Engineering for Disaster Resilience

SHOW FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE

Credit: 3 OR 4 hours.

Project-based design of resilient food, energy, and water supply chains for disaster-prone regions. Students investigate factors that provide context for specific disaster-prone regions and viable design solutions. Students quantify reliability and resilience of potential solutions, work with communities, aid organizations, and peer institutions identifying designs, eventually seeking pathways to implement solutions. Students will emerge with skills for managing such projects, collaborating closely with communities where local factors have impacts on sustainable engineering designs.

3 OR 4 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 7 hrs. Not repeatable for graduate credit. Credit is not given toward graduation for: ABE 452 and ETMA 452.
