Civilizations rely on engineered structures and infrastructure systems to supply their basic needs, including water, energy, transportation, and shelter. This course will examine the past, present, and future of the engineering solutions on which civilizations rely, and the evolving technological, environmental, and societal challenges to which our current solutions must adapt. Through lectures and hands-on activities, students will learn fundamental engineering concepts and methods of graphical communication, as well as an introduction to physical and computational modeling of structures and infrastructure systems.
