Power generation technologies have nonnegligible impacts on macro/microclimate, landusage, and/or material usage, albeit to varying degrees. Moreover, the infrastructural resilience ofthe power grid as well as its component and resource redundancy levels determine the number andduration of outages experienced by customers, particularly in the aftermath of major events.Although these topics are

The SEAR lab investigates how communities, companies, and countries can allocate their limited resources in a way that maximizes their desired outcomes in a sustainable, equitable, and resilient but also elegant way. The SEAR lab assesses these problems by combining physical experimentation, data analytics, and stochastic systems optimization to provide actionable decisions and create scalable prototypes.Dr. Victoria C.

According to the UNEP 2022 Global Status Reportfor Buildings and Construction [1], the buildings and construction sector consumes about 34percent of global energy use and accounts for 37 percent of global energy and process-relatedcarbon emissions in 2021. Civil engineers who are responsible for the design and construction ofthese physical systems play an essential role in reducing carbon emissions, thereby mitigatingclimate change. In terms of resilience, the infrastructure systems civil engineers design andconstruct typically have long service lives. That said, the increasing severity of hazardsattributable to climate change places these systems at significant risk, where

These discussions make it clear that microgrids are a scientificallybacked alternative to the faulty electricity grid Texas is currently operating on.The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has done extensive research on how microgridscan be implemented into society and proposed a three step process to help policymakers makeinformed decisions. The first of the three steps is Market Preparation. This step requires lawmakers toinvest in extensive research and resilience planning to determine how to design microgrids in order tomeet the needs of the population, identify the most critical infrastructure facilities that will benefitfrom the deployment of microgrids, and determine how microgrids will feed into and out of thecentralized grid

While the computingresources that we teach in our program are important, the main design challenges for the siteinvolved device cooling, auxiliary power capabilities, and data backups.From the cooling standpoint, modern devices are changing so quickly that not all devices areable to be liquid cooled.
