- June 29, 2022Remembering the Faculty's first PhD graduate
Carl Turkstra (PhD ’63, civil engineering) died May 22 after a distinguished career as an academic who transformed building codes followed by one as a successful business owner.
When Turkstra joined the Faculty’s newly launched PhD program in the late 1950s, building codes aimed to achieve absolute safety.
Turkstra proposed a radical alternative in his doctoral research work: apply risk analysis instead.
