printer friendly pageCEE 341: Virtual Design and Construction
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) starts by understanding the client's objectives for building performance and the translation of these objectives into measurable project and production objectives. Based on a culture of proactive and constructive engagement, three mutually supportive strategies are essential to achieve these objectives: (1) the knowledge of the many disciplines contributing to the design and construction of a buildable, usable, operable, and sustainable building needs to be orchestrated concurrently, (2) the information supporting the project team must be integrated and be accessible seamlessly, and (3) the workflow carried out by the project team must enable the creation of integrated knowledge and information and lead to decisions that stick. This course will teach all the essential elements of VDC. This is an online course. Prerequisite: 100 or consent of instructor. Recommended:
CEE 240,

ENERGY 241: Seismic Reservoir Characterization (ENERGY 141, GEOPHYS 241A)
(Same as GP241) Practical methods for quantitative characterization and uncertainty assessment of subsurface reservoir models integrating well-log and seismic data. Multidisciplinary combination of rock-physics, seismic attributes, sedimentological information and spatial statistical modeling techniques. Student teams build reservoir models using limited well data and seismic attributes typically available in practice, comparing alternative approaches. Software provided (SGEMS, Petrel, Matlab). Offered every other year.Recommended: ERE240/260, or GP222/223, or GP260/262 or
GES253/257; ERE246, GP112

INTLPOL 241S: International Security in a Changing World
This class examines the most pressing international security problems facing the world today: nuclear crises, non-proliferation, insurgencies and civil wars, terrorism, and climate change. Alternative perspectives - from political science, history, and STS (Science, Technology, and Society) studies - are used to analyze these problems. nn nnThe
INTLPOL 241S listing is open to students enrolled via the Stanford Center for Professional Development only. It has been adapted to be available to online students. This class does NOT include the two-day international negotiation simulation.
