has forged a partnership with the University of Maryland Center for Technology and Systems Management and the American Society of Civil Engineers to accelerate the development of climate-smart engineering codes and standards.
Samuel Graham, Ph.D., dean of UMD’s A. James Clark School of Engineering, said the partnership will help close the gap between climate change awareness and engineering practice. “Society wants and needs solutions to the world’s grand challenges like climate change; engineers will play a central role in every solution," he said.
“ASCE fully supports the partnership with NOAA and the university,” said Tom Smith, Executive Director of ASCE. “The results will be of critical importance in supporting the development of standards for resilient infrastructure nationally and globally.”
