printer friendly pageCEE 288: Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis (GEOPHYS 289)
Introduction to principles and procedures behind probabilistic seismic hazard and risk analysis. Engineering seismology topics include earthquake source characterization and ground motion characterization. Risk topics include fragility and vulnerability functions, ground motion selection, and an introduction to performance-based earthquake engineering. Integrative calculations to quantify hazard and risk. Prerequisite:
CEE 203 or equivalent.

CEE 385: Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering
Synthesis and application of approaches to performance-based design and assessment that recently have been developed or are under development. Emphasis is on quantitative decision making based on life-cycle considerations that incorporate direct losses, downtime losses, and collapse, and the associated uncertainties. Hazard analysis, response simulation, damage and loss estimation, collapse prediction. Case studies. Prerequisites: 282, 287, and 288.

EDUC 288: Organizational Analysis
This is an introductory course in organizational behavior intended primarily for master's students. The course is applicable to a wide range of organizational settings, but pays particular attention to studies of schools, universities, nonprofit organizations, and social movements. The course has three goals: to explore a variety of organizational contexts; to investigate different theoretical approaches that elucidate these contexts; and to provide students different ways of "seeing" and managing organizations.

GEOPHYS 288A: Crustal Deformation
Earthquake and volcanic deformation, emphasizing analytical models that can be compared to data from GPS, InSAR, and strain meters. Deformation, stress, and conservation laws. Dislocation models of strike slip and dip slip faults, in 2 and 3 dimensions. Crack models, including boundary element methods. Dislocations in layered and elastically heterogeneous earth models. Models of volcano deformation, including sills, dikes, and magma chambers. Offered every other year, autumn quarter.

GEOPHYS 288B: Crustal Deformation
Earthquake and volcanic deformation, emphasizing analytical models that can be compared to data from GPS, InSAR, and strain meters. Viscoelasticity, post-seismic rebound, and viscoelastic magma chambers. Effects of surface topography and earth curvature on surface deformation. Gravity changes induced by deformation and elastogravitational coupling. Poro-elasticity, coupled fluid flow and deformation. Earthquake nucleation and rate-state friction. Models of earthquake cycle at plate boundaries.

LAW 288: Governance and Ethics: Anti-Corruption Law, Compliance and Enforcement
Laws and regulations in the U.S. governing ethical conduct of public and industry officials and the extent to which they reflect the moral values of the community and the principles central to a democratic government. Alternative approaches to ethical conduct based on principles and values rather than compliance. Emerging global ethical and governance standards, reporting principles, and their application to emerging markets. How cultural, religious, and moral differences might impact the effectiveness of these standards.
LINGUIST 288: Natural Language Understanding (CS 224U, LINGUIST 188, SYMSYS 195U)
Project-oriented class focused on developing systems and algorithms for robust machine understanding of human language. Draws on theoretical concepts from linguistics, natural language processing, and machine learning. Topics include lexical semantics, distributed representations of meaning, relation extraction, semantic parsing, sentiment analysis, and dialogue agents, with special lectures on developing projects, presenting research results, and making connections with industry. Prerequisites:
CS 224N or
CS 224S (This is a smaller number of courses than previously.)
