Infrastructure Sensing and Modeling

3 credits · Graduate

The future of infrastructure relies on smarter information; the rich information obtained from embedded sensors within infrastructure and large-scale computer simulations will act as catalysts for new design, construction, operation and maintenance processes for integrated infrastructure systems linked directly with user behavior patterns. This course will teach the fundamentals of various sensing and modeling tools used for infrastructure engineering and present case studies. The trend in entrepreneurship for emerging technologies in infrastructure and smart cities industry will be discussed.
