To prepare students to solve thesechallenges, the Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and Civil Engineering Technology(CET) programs at Old Dominion University (ODU) are introducing a new minor titledEngineering Solutions for Climate Adaptation and Resilience. This minor ensures that graduatesunderstand how climate is changing, how it will impact society, and what solutions can be adoptedto mitigate the impacts of climate change. The minor will incorporate two new classes, Managingthe Climate Crisis, which will provide an understanding of climate science, the

However, it does notcover concepts related to data acquisition and processing from the standpoint of technology andhardware. In the last decades, data-driven models have significantly affected almost everyindustry.
