From the very inception of the University of California, its founders made it clear that Civil Engineering (CE) was key to the growth and prosperity of the young state of California. The faculty and graduates of the currently named Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department have proved them right, building a world-leading program at UC Berkeley and a legacy of achievement in California and beyond. This historical summary records some of the people, places, and chronology of the early history of CEE at Berkeley.
The UC Berkeley Center for Smart Infrastructure (CSI) hosted a visit by the California Energy Commission (CEC) on Monday, October 7. CSI co-directors Kenichi Soga and Matt DeJong provided a guided tour for Pooya Khodaparast, CEC’s Commission Agreement Manager (CAM) on the OpenSRA 2 project.
