- Rome, Italy
Roman bridges and aqueducts have endured as testaments to the
engineering achievements and ingenuity of the Roman Empire. Steeped in
history, engineering, art, architecture, and beauty, Rome provides a
unique environment applicable to the Introduction of Bridge
Engineering curriculum. Founded in 753 BC, Rome is an idyllic setting
to experience architecture and engineering spanning centuries.
The CE 377K technical elective provides students a better
understanding of bridge engineering, bridge systems, and their role in
transportation infrastructure. Participants will visit both Roman-era
and modern bridges, while learning the evolution and advancements of
engineering and structural systems. Planned visits to bridge
fabrication shops and construction sites will further establish the
important relationships between the design process and construction
infrastructure.
