Location and analysis of emergency point of distributions (PODs) under hurricane Harvey flood conditions using POD locator.

In 2010 and 2017, respectively, the manuscripts Location and Analysis of Emergency Management Point of Dis-tributions (PODS) for Hurricane Ike and Use of Geographical Information System Data For Emergency Management Points of Distribution Analysis With POD Locator 2.0 were published in the Journal of Emergency Management. These manuscripts described the use of the University of Houston POD Locator software to determine the location of Points of Distribution under emergency conditions.

Use of geographical information system data for emergency management points of distribution analysis with POD Locator 2.0.

In 2010, the article Location and Analysis of Emergency Management Point of Distributions (PODs) for Hurricane Ike was published in the Journal of Emergency Management. Using a program titled point of distribution locator (POD Locator 1.0), the article reported a 46 percent improvement in positioning PODs over the locations selected by emergency managers during Hurricane Ike in 2008.

Design, development, and evaluation of a second generation interactive Simulator for Engineering Ethics Education (SEEE2).

This paper describes a second generation Simulator for Engineering Ethics Education. Details describing the first generation activities of this overall effort are published in Chung and Alfred (Sci Eng Ethics 15:189-199, 2009). The second generation research effort represents a major development in the interactive simulator educational approach.

Design, development, and evaluation of an interactive simulator for engineering ethics education (SEEE).

Societal pressures, accreditation organizations, and licensing agencies are emphasizing the importance of ethics in the engineering curriculum. Traditionally, this subject has been taught using dogma, heuristics, and case study approaches. Most recently a number of organizations have sought to increase the utility of these approaches by utilizing the Internet.
