Robbins c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Senior Civil Engineering Students’ Views on Sustainability and ResiliencyIn recent years, civil engineering education and workforce development have evolved to includea greater emphasis on sustainability and resiliency. Sustainability balances economic, ecological,and societal needs by being responsive to community impact, human health, and theenvironment. Resilient infrastructure lasts, retaining functional and structural capacity andsupporting interconnected transportation, energy, water, and social systems after a distress event.While many

By knowing that, we could perform modifications and improvementsat the beginning of the course to adjust our initial planning for the reality of the course andstudent needs. During the workshop, we planned the following goals: (a) getting familiar with localfacilitators, managers, and infrastructure; (b) introducing the main ideas and motivating students;(c) establishing a face-to-face connection with all students; (d) providing technical training aboutelectronic tools used in the technology; and (e) establishing guidelines and internal policies withstudents to be followed throughout the course.

The College of Engineering atUNIVERSITY can be conceived of as a complex system with its own set of values, structures,hierarchies, resources, and relationships, which interact together to influence the emergentcharacteristics of the system as a whole. Systems thinking philosophy, exemplified by the workof Donella Meadows (2009) and Ervin Laszlo (1975, 1996) provide useful frameworks formaking general statements about complex systems such as a college of engineering. DonellaMeadows observes that well-functioning systems typically have at least one of threecharacteristics: resilience, self-organization, and hierarchy.The first system characteristic discussed is resilience, which can be thought of as

, USAAbstract Robustness and resilience are often thought of in terms of a system's capacity to maintainfunctionality in the face of external perturbations. Robustness is one of the major issues forcomplex networks. The robustness of the network is evaluating if the network's normal functionsare affected in case of an external perturbation. Improving the robustness of any network systemrequires analysis of its vulnerability to external perturbations1. The outcome of the analysis wouldbe the solution for random failures or adversarial attacks happening to an element of the network.The main focus of this paper is to study the evolution of evaluating the robustness of complexnetworks, specifically, the vulnerability of the clustering of the network
