Required of and open only to Earth Systems co-terminal MS and MA students. This course has several elements, including, skill building through experiential learning and reflection and professional development. Students will either work in teams with a community partner in the Bay area on a predetermined project, or select a self- designed project with a partner anywhere in the world. The idea is to complete a well-defined, manageable, but important project to a high standard under significant time constraints. Our community partners have requested help with achieving their missions and seminar students will utilize their backgrounds in social/environmental problem solving to deliver a final product. Our partners have requested help with such efforts as grant and report writing, data analysis, curriculum development, symposium organizing, presentation research and preparation and communications to raise awareness about an environmental challenge. If you choose to design your own project, the instructor will help you to create this opportunity. Students will give oral presentations on their project progress throughout the quarter, culminating in a final presentation at a symposium with our partners. Students will also explore how best to communicate their interdisciplinary skills and goals through their resumes, CV's or cover letters, portfolios or linkedIn profiles in preparation for the next phase of their career. Guest speakers and in class workshops will complement these activities.Cardinal Course certified by the Haas Center.

This course presents the power system engineering and economic concepts necessary to understand the costs and benefits of transitioning to a low carbon electricity supply industry. The technical characteristics of generation units and transmission and distribution networks as well as the mechanisms used to operate the electricity supply industries will be studied. The fundamental economics of wholesale markets and how intermittent renewables impact the price and quantity of physical and financial products traded in these markets (e.g., energy, capacity, ancillary services, and financial contracts) will be analyzed. Long-term resource adequacy mechanisms will be introduced and their properties analyzed. The role of both short-duration and seasonal energy storage will be analyzed. Mechanisms for determining the engineering and economic need for transmission network expansions in a wholesale market will be discussed. The impact of distributed versus grid-scale generation on the performance of electricity supply industries will be studied. A detailed treatment of electricity retailing will focus on the importance of active demand-side participation in a low carbon energy sector. This course uses knowledge of probability at the level of Stats 116, optimization at the level of MS&E 111, statistical analysis at the level of Economics 102B, microeconomics at the level of Economics 51 and computer programming in R.

This three-quarter seminar is a required course for Education Data Science MS students. Central to the seminar are discussing opportunities and challenges of Education Data Science; developing community among EDS students, faculty, and external EDS innovators; making room for peer learning around students' course work, skills and experiences; and increasing understanding of and preparation for internships, the capstone project and job opportunities. Finally, students will work towards a collective EDS Seminar Paper in order to apply their learning within the seminar and coursework in an education research relevant context.
