ability to solve.Summary and conclusion:As stewards of the nation’s infrastructure, civil engineers can provide the public andpolicymakers with expert advice on the condition and ways to improve the nation’sinfrastructure. To begin that task, ASCE offers these five Key Solutions to raise the grades: Increase federal leadership in infrastructure to address the crisis. Promote sustainability and resilience in infrastructure to protect the natural environment and withstand natural and manmade hazards. Develop national, regional, and state infrastructure plans that complement a national vision and focus on systems-wide results. Address life-cycle costs and ongoing maintenance to meet the needs of current and future

. This program integrated information from a variety of contexts to solve complex problems while communicating effectively, a perfect fit to the related study environment. A similar program called PROSPER, (PROmoting School-community- university Partnerships to Enhance Resilience) has had exceptional results as well. A key reason for advocating for partnerships among schools, universities, and communities is that they can build upon previously developed public education infrastructures for the provision of training, technical assistance, and other resources used to enhance capacity for sustained implementation Page
