Course focuses on multi-disciplinary conceptual design of self-sustaining facilities in remote, extreme environments. Through this learn-by-doing course, students will apply an integrated sustainable design methodology for facility planning and operations. Research into environmental design criteria, opportunities, and constraints to logically guide facility form, shape, systems, and operational requirements. Additional independent study unit available for participation in process experiment. Guest lectures, discussion section, class project. Graduate only.
CEE 229: Climate Change Adaptation for Seaports: Engineering and Policy for a Sustainable Future (CEE 129)
Interdisciplinary. Exploration of impacts of climate change on coastal ports and harbors around the world. The research team will utilize a broad range of tools to assess the engineering, construction, and policy responses necessary to protect ports and harbors from significant sea-level rise and storm surge. Collaborations with national and international experts. Consideration of economic, social and environmental implications. Independent and team projects will contribute to ongoing research. Guest speakers, case studies and field trips.

CEE 232: Interplay of Architecture and Engineering (CEE 132)
The range of requirements that drive a building's design including architecture, engineering, constructability, building codes, and budget. Case studies illustrate how structural and mechanical systems are integrated into building types including residential, office, commercial, and retail. In-class studio work.
CEE 233: Advanced Rhinoceros Modeling and Workflows (CEE 133)
Rhinoceros is a powerful 3D modeling program that provides great control and accuracy, and also allows great flexibility and creativity in the design process. Rhinoceros is used by many top-level architecture firms because it can be customized, it can be integrated with many other design programs, and has the potential to create unique and detailed forms. The course will concentrate on introducing students to the Rhinoceros platform in great depth so that they may comfortably utilize the program for any type of design project.nnIn addition to basic and advanced modeling skills in Rhinoceros, the course will explore an integrated workflow between design environments. Comprehension will be expanded from simple 3D modeling to a process that optimizes the strengths of different design platforms. Students will study and implement an integrated workflow that connects powerful conceptual modeling with building information models in order to produce a quality design product ready for documentation and presentation.
CEE 236: Green Architecture (CEE 136)
Preference to Architectural Design and CEE majors; others by consent of instructor. An architectural design studio exploring green design and green design processes. Initial sessions develop a working definition of sustainable design and strategies for greening the built environment in preparation for design studio work. Prerequisites: 31 or 31Q, and 110 and 130. Enrollment is limited to 14 (or possibly 16) students. Please do not enroll in the class until after attending the first class meeting. If the number of students interested in taking the class is greater than 14 (or possibly 16), space will be assigned based on requirements for graduation.
CEE 241A: Infrastructure Project Development (CEE 141A)
Infrastructure is critical to the economy, global competitiveness and quality of life. Topics include energy, transportation, water, public facilities, and communications sectors. Analysis of the condition of the nation's infrastructure and how projects are planned and financed. Focus is on public works in the U.S. The role of public and private sectors through a step-by-step study of the project development process. Case studies of real infrastructure projects. Industry guest speakers. Student teams prepare project environmental impact statements.

CEE 242A: Negotiating Sustainable Development (CEE 142A, EARTHSYS 142A, EARTHSYS 242A)
How to be effective at achieving sustainability by learning the skills required to negotiate differences between stakeholders who advocate for their own interests. How ecological, social, and economic interests can be effectively balanced and managed. How to be effective actors in the sustainability movement, and use frameworks to solve complex, multiparty processes. Case study analysis of domestic and international issues. Students negotiate on behalf of different interest groups in a variety of arenas including energy, climate, land use, and the built environment. One Saturday all day field trip. No prerequisites.
CEE 245A: Global Project Seminar
Issues related to large, complex, global development projects including infrastructure development, urban and rural development, and the development of new cities. Guest presentations by industry practitioners and academics, including: Sabeer Bhatia, founder of Hotmail and architect of NanoCity; Ian Bremmer, CEO of the Eurasia Group, and Greg Huger, managing director of AirliePartners. May be repeated for credit.
