefficiencies exist at all levels; department, college and
university. This can become a major disadvantage in hiring new faculty of the highest quality
because they can see this as an impediment to meeting their research goals if they have to work
under these conditions. Lack of support (secretarial and technician) staff of adequate quantity and
quality and our possible inability to bring a solution to this problem will be another major
challenge in faculty recruitment. Wayne State being located in an urban area which has frequently
gotten adverse national publicity, having responsibilities of teaching courses in the evenings, and
the commuting nature of the campus community have also come up in discussions with some
faculty candidates as negative factors, and these issues may present a challenge in recruiting high
quality faculty. Finally, we have to continue developing and improving our academic and research
programs and keep improving our reputation and image as a department in order to be able to
attract truly outstanding faculty.
4. How do you expect these challenges to change in the next 7 years?
We expect same short-term difficulties with state funding which might constrain the growth of
academic and research programs at Wayne State to some degree. On the other hand, important
investments have been recently made by the University to improve the physical facilities, which
should provide significant opportunities for program improvements after the effects of the current
financial problems are mitigated. Further development of the Wayne State campus and the
surrounding areas such as the new Research and Technology Park is expected to have a positive
impact on the engineering programs. Efforts are also under way university-wide to improve the
efficiency of business operations by the use of computerized systems, such as Banner.
5. Describe national and international impact of faculty on their discipline.
The faculty of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department are leading experts in their
fields with national and international recognition. They publish regularly in prestigious journals,
attend national and international conferences to present papers (and sometimes keynote speeches),
chair technical sessions, and participate in committee meetings. Several faculty have participated
in the organization of conferences; have served on committees that develop national / international
standards; have contributed to many volumes of books and monographs by writing chapters; and
12
have been reviewers of book manuscripts, journal and conference papers, and proposals for state
and federal agencies, including serving on NSF panels. A majority of the faculty are licensed
professional engineers.
Individual faculty activities and accomplishments are listed in their CVs. Some highlights are
presented below.
Dr. Aktan has made important contributions to the field of active, passive and hybrid controls for
seismic safety, followed by the vulnerability assessment and upgrade of structures based on
nondestructive evaluation methods. His most recent thrust area has been the durability of concrete
structures. He has established an MDOT sponsored Center for Structural Durability in cooperation
with faculty from Michigan Tech, which has been engaged in cutting-edge research on the
durability of bridge decks and pavements. Dr. Aktan‟s recognition in this field is exemplified by
the keynote paper he recently presented at the Structures FIB Congress in Osaka, Japan.
Dr. Datta‟s research work on highway and traffic safety has received national and international
recognition as indicated by the many papers he has published in the ITE journals, Transportation
Research Records and numerous national and international conference proceedings. He has
disseminated his information not only through publications, but also through seminars and training
courses sponsored by the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning and the Federal Highway
Administration. Dr. Datta leads the Transportation Research Group at Wayne State University, a
group of 25 personnel (graduate students, undergraduate students and support staff) housed in a
separate facility (Schaver Building) on campus. The work of this group is currently funded by
MDOT, MOHSP, AAA-Michigan, City of Detroit, and SEMCOG, with annual expenditures on the
order of $750,000. Dr. Datta is a fellow of ITE.
Dr. Fu is an authority on the diagnostic load testing of bridges and has received significant FHWA
funding for a research center at Wayne State University for Advanced Bridge Engineering. As the
Head of the Structures Research at NYSDOT, he directed a materials and mechanics related
program with annual expenditures exceeding $1 million. At Wayne State, he successfully led an
NCHRP project on Truck Weight Effects on Bridge Network Costs, which introduced a new
methodology for state agencies to estimate the costs associated with increase in truck weight limits.
His recent research on the investigation of the Adequacy of Current Design Loads in Michigan has
led to an MDOT initiative to revise the design loads. Dr. Fu has published prolifically, and
presented invited seminars worldwide. He has served as a control group member of ASCE‟s
Bridge Safety Committee and chaired the TRB Subcommittee A2C05 on the Field Testing of
Bridges.
Dr. Heidtke specializes in water resources economics ad water quality with a focus on the Great
Lakes Ecosystem. He has received awards from the Water Environment Federation for excellent
service, and twice for authoring outstanding papers. He regularly receives inquiries about his
research from academic and nonacademic researches, which attest to the quality and significance
of his work.
Dr. Kagawa‟s research interest on earthquake-induced soil liquefaction has led him to establishing
collaboration with the world‟s leading researchers in earthquake engineering. He interacts with the
NIED Group in Japan on a regular basis, and makes frequent visits to Japan to continue his
participation with research on large-scale simulation of seismic loads on foundations using two-
13
and three-dimensional shake tables. The national and international impact of this research is
extremely significant on the earthquake-resistant design of shallow and deep foundations.
Dr. Khasnabis is an accomplished researcher in transportation engineering with a thrust on transit.
He has published extensively in ITE and ASCE journals, as well as Transportation Research
Records, in addition to conference proceedings. He has collaborated with national transportation
research centers at the University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin funded by USDOT,
and has had research funding from MDOT and NSF (through the Greenfield Coalition). His recent
work on Transit Asset Management is aimed at developing optimal resource allocation strategies
for bus purchase and rebuilding, which will have an important impact on the asset management
programs of transportation agencies.
Dr. Miller is a specialist in groundwater hydrology and modeling and has received several NSF
grants on the various aspects of the desiccation cracking of clayey landfill liners, in addition to
industry funded projects. She has graduated many PhD‟s who have had successful careers in
industry and academia. She has made contributions to a large number of books and monographs by
authoring chapters in them covering a range of topics related to clay liners and groundwater. She is
a regular panelist on NSF proposal reviews, and is a leader in professional licensure issues (in the
State of Michigan and nationally.) Dr. Miller was recently an invited keynote speaker at the
International Symposium on Environmental Geotechnology and Sustainable Development in
Seoul, Korea.
Dr. Usmen was a part of a group at West Virginia University, which did ground-breaking research
on the characterization of coal-associated wastes (fly ash, bottom ash, and coal refuse) for use in
civil engineering applications. He then established and directed the Center for Excellence in
Construction Safety (funded by NIOSH) which made a national / international impact on that field
by disseminating important information through publications, seminars and short courses. He
authored a book entitled “Construction Safety and Health for Civil Engineers”, which was
distributed by ASCE to all CE departments in the country, and is still used as a reference by many
professors across the country. Dr. Usmen has had many leadership positions in professional /
technical societies, chairing the TRB Committee A2J01 on Cementitious Stabilization, serving as
the President of MSPE, and as Chair of the Design and Construction Strategic Interest Group of
the Engineering Society of Detroit. He has organized and chaired numerous national and
international conferences and sessions, and lectured worldwide on topics related to coal-waste
utilization, construction safety and quality, and professional engineering practice.
Dr. Wu has been involved with pioneering research dealing with the use of FRP composites in
structures through his post-doctoral experience at the University of Michigan, and has continued
this work at Wayne State University. These materials provide unique advantages of being
lightweight and corrosion resistant, and when their design and evaluation methods are fully
developed, they will have a major impact on infrastructure construction and rehabilitation. The
more recent research Dr. Fu has conducted on fiber reinforced concrete has a very favorable impact
on the ductility and crack-resistance of this construction material. Dr. Wu has published
extensively in his specialty area, has reviewed numerous papers, and participated frequently in the
organization of conferences and conference sessions. He has presented lectures at the U.S. and
foreign universities.
Dr. Yesiller made a very strong start at Wayne State University by receiving a CAREER Award
14
from NSF to work on nondestructive evaluation methods for geomembranes used in liner systems.
She has been very active with the ASTM Committee D-35 on Geosynthetics, as part of which she
is developing an ASTM standard for ultrasonic testing applications of geomembranes. The various
ultrasonic testing applications that she worked on represent innovative uses of this technique in
geotechnical engineering. She recently completed a landfill slide series, consisting of three
modules intended for graduate, undergraduate, and high school education. The series has been
distributed to 35 universities in the U.S., and universities in Jordan, Switzerland, and Australia.
Dr. Yesiller extensively participates with TRB committees and serves as a panelist for NSF
proposal reviews.

7. What recognition do faculty bring the program in the area of public service?
All of the department faculty have been active and have held leadership positions in the
committees of technical and professional societies. An abbreviated list includes, American Society
of Civil Engineering, National Society of Professional Engineers, American Concrete Institute,
Transportation Research Board, American Society of Testing and Materials, Institute of
Transportation Engineers, Water Environment Federation, and Engineering Society of Detroit.
Further details are provided in faculty CVs. Noteworthy among the public service activities are
Carol Miller‟s service as the Chairperson of Michigan Professional Engineering Registration and
Mumtaz Usmen‟s Service as the President of Michigan Society of Professional Engineers in 2002.
Our faculty participate in the organization and delivery of conferences, technical sessions,
workshops and seminars locally, nationally, and internationally, and many of the local and state
level activities are directed toward the solution of engineering problems that affect our area. Our
faculty are often called on to speak to the media (radio and TV) in areas of their expertise,
especially after significant events take place with implications of environmental, infrastructure, and
public safety concerns.
8. Describe the faculty’s participation in the university's goal to be the leading university in
15
research applied to urban needs and problems.
A large portion of our research is focused on civil engineering problems pertaining to urban areas.
We have been doing extensive research on urban mass transit, traffic safety, infrastructure
assessment and rehabilitation, disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, waste recycling, GIS
applications for municipal information management, water quality modeling, construction safety
and health, which are all very important issues for urban centers. We have been very successful in
obtaining funding from and working with the local government and industry, e.g. City of Detroit,
City of Novi, AAA – Michigan, Wayne County, SEMCOG, Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc., and
Great Lakes Construction Alliance. Most of the projects we do that are funded by MDOT also have
strong relevance to urban issues. An important aspect to mention here in regard to our
department‟s focus on urban problems is the excellent relationship we have established over the
years with the College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs. We have interacted with
CULMA on urban transportation and urban infrastructure issues, and we have a faculty member
(Gongkang Fu) who holds a CULMA coordinate faculty appointment.
9. Describe the faculty’s participation in the university's goals for global education.
Our faculty have been very active on the international scene participating in numerous conferences,
having joint research programs with overseas faculty, visiting campuses of foreign institutions to
give seminars, and to recruit graduate students. A majority of our graduate students come from
abroad. A number of our faculty are currently planning to spend their sabbatical leaves at foreign
universities.
10. Describe activities for faculty, such as colloquia, exchanges, lecture series, etc.
We regularly invite speakers from industry and other universities for guest lectures, and our faculty
guest lecture at other institutions. We also have a seminar series for our graduate students where
they present their research to fellow students and to faculty. Our faculty and advanced graduate
students frequently co-author papers and travel to national (and sometimes) international symposia
to present their papers.
11. What is the degree of faculty access to relevant technology?
CEE faculty have access to cutting-edge technologies.
12. Describe faculty involvement in alumni and development activities.
Our faculty fully support alumni and development activities by maintaining their contacts with the
graduates; attending special functions such as the Night of the Stars, Order of the Engineer, Honors
Convocation; making contributions to fund raising efforts; and interacting with the University and
College development officers on identifying donors and providing information for case statements.

3. Have department requirements changed since the last review? yes _____no
If yes, please describe the changes:
In view of the changes to the curriculum by adding new courses and modifying the existing courses, core
requirements were revised (see the CEE Graduate Student Handbook – Dec. 1999;
http://www.eng.wayne.edu/coe/main.cfm?location=403 )
4. How does the curriculum prepare a graduate who will be living and working in an
increasingly global society?
We have a truly multi-ethnic and multi-cultural community in the department with faculty, staff and
graduate students coming from many different countries in Asia, Middle East, Europe, and North
America. A good number of our graduate students comes to our department after having worked as
engineers in other countries. Many of our faculty are directly familiar with engineering research and
practice overseas, and are able to discuss them in their lectures. Papers published by foreign
researchers are often included in the state-of-the-art reviews of doctoral students, and foreign standards
are utilized in certain research projects. Interactions between the faculty and students of different
ethnic origins in the class lectures and in research labs provide excellent exposure to all on the global
aspects of the engineering profession.
5. Discuss the relationship of the doctoral program to the undergraduate program.
Our doctoral program relates to our undergraduate program in a number of ways. First, the information
and knowledge produced / gained in doctoral research, as well as doctoral course work, can be
incorporated in the lectures and labs taken by the undergraduate students. Many of our doctoral
students serve as teaching assistants in laboratory courses, and occasionally teach the lecture portions
of certain courses, as well. They thus have the opportunity to transfer their knowledge directly to the
undergraduate students. Secondly, undergraduate students are frequently hired as student assistants by
our faculty, and get to work and interact with the doctoral students on their projects where significant
information transfer takes place. This also exposes to the undergraduates to prospects of graduate
study, which may result in their continuing on as graduate students at Wayne State. Thirdly, many of
our faculty teach both undergraduate and advanced (doctorate) level graduate courses. This provides a
link between the undergraduate and doctoral program.

h. Secretarial support X
i. Merit pay _____
j. Other (GTA) X
7. The appointment of the Graduate Officer is: X 9-month _____ 12-month
8. What do you view as the most important external threats to your doctoral programs?
The factors that affect the long-term success of our doctoral program are the number and quality of our
students; the size of the department in terms the number of faculty; and the resources we have to work
with. Although we have not had much difficulty over the years to find doctoral students, it has been a
challenge to find those who have a very good combination of technical background and
communication skills. Our challenge in this regard is to be able to recruit doctoral students who are
self-starters, speak and write good technical English, have strong analytical and critical thinking skills,
and are adaptive to experimental work when necessary. As far as department size, trying to offer full
graduate programs (MS and PhD) in five different disciplines with ten full-time faculty is a formidable
challenge. Establishing a critical mass of doctoral level research projects in the individual disciplines
takes an enormous effort. With the growth that has taken place in our research programs over the past
few years, the resources (lab space, equipment, support staff, overall budget) have become barely
adequate to run viable doctoral programs. The possibility of the reduction / loss of these resources
would be a major threat to the success of our doctoral program. Inefficiency of business operations, as
stated earlier, exacerbates this problem.

Part 2 – Program Policies and Procedures, Course Description and Assessment
1. Please provide link to the WEB site address where the following information can be
obtained:
a. Programs offered
b. Type of degrees
c. Majors
d. Areas of specialization
e. Description of the common core requirements
f. Rationale for each program including selection of subject matter for study and prerequisites
g. Typical time to degree
http://www.eng.wayne.edu/coe/main.cfm?location=59
2. List courses for which students may receive degree credit under the headings: a) lab
courses; b) lecture courses; c) problems courses; d) reading courses; e) seminars; f) other.
We do not have any pure “laboratory” courses. The ones which have a very significant experimental
lab component are CE 7450 and CE 7500. Several other graduate courses, such as CE 6130, CE 7410,
CE 7550 have experimental lab components to a more moderate degree, and others such as CE 5370,
CE 6330, CE 7190, CE 7260, CE 7350, CE 7370, CE 7510, CE 7530, CE 7670, and CE 7830 have
extensive computer applications carried on in the computer lab. There are no pure “problem” courses,
although a large majority of our graduate courses incorporates problems. Lecture is predominately the
instructional mode in our graduate courses.
3. Briefly describe service courses and continuing education courses.
Our department does not provide any service courses to other units, although students from various
departments outside civil engineering enroll in our graduate courses. Also, we do not offer continuing
education courses on a regular basis; however, our graduate courses are open to qualified individuals
who would like to take them for professional advancement for a degree or non-degree option..
4. Describe the unit’s development of interdisciplinary teaching and research through such
means as the development of linkages with other departments, centers, or institutes.
Our structures faculty interact significantly with the solid mechanics and composites group in
Mechanical Engineering. This has led to interdisciplinary research, and students from both departments
take courses from the other. Similarly, there have been notable interactions with our environmental and
geoenvironmental faculty and the hazardous waste/environmental management oriented faculty in
Chemical Engineering, resulting in collaborative research, and students taking courses in both
departments. We also have had Urban Planning faculty work with our transportation and other faculty,
providing in-depth expertise in statistical analysis techniques. The Urban Transportation Center jointly
administered between our department and CULMA has catalyzed these interactions.
5. Briefly describe the methods your unit has developed, to enhance student appreciation
for other cultures and the place of their discipline within the values of their own culture
and those of others.
46
As previously stated, having a very diverse multi-ethnic and multi-cultural community in the
department presents a challenge to the faculty, students, staff and the department chair in terms making
sure that communications are effective, and an environment of mutual respect and tolerance prevails in
the department. These issues are frequently discussed among the faculty, between the faculty and the
students, and with the staff. Sensitivities are identified and the ways of addressing them are
determined. The department chair considers this issue a very high priority, and expends concerted
efforts to ensure that it is properly addressed at all times.
6. Describe the off-campus courses and programs offered by the department. How does the
department assure the quality of the programs and the adequacy of resources (faculty,
library, laboratory, etc.)?
There has not been a demand (that we are aware of) for any off-campus course offerings in civil
engineering, so we have never taken any initiative on this possibility. It does not appear that we would
have the resources, especially the lab and computer facilities, to offer a high quality graduate program
off-campus.
7. Describe procedures used to assess quality and effectiveness of course offerings; to delete
dormant courses; to develop and approve new courses; and to determine frequency and
scheduling of offerings.
The main instruments for assessing the effectiveness of graduate course offerings are the feedback
obtained from the students and from the faculty teaching the courses. As previously discussed, SET
evaluations are mandated for each course by the University and the summary results are returned to the
department chair in the following semester. The chair studies these evaluations very carefully, and
addresses any issues he sees appropriate by having a meeting with the faculty in question. He may get
more detailed feedback from the students to gain better insights into the problems that might exist with
the particular course, and discusses these problems with the faculty. In certain instances, student
feedback comes to the department chair during the semester, while the course is being taught. The
chair then decides on the best way to pursue the matter. It must be noted that teaching evaluations also
reveal excellence in faculty teaching, and this results in the department chair‟s commanding such
efforts. Continuous communications between the department chair and the faculty before, during and
after the offering of the courses provides an effective evaluation system, and it has worked for us well
for many years.
The University keeps track of courses not offered for a specified length of time, and flags such courses
to the department as “dormant”. It is up to the department to delete such courses permanently, or set a
date (semester) for offering them. Scheduling of courses is the department is the chair‟s responsibility.
He does this on a three-year planning window, with input from the faculty, and based on the demand
for the courses as jointly assessed by the faculty and the chair.
8. Describe accreditation status of your program, if an appropriate accreditation
organization exists.
The Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET accredits engineering programs either at
the undergraduate (BS) or graduate (MS) level. Like many other departments, we have opted for
accreditation at the BS level.
47
9. How does your program compare with the programs of similar departments in other
leading universities, considering factors such as staff, students, admission standards,
research, and scholarly activities, etc.?
Our MS program is a professionally oriented program with a great majority of the studentsgoing for
straight course work, without writing a thesis or problem report. This is especially suitable for local
part-time students who have limited or no interest in a PhD program. In most research universities, the
MS program is set up in a way that facilitates the preparation of students for advanced research with
an option to pursue the PhD degree.
10. Describe current trends in the discipline and how your department is responding to these
trends.
We have built our faculty expertise in areas where we believe there will be growth opportunities:
environmental hydrology, geoenvironmental engineering, civil infrastructure systems (advanced
materials, composites, durability enhancement), transportation safety and efficiency. As previously
indicated, we would like to add positions in transportation, water/wastewater and construction
management, hiring faculty with systems and computer backgrounds.
11. Describe how your unit provides access to programs and services for evening and
weekend students.
Our entire graduate program is an evening program. All of our courses are taught after 5:00 PM, and
occasionally on weekends.
12. Describe how your unit provides a balanced Spring/Summer schedule including 1) a
balance of senior, junior and graduate faculty, 2) a balanced range of course offerings,
and 3) the availability of support services.
With the current budgeting system, it is not feasible for us to provide a balanced spring/summer
schedule.
13. Describe how your unit identifies academically talented students and its programming
for those students.
Academically talented students are first identified during the screening of graduate admission applications
based on their transcripts, recommendations, TOEFL, and GRE scores, and then during the first few
semesters they are on board. Such students are usually the best candidates for GTA and GRA positions in the
department, as well as candidates for Rumble and other fellowships. In addition, our faculty visit certain
schools, from where we have had academically talented students in the past, to recruit new ones.

7. What do you view as the most important external threats to your masters programs?
The most important possible threat is the loss of funding for part-time faculty. Since our MS
program is advanced professional practice oriented, we engage a large number of part-time
faculty from industry in teaching the related courses. Inability to fund these positions would
have a devastating impact on our MS program. Another possible threat is the low or fluctuating
enrollments in certain specialty areas. We have discussed this issue extensively and appropriate
measures are being taken to prevent extreme situations.
50
Part 3 – Masters/Certificate Student Profile
1. Describe recruitment procedures for masters/certificate programs. Provide brochures, if
available.
Recruitment of students for our MS program is done by our graduate brochure (hard copy attached)
and by disseminating the appropriate information about our graduate programs on our department‟s
web page. The department gets numerous inquiries from prospective graduate students by e-mail
and telephone. These inquiries are directed to our Graduate Program Officer (Dr. Thomas
Heidtke). He responds to these inquiries by answering the students‟ questions on admissions,
financial aid, etc., and sends the application materials by mail, or refers the students to the
University website for electronic on-line application procedures. We have a pre-prepared applicant
response package, which includes information about our department, graduate program,
accommodations, etc. Dr. Heidtke also refers the applicants to individual faculty if more specific
information is being requested. Many of our applicants find out about our graduate programs from
the students who are already in the program.
2. Describe admission criteria.
Applicants must have an ABET accredited BS degree in Civil Engineering (or equivalent) to be
admitted to our MS program. Candidates from other engineering disciplines and from science
background are evaluated and may be given a regular admission, or qualified admission with
remedial course requirements. We require a GPA of 3.0 or better for regular admission to the
Masters program. Applicants with lower GPA‟s are evaluated and admitted on a qualified basis if
they demonstrate sufficient strength in their background to be able to succeed in our program. In
such cases they are usually required to obtain B or better grades in the first 12 credit hours of
graduate level CE course work.
At the present time, submission of GRE scores is optional. We do consider GRE scores in
admission and in the granting of assistantships, in addition to evaluating the student transcripts. A
TOEFL score of 550/213 or higher is required of all international students.
3. Describe orientation, advising, and retention procedures.
All MS students are advised by the individual faculty in the students‟ specialty area, as assigned by
the department chair. Keeping of student records, however, is handled by the Graduate Program
Officer (GPO) with support from the Advising Staff Person (Patrina Carper). Each MS student is
required to file a Plan of Work, showing whether Plan A (thesis) or Plan B (course work) option
will be followed, and the listing of all MS course work from the beginning to the end of the
program. A minimum of 32 credits are required with specified numbers of core courses in the
specialty area. Further details are provided in the CEE Graduate Student Handbook. Refer to
http://www.eng.wayne.edu/coe/main.cfm?location=403.
As far as retention, the GPO keeps a database of all MS students indicating last semester attended,
faculty advisors, contact e-mail, etc. From this database, we are able to identify those students who
have been away from school for one or more semesters, so they can be contacted to understand the
reason for their delay of progress. Advising assistance is provided to such individuals, if needed, to
51
phase them back to the program. When a student is in academic difficulty, i.e. GPA falling below
3.0, an administrative hold is placed on his/her registration for the next semester. Such students
must see their advisors and the department chair to have the hold removed. Focused advising takes
place at this stage with the aim of assisting the students toward improving their academic success.
The department does not have a formal orientation program for the MS students. Much of this
takes place on a one-on-one basis with the faculty, GPO, and chair. The College of Engineering
holds a Welcome Back Picnic at the beginning of every Fall semester, where all new students get
an opportunity to meet with faculty, staff and other students.
4. Describe practices, policies and goals, in regard to affirmative action in terms of
recruitment and retention of students.
We have made concerted efforts to recruit and obtain minority students, as well as women. At the
graduate level, we have not had any problems with any minority and women students who are not
able to successfully compete with the rest of the student body. Our goal is to recruit larger numbers
of especially, minority students to our graduate program.
5. In addition to affirmative action recruitment, describe practices, policies and goals with
regard to improving the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body (e.g.
Underrepresented cultural groups from the Detroit area, national and international
students).
We have been very interested in creating a diverse graduate student body, and have been open and
welcoming to especially students from underrepresented cultural groups (e.g. African American)
from the Detroit area. We have recruited such students into our MS program from University of
Detroit, Lawrence Tech University, University of Michigan, and Michigan State University. We
have been very inclined to provide them GRA or GTA support if they chose to be full-time
graduate students.
6. Describe teaching, research, internships and fieldwork opportunities for
masters/certificate.
We have a large number of MS students who are part-time, and work full-time in engineering
positions locally. For full-time MS students, we provide opportunities for GRA and GTA positions
on a competitive basis. We also support these students as student assistants, who are paid hourly
on research projects, when funds are available. Internship opportunities are very limited for
international graduate students on F-1 visas. They can pursue Curricular Practical Training under
INS rules; however, there has not been much demand from the local industry for interns under such
an arrangement.
7. How are students encouraged to combine academic work with on-the-job experience?
On-the-job experience as a complement to academic work is highly prevalent with our MS
students employed in local industry. We support the notion of all eligible students seeking
employment opportunities, if they are not committed to research projects in the department. For
international students on F-1 visa, the only avenue is Curricular Practical Training, as mentioned
above. Those students who are involved in applied research projects involving field work do get a
52
flavor of practical engineering work through their project experience.
8. Describe the nature of opportunities for faculty- masters/certificate interchanges in the
department.
MS
students who work on research projects have extensive interactions with the faculty principal
and/or co-investigators. Such interactions involve research meetings, which may include
representatives of the research sponsoring agencies. Other interactions between the students
and faculty take place in the classroom during lectures, in faculty offices during course-related
discussions, and during academic advising.
9. Describe procedures to assess students, research and academic standing and programs
toward degree, including method of feedback to students.

students who work on research projects have extensive interactions with the faculty principal
and/or co-investigators. Such interactions involve research meetings, which may include
representatives of the research sponsoring agencies. Other interactions between the students and
faculty take place in the classroom during lectures, in faculty offices during course-related
discussions, and during academic advising.
10. Describe policies and procedures for dealing with a student whose performance in the
program is unsatisfactory.
MS students who are in academic difficulty because of substandard academic performance are
required to see their faculty advisors, GPO and department chair to seek advice for making the
necessary adjustments. Sustained poor performance is the basis for exclusion from the program.
11. Describe the policies and procedures for increasing retention of students at-risk for
dropping out.
The faculty advisors work closely with at-risk students to improve their prospects for success. They
might be directed to change their specialty area, reduce their workload if needed, or take fewer
courses if permissible.
12. Describe procedures used to aid students in obtaining employment or graduate program
placement; include description of current and future job market in the discipline.
Graduate students seeking employment are assisted extensively by the faculty and department
chair. The students drop their resumes off to us and when we become aware of employment
opportunities, we notify them individually, or we post the position announcements on the
department bulletin board for all students to see. Also, students interested in employment get a lot
of help from other students (especially those who are already employed). Many of our graduate
students have been placed in companies that employ students who are in our program.

13. Provide a profile of current masters/certificate student enrollment in the majors, e.g.,
part-time/full-time, gender, age and race.
Our current MS student database contains information that is relevant to this question. Please
see attached.
14. Describe procedures that have been adopted in your unit regarding assessment of student
knowledge in the major. Please make clear the methodology adopted for accomplishing
this purpose, including or in addition to any outcome measurements that have been
developed. How and in what way will results of the assessment process be used to
enhance programs?
Assessment of student knowledge in the major is primarily done at the individual course level.
Each course in the department must provide a syllabus to the students in the beginning of the
semester containing class and exam schedule, references and other resources to be used in the
course, and most importantly the learning objectives for the course. Instructors are expected to
design and implement the delivery of the course in a way to be able to judge to what degree
these learning objectives are being met. When the exams and other course assignments are
prepared and evaluated on the basis of these objectives, student knowledge can be directly
assessed from the results. It is general practice in our department that topics on which student
knowledge is determined to be deficient are carried over to the following exam. Also, an
overall assessment is conducted by the instructor after the semester on how well the learning
objectives been met. Necessary adjustments are made to the course for the next offering based
on this assessment. Student feedback through SET evaluations is incorporated in the overall
assessment of the course at the end. Department chair and the Personnel Evaluation
Committee may provide input into this assessment and the needed changes, as appropriate.

Transportation and water/wastewater areas are expected to be especially strong in job
opportunities.
Section 5. Undergraduate Program (Not Applicable)
Section 6. Resources: Support Staff, Physical Facilities and Other Resources
1. Describe adequacy of all facilities necessary to your program, such as: library and
information retrieval resources, laboratories, computer facilities, equipment, classroom, and
office space.
The library and information retrieval resources at Wayne State University are generally adequate
for our instruction and research purposes. Our departmental laboratories need to be improved by
separating instructional and research activities. Although we have been able to purchase laboratory
equipment that are in large part adequate for instruction and for most of our research, maintaining
these equipment in the long term is a big challenge in terms of the required funds and staff.
Computer facilities in the college have not grown at the same pace of the increasing demand, and
availability of supercomputing resources is a problem. Office space is currently adequate; however,
the lab space is inadequate, especially for our structures group. We need a new laboratory with
sufficient space to test large structural components and having a strong wall and a strong floor.
2. Describe the adequacy of support staff for your program (academic staff, secretarial,
technical, and other staff assistance).
We have one departmental secretary who handles the paperwork for almost all of the department‟s
business operations (offer letters, appointments, purchasing, travel expense forms, paying invoices,
etc.). She has been developing the necessary skills at a moderate pace. We have a technician whose
main focus is on providing support to the faculty in managing all of the computer resources of the
department. We have one half-time desk assistant (a student assistant) who handles the faxing,
filing, etc. This level of staff support is much less than what exists in peer institutions (Pittsburgh,
Illinois-Chicago, and Cincinnati), and is woefully inadequate. We have virtually no technician help
for laboratories, can not cover the front office area on a full-time basis, and are short of staff for
business operations. Recent budget costs have exacerbated this situation by sequestering the funds
used for supporting our technician position.
We share an advising staff position with Mechanical Engineering. The advising staff person
(Patrina Carper) provides us support in student record keeping and undergraduate advising for the
62
non-engineering component of the curriculum. The time dedicated to Civil Engineering advising
has diminished considerably when Mechanical Engineering advising duties were added to her
responsibility, as a result of budget constraints.
3. Describe your unit's plan(s) for systematically evaluating its future staffing levels and mix.
We frequently discuss our staffing needs and how to make most efficient use of the existing staff at
our faculty meetings. It is clear that we need a full-time technician dedicated to laboratory work, in
addition to the computer-oriented technician we currently have. We would like to have an
administrative assistant to run the business operations of the department, and an additional
secretary who provides overall support to the faculty and to the administrative assistant. We would
like to have funding for two student assistants to manage the desk/reception area. We would like to
have a full-time dedicated advising staff to support record keeping, admission action management,
and help with recruiting efforts.
4. What measures is your unit taking to insure diversity in the staff?
Diversity in our staff has never been a problem, because we strictly follow the University‟s
personnel hiring policies.
5. Please list steps taken in your unit to increase awareness among staff of the importance of
providing quality service.
Feedback continuously comes to the department chair from the faculty on the performance of our
staff, both positive and negative. Whenever warranted, the chair conveys to the staff the faculty‟s
and his concerns about the quality of service, and discusses ways and means for improvements. He
also compliments good efforts. An annual personnel evaluation form is also filled out by the chair
(with input from faculty) and is used as the basis for discussions on service quality. Wayne State
offers many opportunities for staff training, and our staff have been encouraged to attend such
training sessions. They have indeed taken advantage of these opportunities.
6. Please identify activities that have been implemented or are planned to encourage and
recognize staff who provide quality service.
As stated above, we express our appreciation for high quality service. We would like to see our
staff rising to a level of service excellence, which warrants possibly a bonus award or other forms
of formal recognition.
7. Overall, do the staff and facilities provide an appropriate environment for the unit's
educational, research and/or service functions?
Overall, the staff support and facilities are not adequate to make us operate effectively at a level
commensurate with a Carnegie 1 (doctoral extensive) research institution.
Section 7. Summary
1. Indicate what appear to be the major strengths of the undergraduate and the graduate
63
programs. What is needed to make them better?
The major strengths of our undergraduate and graduate programs are our faculty, our curricula, and
our urban location. Our faculty are excellent teachers and established researchers. They work well
with each other and fully support the department‟s activities and aspirations. There has been
minimal faculty turn-over in the department over the past decade, resulting in excellent stability.
Our undergraduate and graduate curricula are strong and well - balanced. The strength of our
undergraduate curriculum and program is manifested in the NGR rating we received from ABET in
the last review (in 2000). The strength of our graduate curriculum and program is best reflected in
the large number of MS and PhD students we annually graduate in spite of having a relatively
small number of faculty. We cover five different graduate specially areas and offer very viable MS
and PhD course work and research opportunities in all of these areas. We are located in Detroit
which has a metropolitan area with numerous civil / environmental / construction engineering
projects and related professional activities. This enables us to recruit outstanding students, engage
area professionals as adjunct faculty or advisors in our educational and research activities, and use
Detroit as an “urban lab” for education and research. We need additional faculty and staff
positions, budget enhancements for current expenses, and an improved university administrative
infrastructure for business operations, to expand our success and be able to safeguard ourselves
from external threats. We also need to focus on recruiting PhD students who have better
communication and critical thinking skills.
2. What are the major weaknesses of each program? How can they be remedied or improved?
The major weaknesses of the department are the small size of our faculty and the inadequacy of our
operational resources. Building the critical mass of faculty in a given area to tackle large projects
has been very difficult. We also rely heavily on part-time faculty for teaching; this is the only way
that we are able to offer a diverse curriculum. While our part-time faculty do an excellent job in
teaching, their contribution to research and advising is minimal. We supply the same number of
people to the college committees as the larger departments do, which creates a heavier than normal
service load for our faculty. The loss of a faculty for a semester or year due to maternity, sabbatical
leaves, etc. impacts a department of our size much more dramatically than a larger department. Our
operations budget is insufficient to support our activities at the high level we aspire to. This means
that we must bring in more discretionary funds (indirect cost return, alumni gifts, etc.) to be able to
run the department. Even with that, we are constrained in funding faculty travel, major equipment,
and soft-money supported staff. Inefficiency of the business operations compounds our budget
shortage, and this constitutes another important weakness for our department.
We will need to hire three additional tenure-track faculty, and create new positions for an
administrative assistant and a laboratory technician. We should also look into generating additional
revenues for the department to offset budget shortages. This will require increased aggressiveness
on the part of our faculty to pursue funded research and educational projects that can provide
additional indirect cost return dollars. We can also generate funds for the department by increasing
our focus on philanthropic fund raising.
3. What changes does the department plan to make in the undergraduate and graduate
programs in the next 7 years within existing resources? In order of priority, what changes
would be made if additional resources were to become available?
64
We will continue to periodically review our curricula and take the necessary action to continually
improve them by refining our educational objectives, as well as the courses offered to meet these
objectives. We have already started addressing our low undergraduate enrollments. In this regard,
we will intensify our recruiting efforts by focusing on both the traditional and non-traditional
students. We will also address graduate student recruitment issues, especially in specialty areas that
have relatively low course enrollments. We will study the feasibility of a graduate certificate
program and a Master of Engineering program in the area of Construction Management, which can
accommodate construction professionals who do not have engineering degrees. We will focus on
establishing quantifiable performance measures for our academic and research programs and direct
our efforts towards improving our performance within this framework. As a result, we envision
rising up in research expenditure – based NSF rankings and improve our visibility and reputation.
If additional resources were made available, it would increase our chances of achieving our
aspirations, and this would be realized more quickly and at a higher level. The additional faculty
and staff positions and budget enhancements that have been repeatedly mentioned in this document
would virtually ensure that our department would gain significant national recognition and
prominence within the next seven years.

CE 645 Nondestructive Testing of Structures:
New construction projects in civil engineering are diminishing. However, significant portion of the
existing structural stock are reaching an age where their health are of concern and may require
significant rehabilitation. In appraising the health of the structures nondestructive testing and
evaluation is a priori. This course covers the state-of-the-art non-destructive testing procedures for
monitoring the health of existing structures.
CE 741 Assessment and Upgrade of Structures:
The civil-structural design courses deals with new building design. The motivation behind this course
is the urgent need for design of building upgrade. A graduate level course is developed which covers
the utilization of nondestructive test results for structural appraisal. Performance criteria development
and methods of structural upgrade is also described.
CE 535.Introduction to Structural Dynamics.
This course was developed as the first course in the sequence of graduate courses on Structural
Dynamics. It is also intended as a technical elective for undergraduate students. The purpose of the
course is to prepare the student for the analysis and design of civil engineering structures under
dynamic loads.
