CEE 327: Construction Robotics
Advances in technologies, such as sensing, positioning, and computing, combined with Building Information Models (BIM) enable the use of robots in unstructured environments like construction. Class sessions contrast the development of construction robots with manufacturing robots, showcase the application of construction robots to at least ten tasks, such as drilling, painting, layout, bricklaying, etc., and introduce the Robotics Evaluation Framework (REF). The small-group class project carried out with industry partners applies the REF to compare the health and safety, quality, schedule, and cost performance of robotic and traditional construction methods.

CEE 329: Artificial Intelligence Applications in the AEC Industry
Through weekly lectures given by prominent researchers, practicing professionals, and entrepreneurs, this class will examine important industry problems and critically assess corresponding AI directions in both academia and industry. Students will gain an understanding of how AI can be used to provide solutions in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry and asses the technology, feasibility, and corresponding implementation effort. Students are expected to participate actively in the lectures and discussions, submit triweekly reflection writings, and present their own evaluation of existing solutions. Enrollment limited to 12 students.

CEE 330B: Quest for an Inclusive Clean Energy Economy (CEE 130B, EARTHSYS 130B, EARTHSYS 330B)
Building bridges across the clean energy divide involves addressing barriers to participation. These barriers affect the pace of investment, especially for distributed energy solutions such as building energy upgrades, on-site solar, and transportation electrification. This course will explore innovative business models that are responsive to calls for equity and inclusion, and it will give special attention to California's ongoing clean energy finance rulemaking in the utility sector to open the clean energy economy for all.

CEE 341: Virtual Design and Construction
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) starts by understanding the client's objectives for building performance and the translation of these objectives into measurable project and production objectives. Based on a culture of proactive and constructive engagement, three mutually supportive strategies are essential to achieve these objectives: (1) the knowledge of the many disciplines contributing to the design and construction of a buildable, usable, operable, and sustainable building needs to be orchestrated concurrently, (2) the information supporting the project team must be integrated and be accessible seamlessly, and (3) the workflow carried out by the project team must enable the creation of integrated knowledge and information and lead to decisions that stick. This course will teach all the essential elements of VDC. This is an online course. Prerequisite: 100 or consent of instructor. Recommended:
CEE 240,
CEE 241.

CEE 362A: Uncertainty Quantification (ME 470)
Uncertainty is an unavoidable component of engineering practice and decision making. Representing a lack of knowledge, uncertainty stymies our attempts to draw scientific conclusions, and to confidently design engineering solutions. Failing to account for uncertainty can lead to false discoveries, while inaccurate assessment of uncertainties can lead to overbuilt engineering designs. Overcoming these issues requires identifying, quantifying, and managing uncertainties through a combination of technical skills and an appropriate mindset. This class will introduce modern techniques for quantifying and propagating uncertainty and current challenges. Emphasis will be on applying techniques in genuine applications, through assignments, case studies, and student-defined projects. Prerequisite: Basic probability and statistics at the level of
CME 106 or equivalent.
