CEVE 492 - ANALYSIS OF URBAN SYSTEMS

Long Title: MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS
Department: Civil & Environmental Engr
Grade Mode: Standard Letter
Course Type: Lecture/Laboratory
Credit Hours: 3
Description: To introduce structural and system reliability topics, as well as concepts of graph theory and optimization for characterizing complex networked systems; to study probabilistic tools for predicting system failure modes given natural hazards or attacks; and to quantify the effects of network interdependencies and mitigation actions. Complex systems apply to the structure and dynamics of civil, mechanical, electrical and bioengineering systems and networks. The graduate level course includes advanced exercises in homework and exams as well as a research- oriented final project. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: CEVE 592. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CEVE 492 if student has credit for CEVE 592. Repeatable for Credit.
