VISION

keck_color02The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering will enhance the sustainability of urban systems and energy and water infrastructure that are challenged by rapid change and/or extreme events, including increased demand from a growing population, aging and deterioration, and climate variability-related disasters. These critical and emerging challenges will be addressed through technological innovation to improve infrastructure resilience and the efficiency of water and energy use; integration of complex system analysis to enhance risk assessment and mitigation; multidisciplinary solutions to improve quality of life and the value of investments in infrastructure; and educational efforts that promote sustainability, eco-responsible design and green engineering.
