This course gives an overview of the development process and the state of the art of intellectual infrastructure systems, which are relating to water supply, energy supply, waste disposal, environmental cleanup, information communication, transportation and anti-disaster facilities. This course also lectures future issues and prospects of these systems.
Social infrastructure is important basis of residential environment, and has been becoming smarter with the progress of science and technology, especially of information science and technology, as well as of sensing and monitoring technology. The aim of this course is to provide necessary and basic knowledge for designing and developing strong and sustainable intellectual infrastructure systems.
By the end of this course, students will be able to explain the outline of the development process, state of the art, future issues and prospects of intellectual infrastructure systems relating to water supply, energy generation and supply, waste disposal, environmental cleanup, information communication, transportation and anti-disaster facilities.
