Infrastructure topics have grown in prominence in engineeringprograms as evidenced by an NSF to Clemson University for the establishment of a master ofscience program in Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure (8) and the Sustainable and ResilientInfrastructures Program launched in 2012 at Illinois University (9). If asked over dinner or at the water cooler, a civil engineer is very likely to say,“Civilengineers have been building infrastructure for 2,000 years.” Even though this is true, the use,understanding, and interest in all things infrastructure has grown in the mind of the public in thepast ten years to the point that is a common element of public and private discourse.

Page 23.1123.2IntroductionProficiency in STEM education has been identified by the federal government and federally-commissioned committees as essential to US competitiveness in the global marketplace1. Inaddition, having a scientifically literate workforce of engineers and technicians is imperative toensure that infrastructural resources are effective and resilient enough to face dynamic andchallenging environmental and economic forces. Few examples better represent this loomingissue than our country’s aging urban water infrastructure. Outdated

They are unified by several characteristics: easeof implementation (notably, none of the suggested practices require new infrastructure or staff),novelty, and potential to not just retain more scientists and engineers, but to create betterscientists and engineers. In addition, each practice can be applied to improve a single course ormore broadly implemented over several courses to further the benefits. Also, while the focus ofthese practices is on high school education, the contexts of middle school, high school

They can beused to enhance the reliability, resiliency, efficiency and finally security of microgrids. In thecustomer’s side, resources for energy generations can cut the peak loads of customers andconsequently the costs of electricity. This will be improved when the renewable energy sourcesare used along with energy storage systems. It can be mentioned that in the area of integration ofrenewable energy sources into interconnected power systems, energy storage systems areimportant enabling factor. This is due to uncertainty of solar and wind energy resources. Thestored energy is used when it is needed
