    Diving Deeper into SPSS for Beginners

    Diving Deeper into SPSS for Beginners

    Are you ready to learn hints, tips, and tricks to IBM SPSS Statistics that are not in typical SPSS training videos? Building on years of practical experience as a statistician doing academic research, Dr. Todd Daniel takes you deeper into SPSS skill building. Even if you are an experienced SPSS user, you will learn new ideas that will help you as a user. For beginning and intermediate students, you will leap ahead by learning techniques that benefit practical users. You will learn to customize SPSS, import data while cleaning it, best practices for categorical and scale data, the power of the Chart Builder, using syntax, and how to organize your output so you can use it better. This series began with SPSS for Beginners; now you can begin Diving Deeper into SPSS.

    Automatic Bell Siphon Explained

    Automatic Bell Siphon Explained

    This is a demo of a bell siphon I built in collaboration with a couple of engineering professors. There are certain cases where it would be nice to be able to create a siphon without any intervention, a self-priming or automatic siphon: the next level of siphonry. It's built out of an acrylic sheet and a piece of clear pipe.

    Welding 101

    Welding 101

    In general, and compared to other common building materials, metals have excellent mechanical properties. They are hard, tough, strong, and durable. As someone who occasionally works the wood, even I can admit that metals are a superior material in many regards. So you can see why it would be advantageous to have a way to connect them together, especially if you can do it in such a way that joint isn’t the weakest part of your assembly. That’s the goal of welding, and luckily, this is not something reserved for industrial factories and machine shops. From my own experiences so far, welding is something you might be able to do yourself as a hobby. And stay tuned till the end for some tips for getting started.

    How Quicksand Causes Dam Failures

    How Quicksand Causes Dam Failures

    In civil engineering, quicksand is more than just a puddle of mud! The "quick condition" occurs when seepage reduces the effective stress of a soil. This can lead to some dangerous conditions, especially if the seepage causes piping erosion to occur at a dam.

    How does land surveying work?

    How does land surveying work?

    This video explores a primer on one of the most important companions to civil engineering: land surveyors. Conventional measurement tools like a tape measure and protractor don't work for large civil structures and public works projects. Surveying is essentially the science of measuring big stuff. In this video I give a quick explanation of how surveying works and show a few ways you can do your own leveling survey at home. No sines, cosines, or tangents required!

    Sand Castle Holds Up A Car! - Mechanically Stabilized Earth

    Sand Castle Holds Up A Car! - Mechanically Stabilized Earth

    Dirt is probably the cheapest and simplest construction material out there, but it's not very strong compared to other choices. Luckily geotechnical engineers have developed a way to strengthen earthen materials with almost no additional effort - Mechanically Stabilized Earth (aka MSE or Reinforced Soil).

    The 100 Year Flood Is Not What You Think It Is (Maybe)

    The 100 Year Flood Is Not What You Think It Is (Maybe)

    Almost everyone agrees that flooding is bad. Most years it’s the number one natural disaster in the US by dollars of damage. So being able to characterize flood risks is a crucial job of civil engineers. Engineering hydrology has equal parts statistics and understanding how society treats risks. Water is incredibly important to us, and it shapes almost every facet of our lives, but it’s almost never in the right place at the right time. Sometimes there’s not enough, like in a drought or just an arid region, but we also need to be prepared for the times when there’s too much water, a flood. Rainfall and streamflow have tremendous variability and it’s the engineer’s job to characterize that so that we can make rational and intelligent decisions about how we develop the world around us.

    Boil Water at Room Temperature! - Hydrostatics

    Boil Water at Room Temperature! - Hydrostatics

    Engineers that work with fluids need a solid understanding of how they behave, and there’s one branch of fluid mechanics that plays a role in areas all across our lives. Whether you’re designing a water tower for a city or you just want to understand how those upside-down pet bowls work, you’ve got to know how to relate the depth and pressure of a fluid: hydrostatics.
