Stanford-Singapore Program (SSP)
SSP is a joint effort between Nanyang Technological University's School of Civil & Environmental Engineering and Stanford's Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering to establish a Singapore-based premier graduate education and research program in environmental science and engineering. The program involves an exchange of faculty and graduate students pursuing M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, in addition to co-teaching of courses offered on both campuses through distance education technologies.

National Performance of Dams Program (NPDP)

The NPDP is a cooperative effort of engineers and dam safety professionals in the U.S. to create an information resource on dams and their performance of dams. The NPDP creates an information track that facilitates the evaluation and use of dam performance data to improve methods of design and rehabilitation, and the development of effective public policy. The NPDP will provide policy makers with information on the performance of dams that is comparable to data available to professionals and the public in other fields involving public health and safety. Information on public health, such as the rise in tuberculosis cases or the increase in the number of HIV-positive individuals, provides lawmakers and administrators with valuable input to public policy decisions. A goal of the NPDP is to develop resources that will elevate dam safety to a similar level. Go to NPDP »
