Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) as a Stabilizer for Subgrade Soils
Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) as a Stabilizer for Subgrade Soils The objective of this research is to determine the key pavement engineering properties for blends of GTR and highway subgrade soils. These findings will be used to develop recommendations detailing how the acceptable blends should be used in FDOT’s highways.

Improving the Properties of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement for Roadway Base Applications (CR)
Extensive research on Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) indicates that it possesses both positive and negative engineering behavior. On the plus side, it is a drainable granular material with adequate shear strength, however, engineering concerns arise because RAP exhibits both low bearing ratios and extensive creep [1], [2], [3].

To Develop an Interdisciplinary Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Academic Program
This project applies an interdisciplinary approach to curriculum development to create courses, lecture modules and laboratory experiments related to hydrogen and fuel cells. Project assessment will determine the effectiveness of the laboratory curriculum. Classes improved by this project will provide public and private sectors with skilled employees and researchers in hydrogen technology. The hydrogen-based curriculum will further the student understanding of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies and offer undergraduate and graduate students a career path into renewable energy.
