Rogers will complete a three-year term on the AASHTO panel that will help provide guidelines for safe bridge construc- tion for North Carolina and the rest of the nation. AASHTO reviews transportation- related policies and provides technical sup- port to states in their efforts to efficiently and safely move people and goods. He brings extensive experience in coastal engineering and construction to the task force. With colleagues at North Carolina State University and Oregon State University, Rogers developed a simple and failsafe design for "breakaway walls" that maintains a building's structural integrity in high wind and storm surge. While working for Sea Grant, he also collaborated with South Carolina Sea Grant, Clemson University and the Blue Sky Foundation on a new, more effective type of plywood shutter for homes that can be used during h
