APPENDIX B SHAPE TABLE
Dr. Elizabeth K. Ervin is currently an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Mississippi. She has taken and taught statics for fifteen years. Statics was her most challenging course in her four-year undergraduate degree; after discovering that she has a learning disability, she decided to teach others through her own unique style. Since 2006, she has worked with a variety of students with different learning types. She has worked extensively with the common subset of underprepared students. Thus, she has developed standard methods of "do-ery," not theory, that can benefit all students.
B.S. in Civil Engineering from Tennessee Technological University
M.S. in Civil Engineering from Vanderbilt University
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University
