CEE 177K: Environmental Information Engineering (CEE 277K)
The role of information technology (IT) in enabling mankind to understand its impact on the planet and balance that with improving the quality of life of a rapidly growing population. After surveying the field, the course will examine the specific impacts that IT may have, by reference to case studies from energy, transportation, water and urban design fields. While some specific information technologies will be examined, this will be from a business perspective - detailed technical knowledge of IT not required.
Last offered: Summer 2012
CEE 177L: Smart Cities & Communities (CEE 277L)
The role of information technology (IT) in enabling mankind to improve the operations and sustainability of cities and communities. Review of what a "smarter" city of community might be, the role of IT in enabling them to become "smarter" (including what IT cannot achieve). Case studies on water, energy, transportation urban design and resilience.
