Hello Students,

Summer registration opens on April 11th, and students can sign up for either/both of the hybrid intro to business courses below:

ESRM 320 (SLN 11465, Summer Quarter Term A), Marketing and Management From a Sustainability Perspective:

This course has NO prerequisites and gives NW and I&S credit (course website is at https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1556899). It explores two of the four primary business foundations, marketing and management. Learning objectives include:

• Explain marketing, management, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability.
• Describe how markets are segmented, targeted, and products positioned to satisfy consumers’ needs and wants.
• Compare techniques for creating value-added products; valuing environmental and social externalities and managing traditional pricing; developing distribution strategies and “greening” the supply chain; and creating and implementing promotion campaigns.
• Define managerial and leadership styles and theories of motivation.
• Summarize the human resource process of recruiting, interviewing, hiring, training, motivating, and evaluating employees.

Hi CEE Undergrads,

If you’re looking to fill a slot in your SPR22 schedule, there are still spots available in ESRM 190! More details below:

There are still open spots for undergraduate students in ESRM190 Digital Earth – https://sdb.admin.uw.edu/timeschd/uwnetid/sln.asp?QTRYR=SPR+2022&SLN=14491

The Tuesday & Thursday lectures and labs are on-line recorded for asynchronous learning. There are no course requirements to enroll in the course. The course is: 5 credits = 2 lecture credits + 3 lab credits. This course does not have a traditional exam.  This course serves as an alternative pathway to introduce a diverse group of students to Geospatial Sciences through addressing large scale problems by using big data from global to local levels across a full spectrum of environmental applications. The knowledge and skills developed in this course can be taken and applied to many fields.

The objectives of this class are:

Hello CEE Majors,

We wanted to let you know that CEE 420: Engineering with Developing Communities will now be offered next year in Spring 2023!

The 22-23 CEE projected course list is now up so you can use it to start planning your next academic year’s CEE courses.

If you are a Junior that was hoping to get into CEE 420 in SPR22 (but aren’t registered yet), please plan to take it in SPR23 as the course is already overloaded.

Hello,

The department of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies has a number of I&S/DIV courses in SPR22 that may be of interest.

These courses are open to all students and do not have prerequisites.

GWSS 290A: Special Topics in Women Studies: Black Foodways

Course description: While there is scholarly work that focuses on food justice issues, this course attends to those materials that are specifically engaging with discourses of race, gender and sexuality—that center the experiences of Black women and queer people, and that frame their work using Black feminist theories and methods. What Black feminist strategies re-organize the food geographies of our environment? How can the tools and frameworks of Black feminism help us interact with food differently? With restaurants? With grocery stores? With the land? How can mapping Black foodways change our experiences of the city we reside in? This course will examine the origins and practices of Black foodways in the United States using texts through academic and nonacademic writers. We will critically interrogate food as a sociocultural medium and a signifier of personal identity while exploring the often overlooked contributions of Black people to the current American culinary landscape.

Instructor: Keila Taylor

Hello CEE Students,

Take a look at BIOEN 485/585 (syllabus attached) offered in SPR22 – it may be of interest to some of you!

CEE Juniors (Rising Seniors) –

We’ve received a number of questions recently about CEE 378: Structural Analysis in SPR22.

As stated on the structures senior year planning page, CEE 378 is essential for students interested in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering and should be taken during spring quarter of your Junior Year. CEE 378 will also be a prerequisite for the SPR22 Structures/Geotech Capstone. CEE 378 will also count toward your Structures Area Technical Elective requirement.

Please see Professor Berman’s note about the course and how it relates to Structures & Geotechnical Engineering and the associated capstone:

“CEE 378 is both an introduction to structural analysis concepts used to determine forces in statically indeterminate structures and is an introduction to lateral loads (earthquakes and wind) and lateral load resisting systems. So, the class will be VERY helpful for all senior year classes. The class is of practical importance as during the capstone, structural and geotechnical engineering students will design a structure and its foundation. This requires an understanding of the concepts covered in CEE 378. Taking 378 and the capstone concurrently will not be sufficient and will make the capstone a struggle. The class is of fundamental importance as it focuses on developing a deep understanding of how structures (i.e. things that carry load such as buildings, aircraft, machinery) behave, and the extension to statically indeterminate structures is a significant added value beyond earlier courses you have taken. The topics covered in the class are very powerful, and by the end of the class you will be able to analyze complex structures, calculate earthquake and wind loads, and have a background in the systems and their design used to resist those lateral forces. We are currently working on making CEE 378 a prerequisite for the structures/geotech capstone but for now it is very strongly recommended.”

Please let us know if you have any questions and if you are considering it, CEE 378: Structural Analysis in SPR22 will be a great class to take.
