Geosystems Engineering

The Institute of Bridge Engineering (IBE) provides practicing engineers and students the skills and knowledge to advance the nation's bridge infrastructure enterprise. Active researchers within IBE have tackled some of the nation's most pressing issues facing bridge and infrastructure engineers: fires in tunnels, modeling the the impact of different wind events on bridges, various impacts artificial intelligence has on bridges and structural health monitoring, and other aspects of the discipline. 

In addition to the active researcher happening at the Institute, IBE also works closely with the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering to prepare the next generation of bridge engineers with its Advanced Certificate in Bridge Engineering. Designed specifically for practicing engineers who want to boost their educational credentials, the certificate program trains students in new construction methods and components, improving seismic resiliency and how to address problems with aging infrastructure.
