Abstract:

Asset management of civil infrastructure facilities and systems is gaining importance both in practice and in academia as the public demands increased accountability in government, laws are passed requiring infrastructure asset management, and growth and development accelerate the deterioration of already aged infrastructures. In response, more agencies continue to adopt and develop their asset management practices and more academic institutions and continuing education programs define courses and programs in civil infrastructure asset management. This paper focuses on an infrastructure management class offered at the graduate level mainly for civil engineering and transportation planning students. The outline of the class and a brief overview of active and engagement-based learning techniques are presented, and the way these techniques are integrated with the delivery of the asset management material is described.
