Event Navigation
Join the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering for a discussion on Smart City Development and learn about exciting opportunities offered by our undergraduate program! Experts from within the department will talk about the cross-cutting expertise that are needed to engineer future cities. Discussion will focus on the following issues.
- Urban systems are complex networks made of the built infrastructure, natural resources, and society.
- Developing cities that meet the needs of future generations depend on advanced sensors to monitor interconnected infrastructure systems and the use of novel computing techniques.
- High performance computing creates new opportunities in modeling civil infrastructure by enabling big data management and real-time data harvesting.
