A didactical laboratory of structural engineering for bachelor civil engineer...DCEE2017
Mariangela Deligia.
The course of Structural Engineering for the Bachelor courses of Civil Engineering in Academic Year 2016-17 at the University of Cagliari was divided in two semesters: the first one dealing with theoretical aspects, the second in a didactical laboratory addressed to the development of a structural project of a building.
The assignment and development of a series of individual themes of structural design was managed in a classroom of about 120 students. The strategy to optimize the efficiency was to assign a series of simple plane framed structures with comparable difficulty. The were generated from a common building with six identical frames, each composed by four columns and three floors. The removal of beams or columns, together with variations of length, height, location and destination, generated the requested individual themes.
The students were then divided into four groups, followed by tutors. They experienced the development of the project in classroom, in a series of twelve sessions: eight of them were dedicated to develop a prescribed step of the project, two for the inspection activities and the remaining two for helping the harmonizing of the state of progress of the project. The main didactical results are here illustrated.

: Informed restoration is very important in our country, which is quite rich in terms of historical artifacts. In order to preserve our cultural assets for next generations, the Relief studies, which will be presented to the Board for Protection of Cultural Assets in the region where respective artifacts are located, should be conducted in the most correct way using current technologies. In addition, materials used in restoration works while protecting cultural assets should be correctly distinguished and analyzed. The study touches upon details of the summer workshop conducted for purposes of creating awareness about protecting cultural assets, correctly recognizing materials used, conducting correct relieve works and learning restoration techniques, and the inferences made by students from these works.

Mano a Mano has hosted 7 annual celebration events, with our 8th event on Sunday, July 23 at Mano a Mano's office/warehouse in St. Paul, Minnesota. Each year we have a selected project to support with proceeds from the event, and each year we have met our goal. This year we are supporting the program that started Mano a Mano more than 20 years ago: collecting surplus supplies in Minnesota destined for the landfill and send them to Bolivia where they can make a huge difference in people's lives.
These are a few pictures from Mano a Mano's recent projects and activities, mostly from May-November 2016. Mano a Mano works to create partnerships with impoverished Bolivian communities to improve health and increase economic well-being. We accomplish this mission through a variety of projects, including the construction of clinics, schools, water reservoirs and wells, and greenhouses; the distribution of donated supplies; and the provision of training & education programs. We shared these pictures as part of a presentation during our Open House at the Mano a Mano office in St. Paul, Minnesota on November 30, 2016.

Mano a Mano has hosted 6 annual celebration events, with our 7th event on April 23rd, 2016 at the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Each year we have a selected project to support with proceeds from the event, and each year we have met our goal. This year we are supporting the program that started Mano a Mano more than 20 years ago: collecting surplus supplies in Minnesota destined for the landfill and send them to Bolivia where they can make a huge difference in people's lives.
A few pictures from the program that started Mano a Mano more than 20 years ago - saving surplus supplies from US landfills and sending them to Bolivia, where they make a huge difference for thousands of people every year. To date, Mano a Mano volunteers have collected and distributed more than 3.5 million pounds of supplies to Mano a Mano projects, other organizations working with people in need, and individuals that request supplies throughout Bolivia.
On May 20, 2015 Mano a Mano hosted a workshop titled "Reframing Community Development: A Conversation among Faith Leaders in the Twin Cities." The workshop was hosted by Mano a Mano co-founder Joan Velasquez, Ph.D., and Janel Kragt Bakker, Associate Director of Collegeville Institute (http://collegevilleinstitute.org/); and used Mano a Mano and sister church relationships as case studies to discuss international community development. This presentation was the basic framework for the event on May 20th at the Mano a Mano office in St. Paul.
Thanks to those that attended! If anyone is interested in doing similar events with Mano a Mano, we would be happy to discuss.
