Teaching and Mentoring Activities
Dr. Frangopol is a teacher and mentor who committed most of his career in furthering civil engineering education around the world. He is the founding president of two international associations (IABMAS and IALCCE), with a total of about 3,000 members from over 70 countries, where membership is free and the major biennial conferences are usually held on different continents; their objectives are to promote international cooperation in their fields for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of the society. Many students and young engineers are members of these associations.
Dr. Frangopol is the recipient of the ASCE’s 2016 Outstanding Projects and Leaders (OPAL) Lifetime Achievement Award for Education.
