CEE 274C: Microbial Ecology and Evolution (CHEMENG 457)
Structure/function relationship of microbial communities; metabolic and ecological basis of interactions in microbial communities; microbial ecology and population biology in natural and human host systems; and evolution of microbial life. Prerequisite:
CEE 274A,
CHEMENG 281 (formerly 288), or equivalent.
CEE 274E: Pathogens in the Environment
Sources, fates, movement, and ecology of waterborne pathogens in the natural environment and disinfection systems; epidemiology and microbial risk assessment. No microbiology background required; undergraduates may enroll with consent of instructor.
CEE 275A: Law and Science of California Coastal Policy (CEE 175A, EARTHSYS 175, EARTHSYS 275)
Interdisciplinary. The legal, science, and policy dimensions of managing California's coastal resources. Coastal land use and marine resource decision making. The physics, chemistry, and biology of the coastal zone, tools for exploring data from the coastal ocean, and the institutional framework that shapes public and private decision making. Field work: how experts from different disciplines work to resolve coastal policy questions. Primarily for graduate students; upper-level undergraduates may enroll with permission of instructor.
CEE 275B: Process Design for Environmental Biotechnology
Use of microbial bioreactors for degradation of contaminants and recovery of clean water, clean energy and/or green materials. Student teams design, operate, and analyze bioreactors and learn to write consulting style reports. Limited enrollment. Prerequisites: 271B
CEE 277A: Teaching Science Literacy for a Sustainable Society
Teaching science to nontechnical audiences emphasizing technologies and science for the sustainable use of water. Guest lecturers. Learning styles, and the role of engineers and scientists in K-12 and media communication. Students develop teaching modules to be used in educational settings involving nontechnical audiences.
CEE 278B: Atmospheric Aerosols
The characterization of atmospheric particulate matter: size distributions, chemical composition, health effects. Atmospheric diffusion and transport of particles: removal by convection, impaction, gravitational settling. Effect of aerosols on visibility: light scattering and absorption, reduction of visual range. Mechanics influencing ambient size distributions: Brownian coagulation, laminar shear flow, homogeneous nucleation, heterogeneous condensation. Prerequisite:
MATH 51, or equivalent. Recommended: 101B or equivalent.
CEE 278C: Indoor Air Quality (CEE 172A)
Factors affecting the levels of air pollutants in the built indoor environment. The influence of ventilation, office equipment, floor coverings, furnishings, cleaning practices, and human activities on air quality including carbon dioxide, VOCs, resuspended dust, and airborne molds and fungi. Recommended: 172 or 278A.
CEE 281: Finite Element Methods in Structural Engineering
