There is a powerful new industrial tool in the College of Engineering, a revolutionary machine that combines precise machining with advanced 3D printing to repair and rebuild large metal parts.  

When disasters occur, conducting a rapid damage assessment (RDA) is crucial for making time-sensitive decisions. The RDA plays a vital role in providing local governments with essential information to respond adequately to life-threatening situations. This includes tasks such as directing first responders, analyzing potential hazards to critical infrastructure, determining the need for additional resources, and […]

The emergence of new infrastructure systems continue to have an increasing impact on existing civil infrastructure, especially when it comes to individual transportation systems and providing access for disadvantaged populations. Related to this situation, it remains unclear how to properly measure equity in delivery of these new systems due to their high operational dynamics and […]
