Courses denoted as CEE 649 a and b were different special topic courses within Structural Engineering. In 1991, we received approval for special topic courses in Construction Engineering and Management (i.e., CEE 698). The courses designed CEE 698 a, b, c, d, e, and f, again, were different special topic courses offered prior to developing formal course proposals. Courses EPD 690a and b were different special topics courses offered by Engineering Professional Development.

Student Evaluations

College of Engineering course and instructor evaluation (COE) forms were used by Dr. Russell as summarized below. Column A represents the mean overall student response for 21 questions rating the instructor on a scale of 1 to 4, where 4 is the highest. The maximum value in Column B gives the rating of the instructor relative to others the students have encountered (Questions #22). Here, the scale is 1 to 5, with 5 being the top 20th percentile.
