ENGR 5001 -  Foundations of the Smart City  (1 Credit)  
The Foundations badge explores the history of "smart" cities and what has enabled them to succeed or fail. Special attention is paid matters of civic and community engagement as focal points of technological innovation. Finally the implications on governance, personal privacy, and equity -- often considered secondary by technologists -- are centered and explored as primary drivers in problem-solving. Max hours: 1 Credit.
Grading Basis: Letter Grade
Typically Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer.
ENGR 5002 -  Technologies of the Smart City  (1 Credit)  
The Technologies badge explores recent developments in software and hardware and their implications for the urban experience. Open data, analytics, machine learning, the Internet of Things, and advanced mobility (electric, autonomous, and connected vehicles) are reviewed from a non-technical perspective. Prereq: ENGR 5001. Max hours: 1 Credit.
