DESIGNING AND BUILDING THE EIFFEL TOWER برج ايفل - باريسDr.Youssef Hammida
In 1889, Paris hosted an Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) to mark the 100-year anniversary of the French Revolution. More than 100 artists submitted competing plans for a monument to be built on the Champ-de-Mars, located in central Paris, and serve as the exposition’s entrance. The commission was granted to Eiffel et Compagnie, a consulting and construction firm owned by the acclaimed bridge builder, architect and metals expert Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel. While Eiffel himself often receives full credit for the monument that bears his name, it was one of his employees—a structural engineer named Maurice Koechlin—who came up with and fine-tuned the concept. Several years earlier, the pair had collaborated on the Statue of Liberty’s metal armature.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. About the tower…
The tower was erected for the Paris Exposition
of 1889; Exposition Universelle in French—the
Paris World’s Fair.
The Paris Exposition of 1889 was the
Centennial of the French Revolution.
The Constuction Period was from January 23
1887 to March 1889—two years, two months, 5
days.
The tower was inaugurated on March 31, 1889.
12. Engineering
Base of the Tower is on 4 piers which hold
names of the four cardinal points
Each main support rests on blocks of masonry,
masonry rests on beds of concrete
Concrete beds cover 60 square meters
In the center of each—iron bars (25 ft, 6 in long
& 4 in thick) unite the masonry by clamps
To ensure the Tower was level, Eiffel left room
for hydraulic presses at the angles of each pier

14. History
So many people visited the Tower in it’s
1st
year that all almost all construction
costs were recovered w/ticket sales
Tower was slated to only stand for 20
years, but after 20 years, it proved to be
a valuable communication tool for radio
broadcasting
Tallest structure in the world at original
construction
When Paris fell to the Nazis in WW2,
French rebels cut the cables to the
elevator so Hitler had to climb stairs
15. History…
Eiffel used open latticework of wrought iron
to help the Tower hold up to wind gusts.
Wanted wind to blow through the Tower,
not against it.
Even during strong winds, the Tower never
sways more than 4.5 inches.
16. Tourism
The Tower has 3 levels for visitors.
Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or
by lift to first and second level.
Walk from the Ground to First level is 300 steps.
The third and the highest level is only accesible
by elevators.
The first and the second level feature
resturants.
19. Tourism
To use the stairs to the 1st
& 2nd
floor it
is 4,00 Euro
To go all the way to the top in the
elevator it is 12,00 Euro—cheaper if
we are in a group
The Tower opens at 9:30 am, and the
stairs close earlier than the elevator—
last lift at 11 pm
To reach the top of the Tower (276
meters), visitors must take another
elevator from the second floor.
