This course provides in-depth knowledge and application of methods and techniques to use data for the monitoring, assessment, and control of civil and environmental engineering (CEE) systems. The course is divided into three main modules: (1) data collection and monitoring, (2) analytics and learning, and (3) prediction and control. Topics include: (1): sampling, control variables, optimal sensor placement, and value of information; (2): data filtering, regression, classification, and machine learning; and (3): prediction algorithms, control methods, human behavior change, and public policy considerations. The course format combines theoretical foundations and hands-on application of concepts.
