Rural areas are fundamental to human well-being. Within the United States, rural areas

provide unique resources such as the infrastructure for food and bioenergy production as

well as the transportation infrastructure from inland urban centers to ports. Despite this, little

attention is paid to the unique challenges and opportunities these areas face with respect to

building and maintaining civil infrastructure.

In this ten-week summer research program, students will work with faculty and graduate

students in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to

improve our understanding of how best to address the challenges facing rural

environments. Through collaboration with industry partners, students will also be given

opportunities to learn how infrastructure challenges are currently being addressed by civil

engineering industry.
