Dr. Andrew DelSanto is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Construction Management, as well as a former adjunct faculty in the Department of Civil Engineering, here at WNE. He received his B.S. in both engineering (specializing in civil engineering) and applied mathematics from Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI in 2018. He received his M.S. (2021) and Ph.D. (2024) in civil engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst while working as a research fellow for the Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (https://necasc.umass.edu/). Dr. DelSanto is also a licensed Professional Engineer (specializing in Construction Engineering) for the state of New Hampshire, and a former engineer for Clark Construction LLC in Washington D.C. where he specialized in early project planning and budgeting. His primary research background utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyze both historic data and future climate projections for improved infrastructure design in the northeast United States. While at WNE, he has taught the following courses:
- CEE-242: Strength of Materials Lab
- CEE-251: Land Surveying
- CMGT-200: Computer Aided Design (CAD)
- CMGT-300: Introduction to Soil Behavior and Site Development
- CMGT-301: Analysis of Concrete, Wood, and Steel
- CMGT-303: Leadership, Ethics, and Human Resources
- CMGT-400 & CMGT-402: Material Quality Control Testing and Lab
- CMGT-403 & CMGT-590: Introduction to Construction Law and Regulation
- CMGT-439: Senior Design Project #1
- CMGT-680: Advanced Construction Engineering Project
- CMGT-690 & CMGT-691: Special Topics- Advanced Construction Law and Contract Regulation
As part of his research, he has designed two open source web-applications to help engineers calculate floods and droughts in the New England states, with the option to incorporate future climate change projections directly into calculations:
He has also first-authored two open-source papers related to the methodologies above and one second authored paper:
