This course will focus on the challenges and problems facing local public works directors and city/town engineers. Such problems are often associated with the planning, design, siting, construction, rehabilitation, and operation of water treatment, water supply, and landfill facilities; bridges, roadways, and public transit systems; parks and recreational areas; electrical, gas and other power/energy utilities; and other physical infrastructure systems. An emphasis will be placed on formulating and evaluating solutions to these problems considering fiscal constraints and broader community goals concerning economic development, livability, and environmental sustainability.
