摘要：This lecture presents a
historical perspective on the importance of imagination and creativity that are
essential for successful design and execution of major built infrastructure
projects throughout the world. Parallels to various science and technology
disciplines are drawn, stressing their importance in engineering endeavors
related to architecture, structural design, construction technologies and
project management methods. Future developments in nanotechnologies, additive
manufacturing, information technology, automation and advanced robotics for
infrastructure design and construction engineering are elaborated.
简介：Prof MiroslawSkibniewski received his
MEng from Warsaw University of Technology in 1981, and MS and PhD from
Carnegie-Mellon University in 1983 and 1986 respectively. He is also a graduate
of the Harvard University Graduate School of Education Management Development
Program. Prior to his academic career, he worked in the industry as an engineer
with the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory (which is later renamed to Professional
Service Industries, Inc.). From 1986 to 2006, he was a faculty in the School of
Civil Engineering at Purdue University. In 2005, he joined the University of
Maryland and is currently the A. James Clark Endowed Chair Professor of
Construction Engineering and Project Management.
Prof Skibniewski specializes in e-commerce technology applications
to engineering project management for construction and in construction
automation. He developed one of the first construction automation programs in
the United States and collaborated with major industrial and government
organizations both in the United States and overseas. He was a founding member
of the Board of Directors and is Past President of the International
Association for Automation and Robotics in Construction. Since 1994, he has
been the Editor-in-Chief of Automation in Construction, the North American
Editor of the Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, as well as a member
of editorial boards of over twenty other peer-reviewed scholarly journals.
Among Prof Skibniewski’s past honors are the National Science
Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1986, the American Society
of Civil Engineers' Walter L. Huber Research Prize in 1998, and the
International Association for Automation and Robotics in Construction
Tucker-Hasegawa Research Award in 2007. He was elected as a Foreign Member of
the Russian Academy of Engineering in 2006 and of the Academy of Engineering in
Poland in 2013.
