Trade-off Analytics for Infrastructure Preservation

Explore the use of trade-off analytics as a tool to assist with infrastructure development and preservation efforts, with integrated examples investigating maritime and multimodal infrastructure. (While the course examples will be on infrastructure, course projects can include any engineering management domain.) Learn sound methodology to identify stakeholders, stakeholder objectives, and measures of performance for infrastructure improvement programs. Apply descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive data, models, and analytics to evaluate current infrastructure status and identify potential improvements. Develop and implement an Excel^TM based decision support tool to provide trade-off analytics insights and assess best value-per-dollar infrastructure decisions.
