Further, current public awareness ofthe vulnerability of the existing infrastructure creates an opportunity to recruit and preparestudents to become those much-needed professionals. The present work offers the conceptualframework of a collaborative effort among Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)to develop an interdisciplinary program in resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Theframework includes the development of transformational pedagogic interventions and changesthat will challenge the disciplinary splits among AEC. The framework targets values and skillsfor inter and transdisciplinary problem solving, as well as

A conceptual framework has been developed, together with metricsand computational methods for assessing infrastructure integrity [1-4]. II is the ability of aninfrastructure system to exhibit reliability, flexibility, resilience, and adaptability. Although II isuseful for application to any infrastructure system, it is particularly applicable to electricsystems, and it provides a foundation on which to build in considering the future development ofelectric grids.
