At Stanford University, E3 Managing Partner Ren Orans, Chief Scientist Jim Williams, and Affiliate Joel Swisher co-taught a winter semester course on electric utility planning in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. This unique, first-time course drew 35 graduate students, who learned about planning from experienced experts, and worked together in small groups to conduct their semester projects: complete integrated resource plans for utilities in the western U.S.
