The Environmental Engineering graduate students, research staff, faculty and their family and significant others celebrated Thanksgiving together with a potluck dinner on November 18 at Berkeley's Northbrae Community Church.
More than 100 people in the Env. Eng. community attended. The dinner was the first ever Thanksgiving event for many international students.
Env. Eng.'s Thanksgiving potluck has been a tradition for more than 15 years!
Professor William Nazaroff, along with CEE alumni, Dr. Brett Singer (CE PhD '98) and Dr. Glenn Morrison (CE PhD '99), share insights about indoor air pollution in "Every Breath You Take" (Chemistry World, published by the UK Royal Society of Chemistry).
Today, in the developed world, people spend on average of 90% of their time in buildings or vehicles. And the health effects of the air we breathe indoors are just beginning to be understood.
Branko Kerkez (CE PhD '12) and Dan Work (CE PhD '10) were selected as NAE Gilbreth Lecturers this year. Both will make presentations on their research at NAE's annual meeting.
The Gilbreth Lectures were established to recognize outstanding young American engineers.
CEE Professor and Institute for Transportation Studies Director, Alexandre Bayen, is interviewed in a CBS KPIX segment on Bay Area Traffic.
“Demand has risen so much in California, that, in a sense, we have reached capacity. We can’t build more freeway lanes, we can’t build double-deckers, it’s just not possible,” said Bayen.
“Ultimately, one has to regulate traffic,” said Bayen. “The reason people use the road so much is because the road is free.”
CEE MS student Daniel Gaspar Rodriguez volunteered with the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center to be part of the engineering response team in the post-earthquake field investigations of the Mexico City Earthquake (Sept.19 2017 | M=7.1).
The Berkeley team collaborated with engineering response teams from the Colegio de Ingenieros de Mexico, Degenkolb Engineers, and the Colombian Earthquake Engineering Research Network (CEER).
BTE has an immediate opening for a full time professional in its Folsom, CA office. BTE provides stimulating, professional challenges, professional development opportunities, competitive compensation and benefits. BTE is a specialty consulting engineering firm located in Folsom, CA that has spent over 20 years focusing 100% on the design of pipeline projects using trenchless construction methods. Trenchless construction involves installation of utility pipelines using various tunneling and boring methods to limit impacts to sensitive features, such as roads, waterways, and existing structures. The firm specializes in all aspects of design, including feasibility studies, full design services, and construction management services. The candidate will work in the Folsom office and at various project field locations.

autonomous transportation technologies.
A Civil Engineering Assistant is responsible for the following essential functions: prepares plans, specifications and cost estimates for minor flood control or road maintenance projects such as retaining walls, parking lots and similar projects utilizing commonly used software applications and specialized engineering software applications such as Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD); assists in field investigations and studies and in the preparation of preliminary and final plans, specifications, and cost estimates for a variety of construction and maintenance engineering projects such as drainage and wastewater systems, dams, mountain roads, highways, street lighting and water distribution systems, debris basins, storm drains, spreading grounds, and other flood control and water conservation facilities; performs calculations requiring knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, calculus, elementary mechanics, strength of materials, statics, geodesy, and structural analysis; assists in conducting hydraulic and hydrologic studies to determine design criteria and operational requirements for flood control and water conservation structures; compiles data for and assists in making studies or tests relating to the location, size and capacity of other engineering structures or facilities; and assists in the review portions of plans for engineering structures prepared by other public agencies or by private firms to determine if they conform to department standards and practices and sound engineering principles.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is seeking visionary individuals who are integrating structural engineering, resilient infrastructure, fluid-structure interactions, and structural informatics and machine learning to address the sustainable infrastructure challenges of the 21st century. Our department seeks to enhance its integrative research and educational programs. We are especially interested in candidates with a background in fluid-structural interactions, structural informatics and machine learning, multiscale modeling, multi-disciplinary optimization, and dynamics and controls. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for a full-time tenuretrack faculty appointment with an anticipated start date of Fall 2018. The rank of Assistant Professor is targeted, but all ranks will be considered. Applicants are expected to have a doctoral degree in Structural Engineering or related discipline.
