All CEE Majors: CEE Senior Year Planning w/worksheets

Posted on by

Hello CEE Majors –

It’s never too early to start planning for your senior year and your CEE 4XX coursework. In fact, planning your Technical Electives and Engineering & Science Electives will shed some light on your sophomore/junior plan as well.

(The BSCE/BSENVE sophomore and junior years are similar for most students so please use the BSCE/BSENVE degree sheets to help with your planning and course sequencing.)

The BSCE/BSENVE senior year, on the other hand, gives you almost complete control of the courses you take and the process outlined in the attachment can help you decide how to satisfy your Technical Elective and Engineering & Science Elective requirements.

Attached to this email you will find 3 documents to help with your planning:

  1. BSCE-BSENVE Senior Year Planning Process
  2. BSCE Senior Planning Worksheet
  3. BSENVE Senior Planning Worksheet

[CEE Undergrads] CEE 457 Registration in WIN22

Posted on by

Hi CEE Students,

We’ve had a few questions about the prerequisite course for CEE 457: Advanced Structures.

Currently, the prerequisite is listed as CEE 456. This is the same course as CEE 378, we have just updated the course number. If you have taken CEE 378, you have completed the prerequisites for Advanced Structures.

We still need to update the course catalog to reflect this, so if you have any issues registering for CEE 457 due to the prerequisite change, please submit an add code request at https://tinyurl.com/ceeaddcoderequest.

Happy registration!

Check Out CEE 453/CESG 522 for WIN22

Posted on by
Professor John Stanton is teaching CEE 453: Prestressed Concrete Design (SLN 11959) this winter. This course is also offered at the graduate level as CESG 522: Analysis and Design of Prestressed Concrete (SLN 11974). If you’re a senior interested in taking this class, and have completed the CEE 452 prereq, sign up for either the undergraduate or graduate section.
Undergrads may apply up to 6 credits of graduate level coursework to a Master’s degree as long as they are not also using those credits toward their undergrad degree. If you are looking to apply to the UW Master’s program in structural engineering, this may be an option worth considering.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this option with an adviser, feel free to send us an email or schedule an advising appointment.

Two classes this autumn that may be of interest.

AUT 2021: L ARCH 498C / GH 490/590– Interdisciplinary Frameworks for Health, Ecology and the Built Environment

Autumn 2021 | Thursdays 4:30 – 5:50 p.m. | Gould 208J
1 credit | SLN: 23703
Instructors: Coco AlarcÓn, Rebecca Bachman

What is the built environment? What is ecology? What is public health? What frameworks stem from these fields, and how have they been integrated to take a critical, holistic approach to complex problems facing our world? This seminar explores frameworks stemming from disciplines of the built environment, ecology, and public health/global health and the ways that they have been integrated throughout history. Students are familiarized with practical applications of interdisciplinary frameworks through exposure to current projects of researchers and professionals.
