Required courses (Plan I and II)
Take three of:
- CE 218A Air Quality Engineering (3 units; Fall semester)
- CE 256 Transportation Sustainability (3 units; Fall semester)
- CE 268E Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (3 units; Fall semester)
- CE 295 Data Science in Energy (3 units; Spring semester)
CE = CIVENG
If ECIC students are interested in a seminar series, the CE 298-006 Energy Engineering Seminar is recommended. Fall only; room-shared with E 93 Energy Engineering Seminar; Wednesdays 12-1 pm; 1 unit.
Courses from Core Areas (Plan I and II)
Take at least 9 units from the 3 core areas below (a course is typically 3 units), but no more than 6-7 units in any one area can be counted towards the 9 unit requirement. Of course, beyond the 9 units, you can take as many of these courses as you can fit into your schedule. The courses are either offered in the fall or the spring semester, but not both.
