Abstract

Theoretical concepts which led to recent advances in information technology applications in engineering have not been introduced into the civil engineering curriculum at most universities. A task and software independent CAE course at EPFL is described. The objectives of the course are to teach techniques for formalising data and knowledge, build skills for selecting appropriate methodologies for a task, present strengths and limitations of CAE methods and explain relevant advances in computer science. Since this information is not associated with specific software and hardware, it is expected that much information will remain valid throughout professional careers.
