Biography

Amanda Bordelon, PhD, P.E. has joined UVU faculty in the new Civil Engineering program in August 2018. She has all of her degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering emphasized in transportation infrastructure and construction materials at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Illinois BS 2005, MS 2007 and PhD 2011. She was also formerly a faculty member at University of Utah for 7 years teaching civil materials and concrete testing. Her research has been in fiber-reinforced concrete overlay pavement design and has tinkered in specialty concrete materials and evaluating test methods that assess quality of constructed materials. She is currently actively involved in the American Concrete Institute Intermountain Chapter as a Board Member and Student Activities Chair. She enjoys leading hands-on laboratory and design project experiences among the engineering students.
