Abstract EN
ISIS (Intelligent Sensing for Innovative Structures) Canada intends to introduce significant innovations in the design and construction of civil engineering structures.
Therefore, it is imperative that the innovative structures be monitored for their health, in order for changes in design and construction to be accepted.
Civionics is a new term coined from Civil–Electronics, which is derived from the application of electronics to civil structures.
It is similar to the term Avionics, which is used in the aerospace industry.
For structural health monitoring to become part of civil structural engineering, it should include Civionics.
As a step towards achieving this goal, ISIS Canada is developing a new discipline, which integrates Civil Engineering and Electrophotonics under the combined banner of Civionics [1].
The new discipline of Civionics must be developed by Civil Structural Engineers and Electrophotonics Engineers to lend validity and integrity to the process.
Civionics will produce engineers with the knowledge to build “smart” structures containing the necessary structural health monitoring (SHM) equipment to provide much needed
