Dr. Kevin Heaslip, professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Center for Transportation Research at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will give the Abbett Lecture, hosted by the Center for Intelligent Infrastructure and civil, architectural and environmental engineering.
His lecture titled “The Need for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Education and Research in Civil Engineering” will touch on cyber-physical systems (CPS) that are becoming increasingly crucial in civil engineering, as modern infrastructure relies on the interaction between digital systems and physical components. From smart grids and autonomous transportation to intelligent buildings, CPS enhances operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability. However, the rapid integration of these technologies requires specialized education and research to address system security, reliability, and scalability challenges. Incorporating CPS knowledge into civil engineering curricula and advancing research in this area is essential for preparing engineers to design, manage, and secure future infrastructure.
