CEE 31Q: Accessing Architecture Through Drawing
Preference to sophomores. Drawing architecture provides a deeper understanding of the intricacies and subtleties that characterize contemporary buildings. How to dissect buildings and appreciate the formal elements of a building, including scale, shape, proportion, colors and materials, and the problem solving reflected in the design. Students construct conventional architectural drawings, such as plans, elevations, and perspectives. Limited enrollment.

CEE 32B: Design Theory
This seminar focuses on the key themes, histories, and methods of architectural theory -- a form of architectural practice that establishes the aims and philosophies of architecture. Architectural theory is primarily written, but it also incorporates drawing, photography, film, and other media. nnOne of the distinctive features of modern and contemporary architecture is its pronounced use of theory to articulate its aims. One might argue that modern architecture is modern because of its incorporation of theory. This course focuses on those early-modern, modern, and late-modern writings that have been and remain entangled with contemporary architectural thought and design practice. nnRather than examine the development of modern architectural theory chronologically, it is explored architectural through thematic topics. These themes enable the student to understand how certain architectural theoretical concepts endure, are transformed, and can be furthered through his/her own explorations.nCEE 32B is a crosslisting of

CEE 32V: Architectural Design Lecture Series Course
This seminar is a companion to the Spring Architecture and Landscape Architecture Lecture Series. Students will converse with lecturers before the lectures, attend the lecture, and prepare short documents (written, graphic, exploratory) for two of the lectures. The five course meeting dates will correspond with the five lecture dates: April 12, April 26, May 10, May 24, and June 8. The meeting times are 4:30 - 5:30 for the seminar and 6:30 - 7:45 for the lecture

CEE 33B: Japanese Modern Architecture
This seminar will examine Japanese architecture and theory since 1900. Through a combination of case studies, readings, and chronological overview, students will develop an in-depth understanding of the aesthetic, expression of construction, structural dynamics, material choices, and philosophical viewpoints that impact Japanese modern and contemporary architectural design. Through lectures, class discussions, a series of weekly writing assignments, and a longer paper and presentation, students will develop the tools to analyze and understand Japanese design of today.

CEE 33F: Honors Thesis Development
This course is designed for and required of those considering writing an Honors Thesis in their senior year. The course will guide students in developing their ideas into a clear, cogent and approvable proposal. Further, it will teach the basics of research including how to read an academic paper, how to write a literature review and how to develop a coherent and successful methodology. The course will meet weekly at a time convenient to all in Y2E2 267.

CEE 65SI: Transportation and the Future City (URBANST 65SI)
What should a 'city of the future' look like? This weekly speaker series will provide a broad overview to the fields of transportation engineering and city planning and how they intersect with the overarching issues of sustainability, energy, technology, equity, and climate change. Guest speakers from the transportation industry will introduce the week's topic, dive into relevant applications and case studies, and discuss their professional backgrounds and/or organizations.

CEE 102F: Food, Design and Sustainability (CEE 202F)
There are significant environmental impacts throughout the traditional food production cycle - farming, transportation, consumption. The areas of waste in this cycle are also areas of design opportunity and are a great source of inspiration for entrepreneurs and designers. The goal of this course is to expose students to the landscape of food innovation focused on increasing the sustainability of this cycle. Each week, we'll have a guest speaker from the world of food innovation share their stories with you. Then, you'll get a chance to ask them questions about their company, their journey, and their vision for the future of food sustainability. Lunch will be provided.

CEE 107A: Understand Energy (CEE 207A, EARTHSYS 103, ENERGY 107A, ENERGY 207A)
Energy is the number one contributor to climate change and has significant consequences for our society, political system, economy, and environment. Energy is also a fundamental driver of human development and opportunity. In taking this course, students will not only understand the fundamentals of each energy resource - including significance and potential, conversion processes and technologies, drivers and barriers, policy and regulation, and social, economic, and environmental impacts - students will also be able to put this in the context of the broader energy system. Both depletable and renewable energy resources are covered, including oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, biomass and biofuel, hydroelectric, wind, solar thermal and photovoltaics (PV), geothermal, and ocean energy, with cross-cutting topics including electricity, storage, climate change and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), sustainability, green buildings, energy efficiency, transportation, and the developing world.
