Mehta 9315602 The Wind Engineering Research Center (WERC) and the Institute for Disaster Research at texas Tech University have pursued intensive wind-related research for over twenty-three years. Besides extensive wind-storm-induced damage documentation and research regarding wind effects on buildings and structures, these research centers have excelled through accomplishments such as development of a full scale building field test facility, a missile impact test facility, and a wind engineering library containing close to 3,000 wind-related documents. The WERC is currently involved in an NSF sponsored cooperative wind engineering project with Colorado State University that involves faculty and students from the departments of Civil, Chemical and Mechanical Engineering, as well as atmospheric sciences. In the present grant, the results of these research accomplishments will be transferred to the curriculum of these and other departments. Visual aids such as instructional video modules, color slide sets and detailed notes on pertinent topics will be prepared. These materials will then be integrated into different courses offered in the courses both in the undergraduate and graduate levels. These instructional aids can also be used by other universities offering similar courses. ***

梅塔9315602、风工程研究中心和德克萨斯理工大学灾害研究所从事与风有关的密集研究已有二十三年之久。除了广泛的风灾损害文件和有关风对建筑物和结构的影响的研究外，这些研究中心还通过开发完整的建筑现场测试设施、导弹撞击测试设施和包含近3,000份与风相关的文件的风工程图书馆等成就而出类拔萃。WERC目前参与了一个由NSF与科罗拉多州立大学合作的风力工程项目，该项目涉及土木工程、化学和机械工程系以及大气科学系的教职员工和学生。在目前的赠款中，这些研究成果的结果将被转移到这些部门和其他部门的课程中。将准备教学视频模块、彩色幻灯片集和有关主题的详细笔记等视觉辅助工具。然后，这些材料将被整合到本科和研究生课程中提供的不同课程中。这些教学辅助工具也可以被其他提供类似课程的大学使用。***
