Question

Prepare a 500-word reflection on the video that you watched.

Please upload your reflection to Canvas as a PDF saved as:

R1_FirstName_LastName.PDF. The reflection should not be a

simple summary of the video but rather your broader

interpretation of the material presented in the episode. Did the

video give you a new perspective on the importance of energy in

civil engineering systems: water/wastewater infrastructure, cities

and buildings, and transportation networks? What energy-related

factors must civil engineers consider when developing the future

infrastructure? What can history teach us about the sustainable

(or unsustainable) use of our energy resources? Why are many

civil engineering systems energy-intensive? What are some

countries and companies doing to make their systems more

energy-efficient? What did you enjoy about the PBS series?
