printer friendly pageCEE 321: Design and Operation of Integrated Infrastructure Systems
Urban infrastructure systems are more flexible and resilient when designed, interconnected, and operated as an integrated whole. These systems include Energy, Transportation, Communication, Water, Air, Ecosystem and Geophysical systems. The class introduces basics of current infrastructure systems and explores in greater depth how these systems can be integrated in design and in operations. Students taking this course will develop a framework for understanding integrated infrastructure design from multiple engineering and civic perspectives. Specific topics include: - Boundaries and boundary conditions between built and natural infrastructure systems - quantifying and normalizing materials and energy flows between built and natural urban systems - basis of physical, economic, and legal control of infrastructure systems. When appropriate, students will be able to develop new metrics to evaluate single system and integrated system performance.

CEE 322: Data Analytics for Urban Systems
This course focuses on how to utilize statistical visualization and methods to perform exploratory, confirmatory and predictive analysis of data obtained from civil engineering systems, in domains such as energy and transportation. Topics covered include identifying what and if questions can be answered given a dataset, models of behavior, prediction of time-series and data cleansing. We will review basic methods for Exploratory Data Analysis, Confirmatory Data Analysis and Predictive Data Analysis and study models relevant to CEE applications. The material is presented via case studies and reviewed in weekly statistical lab assignments in R.

CEE 323D: Institutional Investors and Sustainable Capitalism Seminar
Pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, and other beneficial institutional investors control more than $100 trillion in investable assets. These funds may be beneficial in nature, they exist to secure a promised social benefit, but they are also the base of our modern capitalist system. They are responsible for funding industries that Stanford students will seek to work in (or with), such as venture capital, hedge funds, private equity, or other professional investors. As such, if we are to unlock financial capital to fund meaningful solutions to societies problems, such as climate change, these investors must allocate capital to these projects. But few people understand why these organizations exist, how they operate or invest, and what the implications of their decisions are for society and the planet. This course aims to equip the Stanford community with a deep understanding of beneficial institutional investors. The course will be given in a seminar format and be broken down into three modules: 1) Why beneficial investors exist; 2) How they invest their capital; and 3) How their investing affects the sustainability of modern capitalism.

CEE 326: Autonomous Vehicles Studio
Autonomous vehicles have been a fast-growing area of interest for research, development, and commercialization. This interdisciplinary research-based class explores the design and development of autonomous vehicles. Research teams will study the interaction of the human driver and autonomous driving system, particularly in dangerous situations of autonomous systems failures. Collaborate with national and international experts. Independent and team projects will contribute to ongoing research. May be repeated for credit.

CEE 327: Construction Robotics
Advances in technologies, such as sensing, positioning, and computing, combined with Building Information Models (BIM) enable the use of robots in unstructured environments like construction. Class sessions contrast the development of construction robots with manufacturing robots, showcase the application of construction robots to at least ten tasks, such as drilling, painting, layout, bricklaying, etc., and introduce the Robotics Evaluation Framework (REF). The small-group class project carried out with industry partners applies the REF to compare the health and safety, quality, schedule, and cost performance of robotic and traditional construction methods.

CEE 329: Artificial Intelligence Applications in the AEC Industry
Through weekly lectures given by prominent researchers, practicing professionals, and entrepreneurs, this class will examine important industry problems and critically assess corresponding AI directions in both academia and industry. Students will gain an understanding of how AI can be used to provide solutions in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry and asses the technology, feasibility, and corresponding implementation effort. Students are expected to participate actively in the lectures and discussions, submit triweekly reflection writings, and present their own evaluation of existing solutions. Enrollment limited to 12 students.
