Prof. Garg recently attended the PCA Professors’ Workshop organized by the Portland Cement Association, held at the headquarters of the American Concrete Institute in Detroit, Michigan.
This was an excellent week-long workshop aimed at professors teaching concrete and concrete-related courses in a university setting. Access and exposure to live demos, course materials, pedagogy techniques, student competitions, and case studies introducing complicated phenomena in the concrete world were some of the things that made this workshop extremely useful. Highly recommended for fellow assistant professors!
Our group is actively looking to hire a couple of graduate students to start working from Fall 2019. If you’re interested, please make a formal application and indicate your interest to work with Prof. Garg.
Dr. Nishant Garg joins the faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering under the Construction Materials research area.
