Developing my Teaching Modules on Civil Engineering Perspectives on DRRID

I developed a draft of CE-DRRID Teaching Modules,  "Teaching Modules on Civil Engineering Perspectives on Disaster Risk Reduction and Infrastructure Development (DRRID)" for my DRRID Graduate Seminar. I am now using the draft modules and maybe improved these modules for the next offering. The highlights of the teaching modules: are as follows:

1. The various Civil Engineering specializations and their role in DRRID is emphasized

2. The various tasks per CE specialization are aligned to the Sendai Framework Priorities

3. The role of artificial intelligence and information & communication technology is introduced as a research tool in pursuing research on CE-DRRID.

4. My simple key take aways per module:

• CE Education: "DRR is not an optional topic, it's core to ethical & professional practice."
• CE Research: "CE Research must integrate DRR to address safety and sustainability - major responsibilities of civil engineers as specified in the CE Code of Ethics."
• Structural Engg:  "Structural Resilience - Design it right, the first time." 
• Water Resources Engg: "DRR must be integrated to CCA to be address both present and future climate-driven risks."
• Transportation Engg: "Transportation is the lifeline during disasters." 
• Geotechnical Engg is the "foundation of disaster-resilient infrastructures." 
• Construction Engg is the "bridge between disaster risk reduction and resilient infrastructures." 
• AI & ICT are "not replacing engineers -  ICT provides the tools, AI provides the intelligence - they are empowering us to build safe, smarter and more resilient societies."
