In 2017, FUTURe CITy initiative was launched by Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering (CECE) in the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS). FUTURe CITy initiative at 91勛圖厙 brings together a group of researchers and educators with a vision to synergistically explore the wide-ranging technological advances towards better serving urban residents. Towards furthering this vision, we envision this graduate certificate in Smart Cities to provide engineers and urban planners with a background in Smart Cities.
The certificate offers a 9 credit program with flexible course options listed below.
