Hello all,
The EAC has a wonderful opportunity for our rising junior and senior Engineering students wanting to positively impact our sophomore and incoming freshmen Engineering students. We’re looking for 4 to 6 self-driven students to become EAC Peer Tutors to start the beginning of Spring ’25. In this role, they will provide academic support, mentorship, and support the development of EAC programming. It’s also anticipated that this new group of EAC Tutors will help us welcome students into our new spaces in the IEB when it opens.
The positions will be open until filled and review of applications is ongoing.
Applications now being accepted on Handshake at EAC Tutor Job # 9486020
Hi all,
Applications for the Undergraduate Research Symposium is now open, which will take place on Friday, May 16, 2025.
Students may present their research as a research poster or a 10-minute oral research presentation. Applications and additional information can be found here. The deadline to apply is Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
This is our second year having a designated partnership with the Office of Undergraduate Research! This year, all College of Engineering students will self-identify the Area of Impact their research addresses.This will be a great way for students to showcase the interdisciplinary nature of their research as well as support ENGRUD students who are exploring different majors.
Hi All,
I just found out about a few environmental career events that may be of interest.
I imagine you are in the loop via handshake but if not, here you go!
See the College of the Environment Career Services Calendar for more events/details.
Hello Students,
ASHRAE is hosting a VRF lab tour in Bellevue at Airrep. We just got confirmation so it’s a little short notice. The trip is scheduled for Monday Jan 20th 9-3. You will be chartered on a bus and provided lunch.
Dear CEE Community,
This week’s environment and Water Program seminar will be given by Shahzaib Khan, a final-year PhD student in Hydrology. Shahzaib will present his irrigation advisory system for managing surface water resources efficiently while provide reliable crop water.
Time and location: Thursday (1/16): 3:30, More 230.
Title: How We Can Optimize Surface Water Irrigation Systems Through Satellite Remote Sensing
Abstract:
In this study, we present a comprehensive framework specifically designed for water providers. The proposed irrigation advisory system aims to manage surface water resources efficiently, by identifying the water-deficit and water-surplus regions, to support robust irrigation practices amid changing climatic conditions. The framework employs satellite remote sensing-based Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) and Penman-Monteith evapotranspiration models to estimate the net water requirements of crops accurately. By integrating data from previous irrigation cycles, current and forecasted precipitation, and evapotranspiration-based water needs, the framework calculates the net water demand for various command areas within irrigation canal networks. The advisories generated on a weekly basis offer water providers data-driven insights, enabling them to make informed decisions about water allocation. These advisories quantify the specific water demands, thereby allowing for strategic Continue reading
Hello,
I’m a former 2020 grad of the civil engineering program at UW. I’d like to pass along internship and new graduate job opportunities my company is offering in their Federal Way, and Vancouver Washington locations. You can find the link to our career page below. All are welcome to apply regardless of concentration and I’d encourage anyone to apply for the internship regardless of class standing.
Mackay Sposito is primarily involved in land development, public works, and energy projects. Examples of our work are the Tehaleh master planned community in Bonney Lake, and the Main Street Promise in Vancouver. You can expect to be trained on the use of Civil3D for designing and drafting plans, stormwater modeling, report writing, and collaborating with other engineering firms.
Hi folks,
Please consider applying to be one of the College of Engineering’s Emerging Leaders in Engineering (ELE) for next academic year (AY 2025-26). We consider these to be VERY important positions of influence in getting new students aware of and interested in civil and environmental engineering. I would LOVE to see at least 20 departmental students apply for these spots. So long as your graduation date is Spring 2026 or later, you are eligible to apply. That means even if you are a sophomore or freshman right now, you can apply! This is a great way to give back to the community and do one of those memorable college things that are not required, but definitely rewarding.
Apply here: https://www.engr.washington.edu/student/leadership-programs
Applications are due January 20th, 2025

You can apply to any of these three types of ELEs:
In all cases, no previous experience is required. And, they pay you for doing these things!
Please consider doing this. We need YOU.
Dear students,
Please find below an invitation to a presentation by the co-founder (and myself) of a new organization called OpenMinds, focused on the dual challenge of increasing energy demand and the need to urgently decarbonize. This is a group of leaders from across sectors, but particularly in the energy sector and I’ve been enormously impressed and encouraged by their engagement in the issues and their agency to effect change.
Date: Jan 30
Time: 3:40 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Location: Founders Hall 170
Maya Tolstoy (Dean of the College of the Environment) & Frank Hodge (Dean of the Foster School of Business) invite you to an exclusive presentation with David Baldwin, founder of OpenMinds and Dean Tolstoy to discuss, “Accelerating Climate and Energy Progress”, and to explain what OpenMinds is doing to address the dual challenge of meeting increasing energy demand, while also addressing the urgent need to decarbonize. This is an incredible opportunity to engage directly with a leading voice in energy transition and climate action. A question and answer session will follow.
Please RSVP here.
