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.
Visit the Online Teaching Guide to learn more about getting started with teaching online.

Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Samuel G. Benoit
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: The Mechanical Engineering Department is pleased to announce the
MS THESIS DEFENSE of Mr. Samuel G. Benoit
April 27, 2015
1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Textile Building, Room 101E
TOPIC:
ADVANCED ALUMINUM ALLOYS FOR USE IN UNDERWATER APPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT:
Three aluminum alloys, 7085-OCR3 (Optimized Corrosion Resistance), 7175-T7452, and Al-Sc (Aluminum Scandium) are investigated. The properties of tensile strength, percent elongation, resistance to localized corrosion, and fracture toughness were of interest. 7085-OCR3 and 7175-T7425 samples were machined from a 21 in diameter tubular forging manufactured by a reverse impact extrusion process. The Al-Sc forging was 14 in diameter and manufactured by a rolling process. Samples were taken for each test in such a way that they were oriented in three principle working directions: radial, circumferential, and longitudinal. Tensile tests were conducted according to ASTM E-8 on standard 4 dogbones, or 2.5 modified dogbones. Fracture toughness testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM E-1820-01 on standard 0.5 compact tension (CT) specimens.
The localized corrosion investigation was performed by implementing both a submersion test to observed exfoliation corrosion as well as a galvanostaircase polarization (GSCP) test, ASTM G34 and ASTM G100, respectively. 7085-OCR3 far outperformed the 7175-T7452 and Al-Sc in terms of mode-I fracture toughness. It is proposed that the reduced levels on iron and silicon found in 7085-OCR3 are responsible for the increase in fracture toughness as compared to 7175-T7452.

Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)
Exhibition Dates: April 16 - May 1
Opening Reception: Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM with the Gallery Talk at 5 PM
Printmaking workshop: Thursday, April 23, 5-7 PM
Artists: Jessie Willcox Smith, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Eliza Draper Gardiner, Anna Brewster Richards, Blanche Ames, Theodosia Chase, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Emma Swan, Angela O'Leary, Allen Sisters, Mabel May Woodward, Grace Albee, Helen Watson Phelps, Alice Barbara Stephens, Ellen Dale Hale, Lena Newscastle and Mabel Dewit Eldred.
The University of Massachusetts Art History Department presents an exhibition entitled, Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890 - 1940). This show, which is part of the Senior Art History Capstone class at UMass Dartmouth, will feature paintings, illustrations, book cover designs and photographs created by professional late nineteenth and early twentieth century women artists from Philadelphia to Maine. The exhibition is open between April 15 and May 1, 2015 at the CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747. All are invited to the reception and gallery talk on Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM.
The exhibition poses the question, "Why don't we know about these successful and prolific women artists of the Modernist period?" These women were accomplished artists, leaders within the art world and participated in many art related endeavors. They were involved in the establishment of art societies throughout North East, attended and taught students at prestigious art schools, studied aboard in Europe, and led successful and profitable business careers. For example, Jessie Willcox Smith illustrated every cover of Good Housekeeping from 1917 to April 1933, representing more than 292 illustrations; similar to Norman Rockwell's contribution to the Saturday Evening Post; yet recognition of Smith's professional accomplishments are often overlooked within traditional canon of art history. This is just one story of many that will be explored in the exhibition.
The exhibition is a project of the Art History Senior Seminar class, composed of sixteen art history upperclassmen. Through this course students applied their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. Students expanded their skill-sets within the fields of art history, art, design and museum studies, through their exhibition research, writing, interpretation, exhibition and graphic design, collection care, and visitor relations. Students also learned to work collaboratively, writing and editing the catalog, developing the exhibition design, installing the exhibition and developing public programming.
We would like to thank those individuals who generously loaned works from their private collections and to those institutions including Providence Art Club, Bert Gallery, Providence Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, Smith College, UMass Amherst and New Bedford Public Library who agreed to contribution to the exhibition, "Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)"
Please visit also our Sister Exhibition at Gallery X, titled "Providence to Provincetown: Contemporary Women" (April 15 - May 3, 2015, Opening Reception: April 18, 7-10 PM. For additional information, visit www.galleryx.org.

MASTER OF SCIENCE PROJECT DEFENSE BY: Cory R. Klokman
- Location: Science and Engineering Building
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: TOPIC: IMPLEMENTATION OF FROST THAW PREDICTION MODELS USING PYTHON
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
Every transportation department has its own methodology for posting spring load restrictions. There is no national unified system for scheduling SLRs. Typically the SLRs are determined locally by DOT District Engineers. Whether it is a visual inspection or a science-based decision, it is ultimately their call. For example, Maine DOT has historically relied on inspectional methods (i.e., when water is observed pumping through cracks in the roadway) to post SLRs. They now take air temperature indices into consideration for scheduling SLRs because of the discovered correlation between air temperature indices and pavement strength during spring thaw. This project focuses mainly on a practical application of these models and their integration.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
Advisor: Dr. Paul J. Fortier
Committee Members: Prof. Philip H. Viall, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Dr. Ramprasad Balasubramanian, Department of Computer and Information Science
