RESUMEN: Un curso llamado Ingeniería en las Americas antes de Colon fue desarrollado en la escuela Swanson de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Pittsburgh para introducir al los estudiantes de pre-grado a los métodos de ingeniería civil empleados por los Incas del Perú en el diseño y construcción de sus obras de ingenieria civil que han permanecido estables a pesar del tiempo y las catástrofes naturales. Los lugares visitados por los estudiantes fueron Cuzco, Machu Picchu, Pisac, Moray, Ollantaytambo y el puente colgante de Qeswachaka. .Los estudiantes trabajando en grupos, prepararon un reporte bien detallado acerca de su investigación sobre un tópico de su interés.
