Welcome to the web-site of Dr. Luciana Barroso. I hope you find the site helpful in learning a bit about me and what I do.
TEACHING
I am passionate that students fully master both knowledge and skills of any course I teach. My expectations are high (so be ready to work!), but I will provide the support to help you achieve those goals. See the Teaching page for more details on my philosophy and access to my teaching portfolio.
I specialize in structural engineering and I teach a wide range of courses from freshman through Ph.D. Level. Courses being taught Spring 2017:
- CVEN 750 – Applied Finite Element
- CVEN 751 – Advanced Dynamics and Intro. Control of Structures
RESEARCH
My research is broadly divided into structural engineering topics and research in engineering education. Her engineering education research spans K-12 through university level education. Additional information is available on the Research page, but general areas include:
- Engineering Education: Active learning and project-enhanced learning, high-impact learning activities
- Structural Engineering : Structural Control, Linear and Nonlinear Dynamics of Structures, Earthquake Engineering, Finite Element Modeling, Probabilistic Hazard Analysis, Structural Health Monitoring, Historic Preservation
