Bren 101 for MESM Students
Summary of MESM
Degree Requirements
• 81 units minimum
• Core courses (32.5 units)
• 401ABC (12 units) & group project
• An approved set of electives that develop strength in
one of Bren’s specialization area
– 36.5 units minimum
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Unit Load
• Grads are supposed to enroll in a min of 12 units
- No real consequence if at least 8 units though
• Bren students = 13.5/qtr on ave to meet 81 unit
requirement
• Generally, not recommended that you enroll in more
than 16 units
- Your graduate education also includes activities that don’t
result in units
- Ignore the myth that seems to be floating about Bren that
you should load up early!
•
Especially, do not load up in winter of 1st year
- You have important and time consuming career
development work to do (i.e. summer internship)
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Unit Load Fall ‘08
• 200 Orientation Case Study Course (0.5)
• 203 Earth System Science (4 units)
• 201 Ecology of Managed Ecosystems (4 units)
• 210 Business and the Environment (4 units)
• 251 Introduction to Policy Analysis (2 units)
• Total = 14.5
• Plus no-credit career workshop for 1st years
- Some sessions are required; others optional but highly recommended
• Plus no-credit stats workshop, if needed (probably most)
-
Meets for a total of approximately 12 hours

ESM 204: Economics of Env. Mgmt (4 units) [251 is prereq]
ESM 206A: Data Analysis/Stats (2 unit)
ESM 241: Environmental Politics and Policy (2 units)

ESM 401A: Group Project (4 units)
Total = 10 units
•
Under most circumstances, students are encouraged to and expected
to complete the core courses in their first year
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Core Course Deferrals
•
Deferral of a core course means you don’t take it until your 2nd year
•
The following are NOT deferrable
– ESM 251
– ESM 206AB
– ESM 401A
•
Deferral(s) are only recommended if your load will be too heavy
because you need to take electives for your specialization that are
only offered biennially
•
Policy document on deferrals and waivers on Bren web site at
services/academic and student affairs
•
Special Note: if you are going to pursue the eco-entrepreneurship
focus then you likely will have to defer ESM 201 or ESM 203 this
quarter… more on this in a bit
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Core Course
Deferrals con’t.
• Potential risks of deferring
– Must make sure that that you won’t lack prerequisites for
important elective classes for specialization
• e.g. defer 204 (econ) -> can’t take 245 (cost benefit)
• See prerequisite guide at academics/class schedule
– If you defer a core class and you don’t pass the class, you
won’t graduate; you will have to come back and re-take
the class (no exceptions)
– Class scheduling has to be done under the assumption that
all 1st years have completed core courses
• If you defer, the core course may be offered at the same time
as an elective you want to take next year
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Core Course Waivers
• Waiver of a core course means that you don’t have to take it
• You must make up units with another class(es)
• Not a lot of waivers approved BUT definitely pursue if
appropriate
• You already have a SUBSTANTIAL portion of the knowledge &
skills
• Some courses have waiver policy/procedures posted on web
(academics/courses)
• Your responsibility to contact professor and make
arrangements for evaluation
• If instructor approves, have him/her sign petition
• Special circumstance: since 207 is taught be a visitor, submit
a Bren School Petition to Laura

FAQ’s Related
to Registration, con’t.
• Approval Codes
– Required to register if:
• Course is restricted

Bren 101 for MESM Students
FAQ’s Related to
Registration con’t.
• What to do if GOLD says a Bren course is full
– If a course:
• Email scheduling@bren
• Staff will try to increase enrollment max and move room to
new location, if necessary, so you will be able to enroll
– If a section (i.e. one of a few discussions/labs for a course)
• Must enroll in another section; we have to balance sizes
• Only exception is if other classes that you are taking overlap
with all other sections
• In above case, email scheduling@bren and explain problem
(bearing in mind that staff can verify your schedule) and they
will give you an enrollment code so you can enroll in the full
section
– PS Sorry, not liking time not a valid reason
Bren 101 for MESM Students
FAQs Related to
Registration, con’t.
• You CAN NOT add a class using GOLD after the 3rd week
• Must submit a Registrar’s Schedule Adjustment Petition
Copies in the student mail room
Get instructor’s signature if possible (if not I’ll sign for them)
The only other signature you need is mine (graduate advisor)
Put in my mailbox in Dean’s suite or mail room and I’ll sign
and return to your mailbox
 Once signed, you turn it into the registrar


• Enrollment counts are frozen after 3rd week so it hurts us if
you don’t register by then
• PLEASE get your schedule settled before the end of 3rd week
(and you’ll never have to hassle one of these forms)
Bren 101 for MESM Students
FAQs Related to
Registration, con’t.
• Variable Unit Courses
– Courses that do not have a set number of units, which is
the same every time the course is offered
– Be careful to only register in the number of units listed on
the Bren schedule of classes!
– For example, ESM 299: Advanced Topics in Environmental
Science is set up as a variable unit class (2-4 units) to
accommodate a variety of topics and formats
– T his quarter, the specific offering of 299 (Advanced Topics:
River Restoration) is offered for 2 units only
• When GOLD queries you, only enter 2 units even though it
would let you enter more
– Note: non-variable units classes can not be variable
Bren 101 for MESM Students
FAQs Related to
Registration con’t.
• ESM 595 – Group Studies (Seminar Classes)
– Single letter courses are open to MESM and PhD (i.e. 595F)
– Double letter courses are only open to PhD (i.e. 595AA)
• MESMs can’t take without instructor approval
• Specialized research focus generally not appropriate for MESMs
– Only S/U Grading Option
• ESM 596 – Independent Research
– Requires completion of Bren School 596 Form and
instructor approval
– Submit petition to Student Affairs office prior to registration
– Must enter instructor code when you register
• List of codes on web at academics/class schedule
– Maximum of 4 units of ESM 596 can count toward unit total
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Registration Problems
• Guestimate: 20% of students have a registration
problem that they are not aware of including wrong
classes, wrong units, wrong grading option
– Check your schedule on GOLD before then end of the third
week!
– Check your schedule on GOLD before the last day of
classes!!
• NO CHANGES AFTER THE LAST DAY OF CLASSES
– Retroactive changes are huge hassle for us and you and
you run the risk that GRAD DIV won’t approve it
• Caution– faculty are not registration experts; check with
staff about anything out of ordinary
Bren 101 for MESM Students
The Top 2
Student Questions
(yep they relate to registration)
• Why won’t GOLD let me register for ESM XXX class?
• The answer depends on when you try during the quarter
– Before week 1
 Probably the class if full
 email scheduling@bren to see if enrollment can be increased
– Between week 1-3
 Answer: You must have an approval code
 Email scheduling
– After week 3
 You can’t do it using GOLD!; you need to submit an SAF
• Please try to remember these facts; help reduce the number
of times that the SA Staff has to answer these same questions
over and over and over
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Schedule of Classes
• Always use the schedule of classes (SOC) on the
Bren web site under academic program/class
schedule for Bren classes
• Never use the University’s printed schedule of
classes for info about Bren classes
– It is done so many months in advance it is
almost always not up-to-date (at least for Bren)
• Bren follows the Registrar’s Academic Calendar
(i.e. classes start when the registrar’s calendar
says they start) unless noted otherwise in the Bren
SOC
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Course Information
• Bren Course Descriptions
– On the Bren web site under academic programs/courses
• Course Descriptions for other Departments on Campus
– Explore departments websites and/or the University Catalog
• Undergrad course work
– Lower division can’t count toward graduate degree requirements
– Up to 8 units of upper division can count with approval by
specialization leader
• Bren Curriculum Plan for 2008-09
– On the Bren web site under academic programs/class schedule
– Not necessarily the final word--what is there is pretty firm unless
something extraordinary occurs but there may be some additions
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Books
• Only a few instructors still submit orders for books
through bookstore
• Most just recommend you purchase the books for the
class on line
• As scheduling@bren receives book info from faculty this
info is added to the book list for the quarter file on the
web (under academics/class schedule)
• Bren has a commitment to students to place two copies
of each required core course text in the periodical room
• Bren does not buy copies of books for electives classes
but will put donated copies or copies provided by the
publisher in the periodical room
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Syllabi & Course
Materials
• Most instructors have syllabi and course materials
posted on the Bren web (under
academics/courses/specific course number)
• Last year’s syllabus usually stays on web until new one
loaded; be careful that you are looking at current
syllabus
• University is in the process of switching to a course
management system called Moodle, however
• Our goal is to have all Bren courses on Moodle by winter
2009, not on the Bren website
• Some faculty will start this fall with Moodle and will give
you relevant instructions
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Grades
• UCSB uses standard A-F grading scale with +/• Core Courses
– University rule (that Bren must comply with) that you
must earn at least a “B” in all core course
• Elective Courses
– Only “C” or better counts toward degree requirements
• S/U or P/NP
– S/U for graduate classes; S = B or better
• Not much point in taking a grade class for S/U if it is offered
for a grade
– you have to get at least a B to pass and if you get a B- you won’t
earn credit
– P/NP for undergraduate classes; P = C or better
• If GPA < 3.0, Grad Div places you on probation
– If performance does not improve you can be dismissed
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Grades, con’t.
• Must take all courses that will count toward 81 unit min
requirement for a grade unless only offered as S/U or
P/NP
• Let me repeat that in another way (since this question
is verging on being a FAQ)…if a course is only offered
S/U or P/NP then you have no choice but to take it that
way, so it WILL count toward unit requirement
• Undergrad course work
– Lower division (< 100) can’t count toward graduate degree
requirements
– Up to 8 units of upper division (> 100) can count with
approval by specialization leader
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Grades, con’t.
• Incomplete (“I”)
– Must file form before last day of classes
– Must have good reason
– Grade submitted when work completed and replaces “I”
• No Grade (NG) or No Record (NR)
– May have on transcript temporarily if instructor does not submit
grades before reporting deadline
• No need to worry; goes away once grades are submitted and we make
sure they are
– Will receive if “I” submitted by instructor but no paperwork
submitted
– Permanently turns into “F” “U” or “NP” if not rectified by the end
of following quarter
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Academic Conduct
• The University has standards for academic conduct
and Bren expects students to uphold and adhere to
these standards fully
• Guidance document on academic integrity on the
Bren web at services/ASA
• We are required to report known instances of
inappropriate academic conduct and there can be
dire consequences
• It is YOUR responsibility to have 100% academic
integrity; it is not the instructors’ responsibility to make
sure you do by setting up deterrents and obstacles to
limit or prevent dishonestly
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Acts of Academic Dishonesty
1) Cheating
– Obvious, right?
– What about working together when not allowed? Not following
rules governing group work (i.e.can only work in pairs)? Asking
your 2nd year MESM roommate about a question on the take home
exam?
2) Collusion
– Helps others engage in academic dishonesty or willingly allows it
to occur
– There is no distinction between those who cheat and plagiarize
and those who willingly allow it to occur
3) Plagiarism
– Make sure you thoroughly understand what this means
– Increasing incidents suggest that many students are unclear
– Carefully review guidance document and the writing tip
referenced in the document (Services/ASA)
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Class Scheduling
• Winter schedule posted; spring coming soon
• If you see a mistake or problem, email scheduling@bren
• Have to overlap some classes; try to choose those that are
less likely to be of interest to the same students; we spend A
LOT of time trying to create optimal scheduling
• Generally no classes on Fridays except classes with special
schedules, labs, field trips, workshops
• We welcome odd schedules if they allow good opportunities
• Weekends are fair game if this is the only way we can bring
you a good educational opportunity
• Some classes don’t begin until mid-quarter (e.g. ESM 251 this
quarter
• Some classes taught in intensive format (e.g. every day for
week)
• Be warned ESM 207 in spring will be intensive (probably two
4-day periods) and will include weekends!
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Special
Circumstances
•
“3-year program”
– For those that have circumstances that make it hard
to be in school full-time+
– Just take a lighter load (i.e. ~8-10/quarter)
– We can advise you what would be best to take now
and what to take larger
– Start group project in 2nd year not 1st
– Fee/tuition etc the same price no matter how many
units you take so if you take longer it will cost more
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Special
Circumstances, con’t
•
“Early Graduation”
– Policy document at: Services/ASA
– Not recommended or encouraged
• Workload too heavy and too little time to fully participate in the noncourse part of your education
– Possible if all requirements are satisfied at the end of winter
quarter of 2nd year
– However, students must complete an adequate program of study
(POS) for their specialization
– Often not be possible within 5 quarters since some classes are
offered biennially in spring
– POS must be academically sound and will not be approved solely
to enable and accommodate early graduation
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Specializations
• MESM students must develop depth in one of six specialization
areas
– CMRM: Coastal Marine Resource Management (Lenihan & Costello)
– CP: Conservation Planning (Davis & Kendall)
– CEM: Corporate Environmental Management (Geyer & Libecap)
– PEE: Political Economy of the Environment (Anderson & Young)
– PPR Pollution Prevention & Remediation (Trish Holden)
– WRM: Water Resources Mgmt (Dunne & Tague)
• Faculty specialization leaders for 1st years noted in bold
• Not sure what do specialize in?
– You need to figure this out soon!
– Attend specialization info meetings noted on orientation schedule
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Eco-Entrepreneurship
(EE) Focus
• Students may add to any of the specializations a focus on ecoentrepreneurship
– Attend info meeting next Tuesday (9/22), 430 pm, BH 1424
– EE Advisor = Gary Libecap
• For students who are interested in learning how to develop
business plans to launch new technologies, products or
practices that address important environmental or natural
resources problems
• A joint initiative between Bren and the Technology
Management Program in the School of Engineering
• Unless you are CEM*, you may have to take a few more units
than the 81 minimum required for the MESM to have both an
acceptable POS for your specialization and satisfy the EE
requirement
*EE electives serve as acceptable CEM electives
Bren 101 for MESM Students
EE con’t.
•
EE Focus requires completion of 4 classes (12 units) AND
development of a Business Plan AND participation in the TMP
Business Plan Competition
– ESM 274: Competitive Advantage Strategies for Environmental Innovation
(4 units)
– ENGR 291A: Entrepreneurial Marketing (2 units)
– ESM 291B: New Venture Finance (2 units)
– ENGR 285B: New Venture Creation: Entrepreneurship (4 units)
OR
– ENGR 285D: Business Planning for New Technology Ventures (4 units)
•
The EE curriculum matches the requirements to earn a certificate in
Graduate Program in Management Practice (GPMP) with two
exceptions
– If you want to earn the certificate, you must also take
• ENGR 285A: Art of CEO: Business Skills for Future Leaders (4 units)
• ENGR 285E: Managing Innovation (4 units)
Bren 101 for MESM Students
EE, con’t.
• Must take this fall:
– ENGR 285B: New Venture Creation (4 units)
• M/W 8-950 pm; HFH 1104
OR
– ENGR 285D: Developing New Products for Market Success
(4 units)
• M 530-820; Phelp 3523
• This will give you a heavy load, probably too heavy
– If so, defer ESM 201 or ESM 203
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Program of
Study (POS)
• An individual curriculum plan for developing depth in
your area of specialization
• Complete a Class of 2010 POS Form
– On the web at services/ASA
– Must be approved by the specialization leader
– Must be submitted to Grad Advisor in winter quarter the
end of the 4th week of classes
– Can be modified with approval (multiple times )
• May include classes in other departments
• Can you double specialize?
– Yes, if you POS is approved by both specialization leaders
and builds adequate depth in both areas
– Not the norm and not necessarily better than just one
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Creating Your POS
•
Guided by the specialization description
– On the web academics/MESM
– An advisement and guidance document
– Does not dictate the POS precisely
– Students in the same specialization will different POS’s depending upon
their unique background, interests, and goals
•
Sample programs of study on web
•
Your POS form will not will not be a precise list of classes but a
sensible set of possibilities
•
Detailed explanation and instructions on the web at Services/ASA

How to Prepare Your Program of Study
Will schedule help session in early winter if a number of you want it
(as communicated to gradasst@bren)
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Group Projects
• All students are required to complete a group
project
• As part of this, you enroll in ESM 401ABC
starting Spr ‘09 (4,4,4 units)
• ESM 401A includes formal class meetings
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Group Projects
• Primary contacts
– Amy Burgard, Staff, Academic Programs Coordinator
(projects@bren)
– Christina Tague, Faculty, Chair of the Group Project
Committee & Instructor for ESM 401A
• Group project pre-kickoff
• Nov 3; 1230-145; BH 1414
• Focus will be on student preparation of group
project proposals, which needs to start in fall
quarter
• Project proposals due late Jan (exact date TBA)
• Optional– you don’t have to prepare a proposal
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Why Propose or Not?
• You want to work on a project in specific area
• You have a research question that you want to work on and
that fits the criteria for a Bren Group Project
• You want to interact with someone or some organization
• You want the experience of writing a proposal
• You want to have greater control over your GP destiny
-Student proposers of accepted project are guaranteed spot on
project (up to two per project)
• Project selection is a competitive process (just like the realword) whereby a committee of faculty and students select
“best”
• If you prepare and submit a proposal, your project may not
be picked
• However, student initiated proposals are valued and they
have a bit of an edge
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Group Project
Info Sources
• On the web at research/group projects
– Last year’s info on submitting a suggestion
• This year’s to be posted soon
– Last year’s project proposals
– Library of final group project reports and policy briefs
• Group project guidelines (on web at
services/ASA)
– Updated version for your class provided when you
start your project
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Group Project Selection
• Group project selection committee formed in fall, which
includes 3-4 students
• Proposal evaluation/selection in winter qtr
• Group assignments end of winter quarter
– Students given 100 points to allocate to projects (no more
than 80 points per project)
– Optimization routine determines optimal grouping of
students based on revealed preferences based on point
allocation
• Group project kickoff meeting first week of spring qtr
– Focus is everything you need to know in order to get your
project done and done well
Bren 101 for MESM Students
Group Project Timeline
• Prepare project proposal and work plan spring quarter and
hold a proposal defense meeting with advisors and
stakeholders
• Group project defense in mid-winter
– Critical evaluation of the project much like a thesis or
dissertation defense.
– Revise final report to address questions and criticisms
communicated during defense
– Might be beneficial to attend a few this year to gain
understanding of what to expect and what’s expected of you
• Final report, policy brief, and draft presentation due at the end
of winter quarter
• Grades assigned winter quarter (therefore groups MUST be
done)
• Group project public presentations usually 1st week of spring
quarter (oral and poster)
Bren 101 for MESM Students
MESM Advisors
• MESM students don’t have an advisor
• MESM not like an academic research degree in which your
work with a particular faculty member who guides your
education
• MESM students have
– Group project advisor
– Specialization leader (SL)
• Must approve program of study
– Another faculty member(s) from whom you seek advise if you
wish
• Can help you craft your initial POS but only SL can approve
• It is expected that you will manage your education well and
develop relationships with faculty and seek their academic and
career development advise
– Be proactive; take initiative!
Bren 101 for MESM Students

stronger skills in the context of your assignment (which will probably help
you get it done)`
– Not an editing service
– Writing Center staff also send out writing tips over email and hold noncredit workshops
– Website contains useful writing resources
•

– Dozier 1/2-2/3 time throughout year, 2008-10
Bren 101 for MESM Students
“Ladder Track” Faculty
• Calibrate your expectations of faculty appropriately
– This a research University so faculty must invest a fair
amount of their time in this regard
• This is partly what makes UCSB/Bren a premier institution and
a degree from here so valuable
• Faculty Recruitment 2008-09
– Corporate Environmental Management
– Empirical Social Science
– Energy and Resource Productivity
– Ecotoxicology?
