• CVEEN 5520: Smart Cities

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  In most recent years, advances in Information science, communication technology, and data analytics have brought significant changes to the traditional urban infrastructure service provision. This has resulted in increasing interests from both technology vendors and public authorities in the transition of cities towards so-called 'Smart Cities'. The course will explore strategies to develop smart cities within the context of integrating civil infrastructures, advanced technologies, and cyberinfrastructures. It will also help students gain a deep understanding of the nature of disruptive innovations in smart city and infrastructure systems and learn about state-of-the-art knowledge for the transition from legacy infrastructures to smart urban systems. The course would cover the application of fundamental theories of smart cities on various domains in civil engineering, including smart mobility, smart water system, sustainability, smart building grid, etc. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in CVEEN 2310 AND Full Major status in (Civil Engineering OR Construction Engineering)
