Previous Meetings ArupEnergy Date: April 18, Friday Location: CE 203 Time: 2:00 P.M. J. Timothy Wiley, P.E. 99’, who is a senior engineering in the Houston office of ArupEnergy, will present on the topic of: “Arup – Total Design.” on April 18 at 2:00 p.m. Click here to see the flyer.
Jaster-Quintanilla Date: March 27, Thursday Location: CE 203 Time: 6:00 P.M. Thomas L. Scott, PE, LEED® AP and Stephen H. Lucy, PE who are principals at the Jaster-Quintanilla Dallas Office will present on the topic of: “What they don’t tell you in school…What to expect as a new Structural Engineer.” Click here so see the flyer. HNTB Date: February 25, Monday Location: CE 221 Time: 5:30 P.M. Steve Hague will present on the engineering aspects of the reconstruction of major infrastructure projects in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. His focus will be on the design-build reconstruction of US 90 over St. Louis Bay between Bay St. Louis and Gulfport, Mississippi. This 2-mile long bridge was completely reconstructed on a parallel alignment with two lanes of traffic in just 20 months following the storm. Mr. Hague, who holds both B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University, is an associate vice president at HNTB. He is currently assigned as the Chief Structural Engineer for HNTB's long-span and specialty bridge design group. For the last 15 years he has specialized in major river crossings around the country. Recently he has been assigned as the lead designer and project manager for a number of complex bridges including the new US 82 Bridge at Greenville, Mississippi, erection engineering for the widening for the Huey P. Long rail bridge in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Main Street Bridge over the Scioto River in Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Hague is a licensed Professional Engineer or Structural Engineer in 13 states including Texas. Click here so see the flyer.
L.A. Fuess Partners, Inc. Date: February 12, Tuesday Location: CE 203 Time: 5:30 P.M. International Terminal D at DFW Airport is a state-of-the-art facility opened in 2005, housing 23 aircraft gates, around 1.75 million square feet of terminal and support space on 5 levels, and an integrated 8-story Hyatt Grand Regency Hotel. The facility is served by an 8-level parking garage holding 8,200 cars with air-conditioned walkways. Terminal D is connected to the other airport terminals at DFW Airport by an overhead Automated People Mover system and a pedestrian bridge. L.A. Fuess Partners served as the lead structural engineer for the project, encompassing the new terminal building, parking garage, and sky bridge with a combined cost of over $900m.

ExxonMobil Date: February 7, Thursday Location: CE 110 Time: 4:30 P.M. Dr. Robert E. Sandström and Dr. Adam J. Rinehart will cover some of the special work at ExxonMobil that enabled their engineers to establish the technology necessary to confidently build larger LNG ships and reduce the cost of long distance transport. This discussion should be of interest to those pursuing studies in ship design, structures, hydrodynamics, basic physics, and experimental methods. The intent is to share their experiences on the importance of engineering fundamentals in order to address the challenges that engineers face during their professional career.
