Designing Advanced Structures for Human Space Exploration

Presenters: Guillermo Trotti, President of Trotti & Associates Inc., and Dr. Dava Newman, The Apollo Program Professor of Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Harvard–MIT Health, Sciences, and Technology faculty member.

This presentation will highlight the design of advanced structures for space exploration

from the International Space Station (ISS) to the moon to Mars. The presenters will describe large structural systems used to construct the 109-meter ISS currently in low earth orbit and other space vehicles such as pressurized shells, space frames, tensegrity trusses, and inflatables. Then they look to the future and reveal structures for the surface of the moon and Mars where humans, assisted by robots and autonomous 3D-printers, will utilize in-situ materials for astronauts to become interplanetary. Finally, a second skin spacesuit design (the world’s smallest spacecraft) incorporating intelligent materials and fibers is featured as a wearable structure for Martian exploration.

Kick off Friday with a plenary session you will not want to miss.

Ballroom BNext Generation Structural Engineering: Redefining the Role of the Structural Engineer in Changing Times

Presenter: Ashraf Habibullah, President and CEO of Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI)

In this presentation, Ashraf will share his view of the future of the structural engineering profession as we approach the next quarter of the 21st Century.

As the world quickly changes, so must our profession in order to keep up with advancements in materials, construction techniques, computers, and more. Ashraf will talk about how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, 3D-printing, virtual and augmented reality, drone-based imaging, sensor technology, cloud-based project collaboration and mobile workplaces, are defining the future. How will the structural engineering profession adjust to these and other new technology-driven ways of the world?

Ashraf will discuss what his experiences have taught him about how the structural engineer’s education and role must change if our profession is to thrive in these rapidly-changing times. He demonstrates why students need to be exposed to the arts, public speaking, human psychology, and marketing so that they enter the professional world ready to lead, inspire, and motivate. Only with this foundation will students be able to fully leverage the limitless potential that our amazing profession has to offer!

Engineering and Leadership Presenter: Greg Fenves, Ph.D., M.ASCE, President of the University of Texas at AustinStructural engineering education and experience prepares one for a meaningful and impactful career as a professional engineer. But it also can motivate and develop leadership skills. This presentation discusses what educators and

professionals can do to enhance leadership in the structural engineering profession.

Gregory L. Fenves, Ph.D., M.ASCE, is president of the University of Texas at Austin and an internationally recognized structural engineer. Fenves spent 20 years on the faculty of UC Berkeley, where he became an internationally recognized expert on structural engineering for earthquakes, making contributions to the modeling and simulation of structural and geotechnical system behavior under earthquake loading. Fenves led the development of the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees), a highly modular software framework for modeling and computing the response of structural and geotechnical systems. For his accomplishments, Fenves has received four major awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers, was inducted to the National Academy of Engineering in 2014, and is a corresponding member of the Mexican Academy of Engineering.

Ticket required. Included in Full, Student, and Saturday Daily registration. Additional tickets are $95.
