printer friendly pageCEE 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.

CEE 127E: Infrastructure, Disruptive Technologies and Entrepreneurship. (CEE 227E)
Silicon Valley provides a dynamic environment perfectly suited for developing the disruptive technologies that are changing the faces of today¿s mainstream infrastructure systems and essential service industries. This course will provide an overview of the most exciting technologies emerging from Silicon Valley right now and the potential that exists to disrupt mainstream transportation, electricity, intelligence gathering, and banking infrastructure systems that were dominant in the 20 th Century. Guest speakers include prominent CEOs, visionaries, investors, and serial entrepreneurs who are building game changing companies.
CEE 129S: Climate Change Adaptation in the Coastal Built Environment (CEE 229S)
How will climate change impact coastal ports and harbors around the world? Leading experts discuss the latest science, policy, and engineering research on this important issue, including the necessary response to protect ports and harbors from significant sea-level rise and storm surge. Focus is on the built environment. Guest speakers.

CEE 133: Advanced Rhinoceros Modeling and Workflows (CEE 233)
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 134A: Site and Space
Preference to Architectural Design and CEE majors; others by consent of instructor. An architectural design studio exploring the Stanford Green Dorm project. Initial sessions develop a working definition of sustainable design and strategies for greening the built environment in preparation for design studio work. Enrollment limited to 14. Prerequisites: 31 or 31Q, and 110 and 130.
