12-780   Special Topics: Advanced Python and Web Prototyping for Infrastructure Systems

This course uses the Python and Javascript programming language to introduce advanced programming approaches to students from civil and environmental engineering.

Students are required to already know a modern programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C++, etc.), or have taken the 12-746 course.

This course will cover graphical user interface design in HTML5, web-based application design using Python and Javascript, information visualization and data analytics using 3rd party libraries in Python.

Students will work on a programming project from the beginning of this course and continue building it in class using the introduced programming approaches.

Real-world examples from infrastructure management will be used for in-class demonstration and term project.
