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 former engineer for Clark Construction LLC in Washington D.C. where he specialized in early project planning and budgeting. His primary research background is in applying machine learning to analyze both historic data and climate change 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 Mechanics and Site Development
- CMGT 303: Leadership, Ethics, and Human Resources
- CMGT-400 and CMGT-402: Material Quality Control Testing and Lab
- CMGT-403 and CMGT-590: Introduction to Construction Law and Regulation
- CMGT-439: Senior Design Project #1
- CMGT-680: Advanced Construction Engineering Project
- CMGT-691 Special Topic: Advanced Construction Law and Contracts
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:
