Course abstract

This course attempts to introduce students to real world risks and challenges in managing infrastructure.

We then look at a variety of novel solutions or fixes that can help us execute infrastructure projects better. The curse is replete with real-world case studies and guest lectures to ensure that what is being discussed is practically applicable.
