CEE 133A: Studio 1: Architecture - Space, Light, and Movement (CEE 233A)
This introductory architectural design course in the studio core sequence leads students through a series of spatial design exercises. Students will explore the fundamental principles of architectural design through drawing, model making, analysis, craft, organizational systems, narrative, movement, light, form, and scale. Students will also explore architecture on campus, taking their personal experience as a point of departure for the design investigations.

CEE 133B: Studio 2: Architecture - Architectonics and Urbanism (CEE 233B)
Building on
CEE 133A, this core studio teaches conceptual and spatial thinking skills through a series of model-based investigations. Students will develop architectural proposals through process-driven assignments, examining space-making at multiple scales. Students will explore a range of tectonic vocabularies and will be able to link material choices to conceptual intent and building performance while integrating fundamental sustainable design principles.

CEE 133C: Studio 3: Integrated Architecture and Engineering (CEE 233C)
Building on the core studio sequence of
CEE 133A and 133B, this integrator studio asks students to develop a design for a building that incorporates sustainable systems and structural engineering. Students will study site dynamics, programmatic relationships, materiality, and scale. CEE faculty will collaborate to aid in the synthesis of structures, sustainable strategies, and metrics to support and enhance the design and its narrative.

CEE 136: Planning Calif: the Intersection of Climate, Land Use, Transportation & the Economy (CEE 236, PUBLPOL 130, PUBLPOL 230, URBANST 130)
Cities and urban areas have always been transformed by major external changes like pandemics and public health crises. California is both in the midst of its greatest economic recession since the Great Depression and experiencing a pandemic that has the potential to reshape many aspects of life. Planning for cities and regions, however, is a long game that requires follow-through on decisions made sometimes over many decades. How do we balance the shocks to our assumptions from the current Covid world with the need to plan long-term for issues like affordable housing and equitable cities, and perhaps most fundamentally, prepare our cities and communities for the inevitability of climate change and climate impact? nnnnThis course takes an interdisciplinary view of the key contemporary planning topics in California. It does so from looking at the intersection of climate laws, land use changes, the need for housing, travel patterns and the availability of high quality jobs and employment.

It does so from looking at the intersection of climate laws, land use changes, the need for housing, travel patterns and the availability of high quality jobs and employment. This course will give you an understanding of the roles of key levels of government, from the state to the region/metropolitan scale, to the city and county, down to the neighborhood and parcel level. it will give students insight into leading themes and issues of the day in California such as the future of downtowns, the role of high speed rail, the impact of telework, automation in the construction of housing, drawing from examples in San Jose and San Francisco, the Central Valley, the state legislature, Southern California. Within each of these topics we will look at the impact of decisions on equity as well as climate and the economy. nnnnThe instructors are Kristy Wang, formerly SPUR¿s Community Planning Policy Director, and Egon Terplan, Senior Advisor for Economic Development and Transportation in the California Governor¿s Office, formerly SPUR¿s Regional Planning Director.

CEE 141B: Infrastructure Project Delivery (CEE 241B)
Infrastructure is critical to the economy, global competitiveness and quality of life. Topics include transportation, social infrastructure, energy, water and communications sectors. Analysis of how projects are designed, constructed, operated, and maintained. Focus is on public works projects globally, alternative project delivery approaches and organizational strategies. Case studies include three real infrastructure megaprojects managed by the Instructor while in Industry. Nine integrated guest lecturers from Industry supplement specific functional areas of expertise. Student teams prepare competing design/build/finance/operate/maintain (DBFOM) proposals for a large infrastructure project.

CEE 145E: Equitable Infrastructure Solutions (CEE 245E)
The built environment enables access to economic and social mobility, however access to such systems is not uniform across communities. This creates infrastructure inequity. Climate change threatens to exacerbate existing inequities in interdependent infrastructure systems such as energy, transportation, air, and water/wastewater to name a few. The engineer of tomorrow must understand the inequities in the system and the policies that produced them in order to develop robust and innovative approaches to design and manage future systems. This course will introduce students to the prominent theories of equity and environmental justice with a focus on implementation for infrastructure. Students will learn the limitations of decontextualized technical engineering solutions and their impacts on society. Upon completion of the course, students will understand how to abstract and develop models that incorporate elements of equity and justice in civil engineering systems. This course is design

CEE 162D: Introduction to Physical Oceanography (CEE 262D, EARTHSYS 164, ESS 148)
An introduction to what causes the motions in the oceans. Topics include: the physical environment of the ocean; properties of sea water; atmosphere-ocean interactions; conservation of heat, salt, mass, and momentum, geostrophic flows, wind-driven circulation patterns; the Gulf Stream; equatorial dynamics and El Nino; and tides. By the end of the course, students will have physical intuition for why ocean currents look the way they do and a basic mathematical framework for quantifying the motions. Prerequisite:

CEE 162F: Coastal Processes
Dynamics of flow, wave and sediment transport processes governing the physical behavior of the coastal ocean. Analysis of the governing physics and application of statistical methods to understand and predict waves, tides, storm surge, sea-level rise, sediment transport, coastal morphology, and estuarine circulation. The course will introduce students to coding methods to analyze real tide and wave datasets with statistical methods, predict the evolution and breaking of waves on a beach, and develop a model of coastal morphology.
