CEE 263G: Energy Policy in California and the West (ENERGY 73, POLISCI 73, PUBLPOL 73)
This seminar provides an in-depth analysis of the role of California state agencies and Western energy organizations in driving energy policy development, technology innovation, and market structures, in California, the West and internationally. The course covers three areas: 1) roles and responsibilities of key state agencies and Western energy organizations; 2) current and evolving energy and climate policies; and 3) development of the 21st century electricity system in California and the West. The seminar will also provide students a guideline of what to expect in professional working environment.

CEE 265H: Big Earth Hackathon Wildland Fire Challenge (CEE 165H)
Come and tackle a problem in sustainability by participating in Stanford's Big Earth Hackathon challenge on wildland fires and finding an innovative solution to wildland fire prediction, mitigation, and/or equity and fairness. Students work in self-organized diverse teams of 1-4 students in weeks 1-8, with a final presentation of the work on Friday May 31. The teams will spend the first few weeks designing their specific team problem/scope/goals under one or more of the three primary areas of focus. Guidance in the design and solution processes will be provided by faculty, industry and/or community leaders. Workshops in data analysis, programming, GIS, and fundamental issues related to wildfires will be provided at the start of the quarter to give students tools and insights to define and tackle problems.

CEE 270F: Fundamentals of Applied Research Design
This course supports early-stage PhD students training in applied fields to develop original research questions and rigorous study designs. After a brief introduction to epistemology and its relationship to research design, the course interrogates the idea of rigor in research and how it is operationalized across four different study designs. Students also learn principles of measurement theory and how to identify valid and reliable indicators for constructs of interest. Finally, the course covers the practice of identifying testable implications as a means of validating research claims. Assignments include drafting short proposals for original research and reviewing proposals written by peers.

CEE 272M: Sustainable Mobility Seminar
This seminar course will introduce critical aspects of sustainable mobility and future mobility systems including energy systems, infrastructure, economics and policy, safety and co-design. In seminar talks by researchers and industry experts, we will introduce students to the technology behind the different aspects of sustainable mobility: the benefits, and unique challenges required to build solutions in the multidisciplinary world of transportation. Students will develop an understanding of the interactions of technology, business and policy through the lens of equity, decarbonization, safety and resilience.

CEE 272R: Engineering Future Electricity Systems (ENERGY 272R)
The electricity grid is undergoing a dramatic transformation due to the urgency to decarbonize, improve resilience against climate-induced extreme weather events, and provide affordable reliable access to at-risk communities.This fast-paced course aims to build a systematic understanding of the future electric power grid. Students will learn how to model, simulate, and optimize grid components, with an emphasis on new technologies such as storage, clean energy sources, and electric vehicles. The course is organized in five sections: loads, distribution, transmission, storage, and generation, and within these modules, students will explore the roles of a variety of grid ecosystem participants (e.g. system operators, utilities, aggregators, technology vendors, and consumers). Students will be exposed to grid modeling, optimization, data science, and economics at an introductory level that allows them to perform basic assessments and develop proof of concept ideas in Python. After this course, much of the current literature and technology developments in the electric grid should be readily accessible for those interested in furthering their learning.
