Dr. Lindsey’s research interests stem from his 30+ years of being owner and president of a national structural engineering firm. There are two main areas of his directed research. One is improving teaching and student learning and retention through technology in the classroom. Presently he is researching better and easier ways to use the power of e-learning. Research done to date has resulted in new classroom techniques that combine both synchronous and asynchronous class components. Present research is expanding into use of Pod casts and other similar techniques. Dr. Lindsey has given several talks both in the US and abroad on his technology-based concepts. Another area of research he pursues is steel building structures. When he was in practice, he was honored with several awards for his innovative approaches to steel structures. After joining GIT, he has done research on new composites for systems using steel, reinforced concrete and precast elements to create a new composite flooring system. He has also continued his research into steel building framing that has resulted in a new steel system that competes with flat slab concrete structures. Dr. Lindsey has been recognized by AISC with both the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Special Citation Award. He has been named as the first person to be given the Outstanding Civil Engineer Alumnus from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee.
