Where are we in Infrastructure Education?

Neil S. Grigg

Colorado State University

Recent articles in PublicWorks Management& Policy have explained how societal and technological changes are placing new requirements on managers of civil infrastructure systems. One author proposed a curriculum of core courses, primarily for engineering students, and suggested that the market for such courses should be tested. Another author outlined a plan to reexamine the curriculum in infrastructure management. This dialogue reports on experiences with courses in infrastructure management over three decades and on experiments in related programs. The dialogue suggests that real needs in infrastructure education go well beyond these courses, and that the more urgent issue is to integrate skill training in areas such as problem formulation, systems analysis, and public involvement into ongoing educational programs.
