TSU Engineering Team won 2nd place in 2023 TN Engineers’ Conference: A group of 9 students from TSU Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering including Ms. Denise Borja, Mr. Beatrice Magombana, Ms. Dorcas Machimu, Ms. Mercy Sammy, Ms. Doris Atieno Noah, Mr. John Amann, Mr. Gregory Hobbs, Mr. Zachary Archer and Mr. Zachary Lanier truly came together as a team to take second place out of 8 different universities in the Tennessee Engineers Conference (TNEC) Student Competition. The students were accompanied by Mr. Deondre Davenport, Coordinator of Recruitment and student services and Dr. Ranganathan Parthasarathy, TSU ASCE faculty advisor. The conference took place at the Franklin Marriott Hotel in Cool Springs and was organized by the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers (TSPE). The conference featured several excellent professional development talks centered around Engineering Management, Civil, Environmental, Transportation, Geotechnical, Electrical, Mechanical, and Industrial Engineering. The student competition was held in the afternoon session and had one qualifying round and one final round. It was organized by Ms. Ashley Smith, Principal, Project Management and Commercial Leader at CDM Smith, Mr. Wesley Goodnight, Project Manager at Ensafe Inc., and Evan Boulanger, Stormwater Design Manager at City of Memphis. The qualifying round required the students to build the tallest possible sand structure using damp sand and two sheets of A4 paper in 20 minutes. The structures were judged by the maximum height reached and their stability. The TSU team managed a height of 13 inches, which took them to the final round. In the final round, the teams were required to construct a bridge using 2” X 1” X 0.5” wood blocks across an A4 sheet that represented water with two vertical blocks as supports on either side. Points were assigned for the stability of the bridge, for the number of unused blocks, and its load carrying capacity in terms of the same blocks. The TSU team built a stable bridge which was able to carry 1 block, and had 2 unused blocks for its construction, which put them in second place, with Lipscomb taking first place, and Vanderbilt, third place. The TSU team demonstrated their engineering skills, resilience, teamwork, and competitive spirit. They received a plaque from the judges and will also be receiving a cash award soon. The TSU students also utilized the conference for professional networking with various companies from the areas of stormwater management, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, surveying, and others.

This book presents a cutting-edge approach to understanding overtopping hydraulics under negative free board of earthen levees, and to the study of levee reinforcing methods. Combining soil erosion test, full-scale laboratory overtopping hydraulics test, and numerical modeling for the turbulent overtopping hydraulics, it provides an analysis that integrates the mechanical and hydraulic processes governing levee overtopping occurrences and engineering approaches to reinforce overtopped levees. Topics covered surge overflow, wave overtopping and their combination, full-scale hydraulic tests, erosion tests, overtopping hydraulics, overtopping discharge, and turbulent analysis.
