Overview: Infrastructure asset management is a concept, a framework and a tool for making cost effective decision about investments in the maintenance, renewal and rebuilding of our physical infrastructure. The requirement for state departments of transportation to develop transportation asset management plans has focused additional attention on this area. Bootcamp is developed as a series of modules. The modules are aimed at helping students and practitioners to gain in-depth knowledge in particular areas of asset management. While the modules focus on transportation assets, examples are also drawn from other infrastructure assets. Each module includes an overview of the larger context, basic theory, examples and exercises. The modules are taught by internationally renowned experts from universities in the United States, Canada and Chile. In 2021, the bootcamp and the modules are offered in an online format over the summer. Bootcamp runs from June 9 to August 11. Individual modules are offered between June 16 and August 4. Each module can be completed individually or in any combination with others.

Student and practitioners are invited to enroll in “Advanced Infrastructure Asset Management Bootcamp”, a 4-week intensive program that involves review of online materials, 3 hours of synchronous instruction and participation in exercises each session and a course project. Options are available for a hybrid format, and a rail or highway focus.

The individual modules will also be available. Completing the introduction, all modules and the project provides credit for University of Delaware course: CIEG 867 Seminar: Advanced Infrastructure Management (3 credits). For students from other institutions, arrangements can be made to obtain independent study credit at your home institution.
