Hello Students.

You will see these sessions advertised to seniors in preparation for their Fall Quarter 2022 registration, but I HIGHLY encourage sophomores and anyone else interested to attend. This message is about the session advertised as a “CESI Senior Mentor Session”.

WHAT: Faculty that teach/research construction, energy, and sustainable infrastructure (CESI) courses will talk and answer questions about their area of instruction for coursework, career advice, jobs, internships and more. Specifics:

• What courses the CESI faculty teach and what they address
• Other departmental courses you might be interested in if you like construction, energy, or sustainability
• Internship and JOB advice and prospects in these areas (we know what students get internships/jobs where)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• Rising seniors. Definitely. You have many elective courses to pick next year and you can also start thinking about jobs.

CEE Undergraduate Weekly (3.9.2022)

Hello CEE Majors-

We will have limited advising capacity during finals week and spring break and will not be holding drop-in hours over spring break.

If you’d like to speak with an adviser, please email ceadvice@uw.edu with your name, ID number, your availability, and a summary of your concerns/questions.

We also wanted to provide you with a few reminders/notices to keep in mind as you prepare for finals and head out for spring break:

Mental Health Resources

During times of added stress, it is important to maintain proactive self-care (get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated, practice stress reliving techniques, etc.) and UW has many resources available to you.

If you have questions about any of the resources below, believe they might be of value to you, or you’d like a referral, please let us know.

CEE Undergraduate Weekly (2.23.2022)

Hello CEE Majors –

We have a few items to share with you this week including CEE projected courses for AY 22-23, Sr. year planning help & SPR22 registration (see attachments), mental health resources, the FE Exam and Letters of Recommendations (something everyone will need!) :

CEE Projected Courses for AY 22-23

The CEE Projected Course list for Academic Year 2022-23 is now posted online: https://www.ce.washington.edu/current/curriculum/undergrad

One important update we want to share is that CEE 420: Engineering with Developing Communities is not planned to be offered in AY 22-23.

In fact, if you were planning on a course that is not listed on the AY 22-23 projected course list, you should plan a replacement course. (A solid replacement for CEE 420 could be CEE 498: Engineering, Environment & Justice which will also satisfy the Diversity requirement.)

Senior Year Planning

We’ve also included our senior year planning instructions and worksheets as an attachment to this email….these resources are intended to be engaging for all CEE majors, regardless of class standing.
