CEE 212C: Industry Applications of Virtual Design & Construction (CEE 112C)
Following the Autumn- and Winter-quarter course series,
CEE 112C/212C is an industry-focused and project-based practicum that focuses on the industry applications of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). Students will be paired up with industry-based VDC projects with public owners and private developers, such as GSA Public Buildings Service, the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway, Optima, Walt Disney Imagineering, Microsoft facilities and/or other CIFE International members. Independently, students will conduct case studies and/or develop VDC and building information models (BIM) using off-the-shelf technologies for project analysis, collaboration, communication and optimization. Students will gain insights and develop skills that are essential for academic research, internships or industry practice in VDC. Prerequisite:
CEE 112A/212A,
CEE 112B/212B,
CEE 159C/259C,
CEE 159D/259D, or Instructor's Approval.
CEE 213: Patterns of Sustainability (CEE 113)
This seminar examines the interrelated sustainability of the natural, built and social environments of places in which we live. Several BOSP centers and the home Stanford campus will hold this 1-2 unit seminar simultaneously and collaborate with a shared curriculum, assignments, web conference and a Wiki. The goal of the collaborative arrangement is to expose, share, compare and contrast views of sustainability in different parts of the world. We will look at and assess aspects of sustainability of the places we are living from a theoretical perspective from the literature, from observations and interviews in the countries in which we study.

CEE 217: Renewable Energy Infrastructure
Construction of renewable energy infrastructure: geothermal, solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, wind, biomass. Construction and engineering challenges and related issues and drivers for performance, cost, and environmental impact. Context of renewable energy infrastructure development including comparison of the types of renewable energy, key economic, environmental, and social contextual factors, applicability of a type of renewable energy given a context, related barriers and opportunities. Class project to plan a start-up for developing a type of energy infrastructure based on an engineering innovation.
CEE 221A: Planning Tools and Methods in the Power Sector
This course covers the planning methods most commonly used in the power sector today. It covers both the fundamental methods used and their applications to electricity generation, transmission and distribution planning, integrated resource planning using both energy efficiency and renewable resources as well as utility finance and ratemaking. The methods covered will include forecasting (time series, regression and the use of markets), resource assessment (including energy efficiency and demand-side management) optimization (in power markets operation and in expansion planning) and the processes used in decision-making.
CEE 225: Field Surveying Laboratory (CEE 140)
Graduate students register for 225. Friday afternoon laboratory provides practical surveying experience. Additional morning classes to prepare for the afternoon sessions. Hands-on operation of common traditional field survey tools ; introduction to the newest generation of digital measuring, positioning, and mapping tools. Emphasis is on the concept of using the data collected in the field as the basis for subsequent engineering and economic decisions.
CEE 227A: Energy System Design in Eastern Europe (CEE 127A)
