    Traveling throughout Latin America one can encounter stunning examples of engineering expertise, from the Aztec and Mayan pyramids and cities such as Tenochtitlan, Palenque and Tikal, to the lost city of the Inca, Machu Picchu, to name just a few. This course is designed to introduce students to the methods employed in the design and construction of these and other major Pre-Columbian structures, and to analyze why these structures have remained stable in the face of time and natural hazards. Factors which made pre-Columbian engineers so effective will be analyzed using basic principles of civil engineering. The class will consist of preparatory lectures, discussion, exercises, a site visit to Cuzco and Machu Picchu (Peru), and debriefings subsequent to the site visit.
