CEE 246D: Climate and Sustainability Fellows Seminar
The challenges associated with climate change and sustainability are seemingly ubiquitous throughout the broader entrepreneurship, venture, and innovation ecosystem today. But is entrepreneurship for climate and sustainability really unique? In what ways is it different from other forms of entrepreneurship? This seminar course, only open to members of the current Mayfield Fellows (
https://stvp.stanford.edu/mayfield-fellows-program), Accel Leaders (
https://stvp.stanford.edu/alp), Threshold Ventures Fellows (
https://stvp.stanford.edu/tvf), and Xfund Fellows (
https://stvp.stanford.edu/peak-fellows) cohorts, offers a deep dive into issues that are specific to climate and sustainability-focused entrepreneurship. The course will be led by STVP faculty and practitioners, and will invite prominent venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and innovators for weekly discussion and thought leadership sessions. Members of the current fellows cohorts should express initial interest in joining this fellows seminar here -

CEE 248: Introduction to Real Estate Development
This course will offer students an introduction to Real Estate Development. Senior Principals from Sares Regis, a regional commercial and residential real estate development company, will cover topics on all aspects of the development process. Guest speakers from the fields of architecture and engineering, finance and marketing will participate in some of the classes. They will offer the students a window into the world of how houses, apartments, office buildings and public facilities are conceived of, brought through the design and approval process, financed, marketed and then sold and/or rented. Throughout the quarter, the students will work on a group case study assignment about one local project that is currently being built or was recently completed. This assignment will be due in the form of a presentation during the final exam period. No prior knowledge of real estate is required. Class enrollment is limited to 30. Undergraduates must apply by submitting a one-page essay explaining their interest in taking the class to mradyk@srgnc.com, at least 10 days prior to the start of the quarter.

CEE 251: Negotiation (CEE 151)
Students learn to negotiate in a variety of arenas including getting a job, workplace negotiations, transactional transactions, and managing personal relationships. The class is interactive and case based; students will do weekly negotiations out of class. The instructor has worked as a professional negotiator in over 75 countries including work in political and ethnic conflict, land use and construction mediation, corporate mergers and acquisitions, and capital raising in the technology sector. He has taught this popular class at Stanford for over 20 years. An application is required in order to get into the class. Students should enroll on Axess and complete the application on Canvas by April 1st. Application instructions will be available on Axess or through the class website on Canvas. There will be a class fee in order to access the cases and other materials for the course.

CEE 252: Silicon Valley and the U.S. Government
Silicon Valley collaborations with the U.S. government have led to some of the most important technologies in our society. Driven by visionary leaders, these collaborations have overcome not only technological and business, but also regulatory, challenges to achieve exceptional innovation. The results of these innovations have addressed national issues and societal challenges. As government and industry collaboration is more important than ever to accelerate private sector innovation and shape the future of technology, join this seminar and hear the personal accounts of technology experts, business executives, and public service leaders who have paved the way.
