Learning to integrate geophysics into engineering projects using a comprehensive set of interactive, online, scenario-based resources part of Integrate:Workshops and Webinars:Engineering, Sustainability, and the Geosciences:Activities
This online activity is a four part interactive learning scenario involving application of geophysics in a groundwater contamination and site characterization setting. Learning objectives focus on decision making about designing, interpreting and contributing the geophysical components for a complex geologic / geotechnical project.

Physical model of the failure of an unreinforced structure during an earthquake part of Integrate:Workshops and Webinars:Engineering, Sustainability, and the Geosciences:Activities
This activity allows students to explore one of the principal reasons why so many people are injured or killed during an earthquake. Through the failure of a small model building on a simple shake table and comparison with photographs of actual buildings destroyed in earthquakes, students pursue an understanding of how to prevent these disasters through better building practices.

Evaluating Reuse Opportunities for Recovered Building Materials part of Integrate:Workshops and Webinars:Engineering, Sustainability, and the Geosciences:Activities
Students investigate opportunities to reuse recycled building materials as a substitute for the use of virgin materials through comparative life cycle assessment and consider regulatory acceptance and market feasibility issues.
