Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: In this course, we will introduce you to current research and best practices for both online and blended teaching as well as showcase examples of successful teaching strategies for both methodologies. Throughout the course you will work both independently and collaboratively with your peers to gain valuable online course transition experience and develop strategies in online teaching and learning. As a participant, you will learn both pedagogical aspects of teaching online as well as how to use and incorporate many of the tools available in the myCourses Learning Management System used at UMD. The ultimate goal of the course is to have you begin planning, organizing and building the course you eventually plan to teach. In addition, this course will introduce you to tools that will teach you how to self-assess course site design to ensure student ease of access to course content and to facilitate more streamlined student learning and retention.

Mechanical Engineering (MNE) and Engineering Applied Science (EAS) Seminar
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: Joint Mechanical Engineering (MNE) and Engineering Applied Science (EAS) Seminar
TIME: 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Textile Building, Room 101E
SPEAKER: Dr. Alireza Asadpoure, Assistant Professor of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at UMass Dartmouth
TOPIC: Topology Optimization for Structural Engineering and Architected Materials Design
ABSTRACT:
The powerful technique of topology optimization is the perfect tool for the optimal design of structures, as it allows variation of material layout’s boundaries and connectivity to achieve exceptional performance. However, solutions obtained by performing the optimization in a deterministic setting may be suboptimal under real-world engineering conditions subject to inherent variabilities (e.g., manufacturing defects and uncertainties on operating conditions). In this presentation, we will propose a novel computational methodology for topology optimization in the presence of uncertainties associated with structural stiffness, with the overarching goal of minimizing the influence of stochastic variabilities on the topology-optimized solutions (robust topology optimization). Notably, the general technique of topology optimization can also be applied for optimal design of architected materials. As an example, a novel algorithm will be presented for the systematic design of lightweight cellular materials that are optimally tailored for ideal combinations of high stiffness, low density, and high energy absorption under vibrations. Classic homogenization theory is utilized to model the effective stiffness of the microstructure, and the Bloch-Floquet approach allows calculation of its damping capacity. We will show that some of the architectures identified by the proposed topology optimization algorithm outperform any existing materials on the suggested figure of merit.
BIO:
Dr. Asadpoure has recently joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Before joining UMass Dartmouth, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Mechanics of Materials and Structures group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Irvine. He received his Ph.D. in structural engineering from the Department of Civil Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University. His research experience and interests are in the field of computational mechanics with emphasis on stochastic modeling and optimization of complex systems and materials. His recent work focuses on developing a computational framework for design of architected materials for different performance metrics including weight, stiffness, and energy absorption.
For more information please contact Dr. Mehdi Raessi, MNE Seminar Coordinator (mraessi@umassd.edu, 508-999-8496).
All are welcome. EAS students are encouraged to attend.
**Students taking MNE-500 are REQUIRED to attend.**

An exhibition of Fine Arts faculty at the College of Visual and Performing Arts and their students, entitled "Igniting the Passion II" is being held at the UMass Dartmouth, CVPA Campus Gallery through December 8th. This show features work by all Fine Arts faculty alongside select works by their students in the media areas of Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture.
This exhibition is based on the idea that the best teachers are those who are deeply involved in pursuing a personal art form, subject, or medium. Students, in turn, grasp this passion and grow to become strong, inspired artists in their own right. This is one of the most rewarding experiences in academia.
The mission of the Department of Fine Arts is to maintain an environment where artists are committed to the pursuit of teaching, research, and creative work. This faculty of professional artists provides a high-quality studio education to students at the foundation, undergraduate, and graduate levels through formal, aesthetic, technical, and intellectual training. Faculty members prepare students to become creative artists, pursue graduate study, or engage in Fine Arts-related professions through the attainment of their BFA and MFA degrees.
The closing reception for the "Igniting the Passion II" exhibition will be held on Tuesday, December 8th, from 4 pm to 6 pm with artist talks at 5pm.
