New Scholars Fall Class: Infrastructure and Society
CPSP 349T (3 credit, Scholarship and Practice): Fall 2019
Contact Dr. David Tomblin for more information and permission to enroll: dtomblin@umd.edu
One of the most important, but under appreciated, aspects of our society is its infrastructure (roads, buildings, communication systems, water delivery systems, sanitation systems, energy systems, etc.). We often take for granted the services this infrastructure provide for maintaining a sustainable society. This service learning course is designed to emphasize the importance of maintaining infrastructure viability for a functioning society. You will work with professional engineers from a variety of disciplines to learn vital technical assessment skills for evaluating the safety and viability of various aspects of our infrastructure. These engineers work through the Maryland Defense Force (http://mddf.maryland.gov/), a volunteer corps that provides vital services for free beyond their professional obligations to help maintain Maryland’s infrastructure. This 3-credit course meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays (3:30-4:45) and includes a couple Saturday excursions (you will not have regular class on Thursdays these weeks).
