Societal Scale Civil Infrastructure Gregory L. Fenves Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering UC Santa Cruz
2
Societal-scale Issues Affecting Civil Infrastructure Disaster Preparation, Response, Recovery Transportation Management Environmental Engineering
3
Profound opportunities for major shift in improving quality of life and economic growth Inexpensive sensors with wide deployment Reliable, secure communication Data synthesis and visualization Simulation Decision-making and control
4
Systems Approach to Civil Infrastructure Infrastructure problems are complex and hard to solve Develop multi-disciplinary approaches Use CITRIS will integrate new technology into addressing societal-scale problems Provide new opportunities for broad range of students Expand role of civil and environmental engineers in addressing societal problems
5
CITRIS Builds on Strengths Disaster Preparation, Response, Recovery Transportation Management Environmental Engineering Top-ranked research and instructional programs In water quantity/quality, indoor and outdoor air quality, ecological engineering
