ABE 452

Fall 2024 All Classes

All Classes
Engineering for Disaster Resilience

Credit: 3 OR 4 hours.

A project-based experience designed to engage students in development of resilient food, energy, and water supply chains designs for disaster-prone regions. Students will investigate background factors that provide context for specific disaster-prone regions and viable design solutions. Students will quantify expected engineering reliability to potential solutions. Students will work with local communities, aid organizations, and peer institutions when identifying resilient designs, eventually seeking pathways to implement solutions with partner communities.

3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. May be repeated one time by undergraduate students if the term project differs from previous term, up to total credit of 6 hr for undergraduate students.

Section Info:
In addition to the two scheduled hours per week of in-person instruction, this section includes asynchronous recordings covering stochastic analysis and design for disaster resilience. Some students may choose to participate in an optional study tour where we will visit and directly engage with communities studied in this course. Grades for all students in ABE 452 are calculated based on course related activities only, as described in this syllabus. Whether or not students choose to participate in study tours is not factored into student grades in this course. At this time specific dates for the study tour are to be determined. The currently estimated dates are May 18-25, 2024. Any travel related costs are incurred primarily by students based on a schedule of fees prepared by IPENG and ACES Abroad. Students should consult with Professor Rodríguez and IPENG or ACES Abroad for specific details. Our colleges and campus offer several scholarship opportunities to defray a portion of travel related costs.
