CEE 4800 - Engineering Smart Cities (3 Credits)  
This course prepares students to tackle the technical challenges to designing and operating smart and dynamic infrastructure systems. In particular, students will learn to combine data and models to control overall system performance in the face of uncertainty. The class will focus on smart city infrastructure systems that are self-aware, with continual surveillance of the built and natural environment and an autonomous capacity to control resource allocation. This course will build upon fundamental engineering principles (for systems such as transportation, energy, and water resources) and teach students to employ emerging sensor technologies, accompanying data analytics, resource demand forecasting, and model predictive control theory. Students will learn to couple engineering models of infrastructure with data-driven probabilistic models of resource demand and the approaches to control these integrated hybrid systems for optimal and equitable resource allocation with improved resilience to exogenous disturbances. Finally, the class will explore cases studies in urban flooding, energy supply, transportation and air quality, and water supply.
Prerequisites: MATH 2940.  
Exploratory Studies: (CU-SBY)
Last Four Terms Offered: Fall 2024, Fall 2023, Fall 2022, Fall 2021  
Learning Outcomes:
  • Apply data-driven models to forecast resource demand for infrastructure applications.
  • Apply model predictive control principles to smart infrastructure systems.
  • Critically evaluate the security, overall performance, and equity of resource allocation for smart infrastructure systems.

Civil Engineering (BS)

The Civil Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of  ABET . The field of civil engineering is a people-serving profession. Civil engineers plan, design, construct, and operate facilities that are used every day – buildings, bridges, space stations, water purification and distribution systems, highways, tunnels, airports, rapid transit systems, dams and electrical generating stations, and other constructed facilities. They analyze land, water, air, and pollution problems; develop designs for pollution and hazardous waste control facilities; and oversee the construction and operation of those facilities. They participate in city planning, in efforts to overcome infrastructure deterioration, in the development of water resource systems, and in the design and operation of other systems fundamental to the quality of life and the preservation of the quality of the environment. A personal reward for civil engineers is the satisfaction gained from creating enduring constructed facilities that provide communities with places to live, work, and play. Civil engineers are also concerned with sensing and interpreting the environment using satellite and aircraft imaging. As a profession, civil engineers must help meet the basic needs of society through economical, safe, aesthetically appealing, sustainable, and environmentally sound solutions.
