Who We Are
The Center for Infrastructure Transformation and Education (CIT-E) is a community of practice comprised of faculty members who share a passion for infrastructure education. CIT-E intends to transform the way that civil and environmental engineering topics are taught.​

1,000+ students have been taught using CIT-E materials
30 faculty members have contributed
13 institutions have taught an infrastructure-related course based on CIT-E materials
1 model infrastructure course is under development

​THE INFRASTRUCTURE CHALLENGE

Picture
​MODEL INTRODUCTORY INFRASTRUCTURE COURSE
​The model introductory infrastructure course introduces first or second year students to civil and environmental engineering and helps students see infrastructure as the system that it truly is. Consequently, it provides students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to effectively design, build, manage, and maintain our public works by considering societal, economic, environmental, political, and other impacts in addition to the technical considerations. The course developers, members of the CIT-E community of practice, recognize that many first or second year students have very little knowledge of infrastructure and have designed the course with this in mind. Complex mathematics is not needed in the course as the focus of the course is to provide students with a holistic view of infrastructure. The course learning outcomes were developed collaboratively by members of the CIT-E community in 2015. A course outline, specifying 43 lessons that will support the outcomes, was also developed by the community of practice. As of summer 2016, four complete lessons have been created and passed the peer review process, and 12 more are "in the pipeline." Eventually, the course will include all 43 lessons, all of which will be team-created and peer reviewed. Each lesson contains all the materials necessary to deliver the lesson: background readings for the instructor; pre-class materials for the student, including original screen casts; complete set of instructor notes including supporting PowerPoints and detailed active learning exercises; homework assignments, and solutions.
