Introduction Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design of the physical and naturally built environment. One aspect of civil engineering is water resource engineering. Water resource engineering is a specific kind of civil engineering that involves the design of new systems and equipment that help manage the human water resources. In simpler terms water resources engineering is concerned with the collection and management of water. It particularly concerns

Art forms a very intricate part of the evolution of our society. It is a popular means of preserving our heritage in visually striking images and paintings. Artistic forms such as paintings also help to foster empathy in society from understanding the various emotions being expressed by any piece of art.

complex and evolving Earth system. The goal in creating EarthCube was to create a sustainable, community-based and open cyberinfrastructure for all researchers and educators across the geosciences. The NSF recognized that currently there was no infrastructure that could manage and provide access to all geosciences data in an open, transparent and inclusive manner, and that progress in geosciences would be increasingly reliant on

initiated the Cyber Mission Force in 2013 (“Department of Defense Cyber Strategy,” 2015). The Cyber Mission Force is 133 cyber teams: 68 Cyber Protection teams focused on defending the network, 13 National Mission teams to defend critical national infrastructure, 27 Combat Mission teams assisting combat commanders in planning and strategy, 25 Support Teams to support the National Mission and Combat Mission teams. Of the 40 completed teams, 80 percent are members of the military, the remaining 20 being

The Engineering Grand Challenge of restoring and improving urban infrastructure involves a foundation of challenges faced by architectural engineers today. Specifically, it is about repairing the infrastructure of a society, including its power grids, water infrastructure, roads, bridges, sustainable structures, and anything that provides support to our thriving lifestyle. Admittedly, improving infrastructure is an important challenge that can be fixed if there are new systems put in place that allow

Flint’s and The Nation’s Aging Pipeline Infrastructure In the wake of Flint’s water crisis it was realized that their aging pipeline infrastructure needed an extreme update. Flint is not the only CIKR catastrophe caused by being too tightly coupled, almost every community around the country has experienced some type of catastrophic infrastructure failure that has led to a “large-scale service interruptions, significant property damage, and human injury” as a result of being tightly coupled (Van

have failed to meet federal safety standards for lead and other harmful substances. Such crisis puts spotlights on government agencies responsible for tracking the water system and why they fail to protect the public from this crisis. The water infrastructure of the nation is old and worn out and fixing it would cost 30 billion to replace lead pipes and one trillion to upgrade the water mains. The first step taken towards solving the water crisis issue was back in 1974 with the Safe Drinking

Introduction The Department of Homeland Security is task with a very important job of coming up with a critical infrastructure and key resources sectors in order to properly protect, withstand, and rapidly recover from all hazards whether is natural disasters or from a terrorist attack. Through a critical infrastructure set in place the Department of Homeland Security can provide strategic guidance to the public and private partners, encouraging national unity of effort, as well as coordinating the

Critical Infrastructure: Critical Infrastructure is any system or service that is essential to the function of a society. A more comprehensive definition would include the finance, energy, technology, chemical, water systems, and the health and emergency services. Identifying Threats: A superpower such as the United States is always being targeted by other individuals and nationalists in hopes of weakening its power. The U.S. must remain vigilant in its resolve to secure our critical infrastructures
