CEE 277X: Current Topics in Sustainable Engineering (CEE 177X)
This course is the first half of a two quarter, project-based design course that addresses the cultural, political, organizational, technical, and business issues at the heart of implementing sustainable engineering projects in the developing world. Students will be placed into one of three project teams and tackle a real-world design challenge in partnership with social entrepreneurs and NGOs. In
CEE 177X/277X, students will gain the background skills and context necessary to effectively design engineering projects in developing nations. Instructor consent required.

CEE 279W: Innovation in Water Sector
A project class on the diffusion of ReNUWIt technologies into practice (David Sedlak is the overall course lead at UC Berkeley, Chris Higgins is the lead at Colorado School of Mines, and Dick Luthy is the lead at Stanford). Specifically, the class will examine the pathway through which ReNUWIt¿s engineered wetland technologies will be adopted by utilities and consultants beyond our current group of industrial partners. We will work together to prepare background information that will be used in a 2-day workshop involving ReNUWIt researchers, utility leaders and technical experts in early 2015.

CEE 279X: Sustainable Urban System Seminar (CEE 179X)
SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS: Cities are based on several different systems; infrastructures, networks and environments. The effectiveness and efficiency of these systems determine how cities work and how successful a city is at delivering critical services. These systems are not discrete and must be considered holistically as well as individually. These core systems are interconnected and must be treated as such. Understanding one system and making it work better means that cities must comprehend the larger context and how the various systems are interconnected. This seminar series will explore various aspects of these critical systems and how we can make them more resilient and robust, to meet future challenges. Guest speakers, discussion and critical readings.
