A new cohort of 5 student fellows from Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Urban Planning (CAPPA) are being supported through the Dwight D. Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program (DDETFP), sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which provides funding for the pursuit of bachelor’s (senior), master’s, and doctoral degrees and the conduct of research in one or more transportation‐related disciplines. (Lead Campus Manager: Laureano R. Hoyos.) The program has supported over 70 undergraduate and graduate students from different disciplines across campus since its inception in academic year 2017-2018, including close to $500K in research fellowships along with full support for each student designee to attend the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. (next edition: January 5-9, 2025).

MASc and PhD position in Civil Engineering

Opportunity

As a PhD student, I've often felt that academia and the real world exist in two separate universes. We work hard to understand and address real-world issues but often struggle to bridge the gap. This isn't unique to my field alone. A practicing civil engineer shared an amusing yet insightful story with me. About 25 years ago, a tannery had a cracked beam and sought advice from a structural engineering professor. After thorough calculations, the professor recommended soaking all the bricks (truckloads of them) in water before construction, for the calculations to work properly. "He was adamant about this step, despite its impracticality in a real-world scenario,"sighed the civil engineer. This highlights a common disconnect between academic theories and practical applications. Similarly, in bioengineering, our research can feel worlds apart from practical implementation. How can we bridge this gap more effectively? How do we ensure our academic work translates into real-world solutions? I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences on this matter.

Civil service exam for new professors at Coppe Applications are open until May 9th for the civil service exam for higher education teaching positions at UFRJ (https://lnkd.in/d_n4jYg2). Out of the total vacancies offered, 13 are for new professors at Coppe. "For a long time, the Ministry of Education has not opened so many vacancies at federal universities. For Coppe, the competition contributes to nourishing the institution's faculty with new talents, helping to maintain the excellence of its faculty, which is a distinctive feature of ours, and preparing the future of the institution," evaluates Coppe´s Director of Academic Affairs, Professor Jean David Caprace. UFRJ is often cited in international university rankings as Brazil´s best federal university, and Coppe is the academic unit in Engineering with the highest number of scores 6 and 7 (maximum score) in the Capes Evaluation, attesting to academic excellence comparable to the best educational institutions in the world. In addition, Coppe has the largest engineering laboratory park in Latin America, with over 130 high-level laboratories. The exam involves several stages. Registrations for the first phase can be made until 11:59 pm on 5/9/2024. Click on this link to register (https://lnkd.in/d88hvmS), apply for the competition, print the bank slip, and track your registration.

This April, Government Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA) Professor Dame Angela McLean marks one year as head of the Government Science and Engineering Profession. One of the GCSA's key priorities is to create a more scientific civil service, and in this piece she lays out how she plans to achieve that. Read here ⤵ https://lnkd.in/ehwHBck2

🌟 Empowering Future Civil Engineers🌟  Very proud of the launch of the course "Artificial Intelligence in Civil Engineering" as a milestone in advancing capacity building in the transformative field of AI.  As educators and researchers, our mission is to equip students with cutting-edge skills that bridge theoretical foundations with practical applications. This course does exactly that—offering students hands-on experience in applying machine learning to geotechnical, material, and structural engineering challenges.  It was an honor to co-lecture this course with distinguished colleagues: Prof. Mona Badr, who spearheaded this initiative; along with Dr. Ahmed Elansary, PE, PEng, PhD, MSc, and my very dear Dr. Aya Belal Elgindy who managed the practical side of the course and helped the students apply AI to real-life civil engineering datasets. This collaboration highlights the importance of teamwork and knowledge exchange in building the capacity to innovate and lead in fields like AI, especially as they intersect with civil engineering.  Together, we are shaping a future where AI is not just a tool but a driver of progress in engineering and beyond.  #AI #DigitalTransformation #CapacityBuilding #CivilEngineering #WeGUCians
