Sustainable Infrastructure:
Design & Engineering

COURSE OVERVIEW

Online Live

Infrastructure refers to the broad set of systems that support our daily lives — from accessing reliable energy to accessing reliable communication; managing natural spaces to managing waste; moving people and goods to moving water — all of these systems support our society’s progress.


This immersive, 3-day conference-style Sustainable Infrastructure: Design & Engineering Course program teaches the emerging approach to infrastructure that considers both sustainability and climate resilience at every stage of design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the integrated systems that support society. The course focuses on every aspect of infrastructure including best practices in building materials, energy, water management, waste management, stakeholder engagement and restorative design. You will learn the concepts, applications, and best engineering practices to create sustainable, climate-resilient infrastructure solutions that enhance the social, environmental, and economic well-being of the communities they serve.
