CEE 107A: Understanding Energy (CEE 207A, EARTHSYS 103)
Energy is a fundamental driver of human development and opportunity. At the same time, our energy system has significant consequences for our society, political system, economy, and environment. For example, energy production and use is the number one source of greenhouse gas emissions. In taking this course, students will not only understand the fundamentals of each energy resource -- including significance and potential, conversion processes and technologies, drivers and barriers, policy and regulation, and social, economic, and environmental impacts -- students will also be able to put this in the context of the broader energy system and think critically about how and why society has chosen particular energy resources. Both depletable and renewable energy resources are covered, including oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, biomass and biofuel, hydroelectric, wind, solar thermal and photovoltaics (PV), geothermal, and ocean energy, with cross-cutting topics including electricity, storage, climate change, sustainability, green buildings, energy efficiency, transportation, and the developing world. The course is 4 units, which includes lecture and in-class discussion, readings and videos, assignments, and two off-site field trips. Enroll for 5 units to also attend the Workshop, an interactive discussion section on cross-cutting topics that meets once per week for 80 minutes (timing TBD based on student schedules). The 3-unit option requires instructor approval - please contact Diana Ginnebaugh. Website:

CEE 112A: Industry Applications of Virtual Design & Construction
Building upon the concept of VDC Scorecard,
CEE 112A/212A investigates in the management of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) programs and projects in the building industry. Interacting with experts and professionals in real estate, architecture, engineering, construction and technology providers, students will learn from the industry applications of Building Information Modeling and its relationship with Integrated Project Delivery, Sustainable Design and Construction. Students will conduct case studies to evaluate the maturity of VDC planning, adoption, technology and performance in practice. Students taking 3 or 4 units will be paired up with independent research or case study projects on the industry applications of VDC. No prerequisite. See
CEE112B/212B in the Winter Quarter and
CEE 112C/212C in the Spring Quarter.

CEE 112C: Industry Applications of Virtual Design & Construction (CEE 212C)
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 113: Patterns of Sustainability (CEE 213)
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.
