Project Aims To Focus Research on Goals That Matter

摘要

Global changes, such as population growth, rising sea level and energy demand, create challenges for civil engineers. And advances in data sensing, and analysis can help address them-but researchers must concentrate on significant needs to make useful contributions. "We see so many people doing research that doesn't help anyone," laments loannis Brilakis, an assistant professor in civil engineer-Ing at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta. His research focuses on use of computers and information technology in construction.
