Book Review

 

Concrete Structures, by Mehdi Setareh & Robert Darvas, McGraw-Hill, 2004

 

 

C. Research Contributions:

 

Cecil O. Windsor, Jr., Endowed Professorship (2004-’08)

 

Dr. Haque has been named the Cecil O. Windsor Jr. Endowed Professor in Construction Science for his work in advancing construction technology.

The Windsor Professorship, established by Keith Williams, president of gamma Construction Company, with the matching funds from the Construction Industry Advisory Council, honors Cecil O. Windsor, Jr., a 1966 Civil Engineering graduate and vice president of the construction company.  In creating the endowment, Williams credited Windsor’s mentorship for his success in the construction industry.

As the first Cecil O. Windsor, Jr., Endowed Professor, Dr. Haque introduced four Cecil O. Windsor, Jr. Fellowships ($1000 each) for COSC Graduate Students. These fellowships were awarded to students with high academic credentials for two consecutive semesters ($500+$500). Students who received the fellowships did their research in the field of construction technology advancement.
