- Research conducted by Tarek Zayed, professor in the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering, is featured in Phys Org. Zayed’s study investigated the relationship between materials used in pavement markings, their age and durability. His research showed that snowplows are the biggest culprit in erasing pavement markings and that switching paint could save cars and lives. The story is reprised by USA News, News and e! Science News
