About APWA:
We provide opportunities to develop relationships with local professionals in the field of public works to understand not only future career opportunities but also get direct leads on employment! We also host resume reviews, networking sessions, and tours to public works sites like the UW Power Plant and SeaTac International Airport.

The field of public works is vast and includes all aspects of civil engineering, environmental science and engineering, construction management, and public administration. The Washington State chapter of APWA is the 3rd largest chapter in the country and is very active in education, advocacy, and networking. Membership in the UW Chapter is also free!

Dear CEE students, staff, postdocs and faculty,

Please join us for the first CEE Town Hall of this academic year, which will be held on Zoom from 4:00 – 5:00 on Wednesday Nov 30.

We’re continually working to make CEE into as welcoming and inclusive a community as we can. As part of this effort, we have been holding a Town Hall every quarter for the last two and a half years. The Town Hall is your opportunity to let the department know how things are going, provide suggestions for change and also hear about the actions the department is taking. Please join us!

Please note that only authenticated UW users can join the Zoom meeting. When joining the meeting, please make sure you are logged in with your UW NetID and password. Please also note that the Town Hall will be recorded. 

CEE DEI Town Hall – November 30, 4-5PM

Attention CEE Community,

Sign up by 11/23 ….

On Friday, 12/2 from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm, members of the CEE community will visit the Ash Grove Cement Plant (see attached fact sheet) and Stoneway Concrete batch plant that is “next door”. Concrete is the most commonly used building material in the world. This is a great opportunity to see the process used to manufacture cement, the primary ingredient in concrete, at Ash Grove and then walk next door to see the process used to design, proportion and mix concrete for a variety of projects (pavement, buildings, residential construction, etc.). If you would like to join the tour please sign up here (identify yourself as a CEE 337 student or CEE student or affiliate, as appropriate) by Wednesday, 11/23.

Hi All,

Please come join us today to hear about Dr. David Shean’s career story and how he uses satellite, airborne, UAV, and terrestrial remote sensing observations to understand the Earth’s cryosphere.!

Title: “Well, How Did I Get Here? (and where am I going)

When/where: Thursday (11/17), 3:30. Bagley Hall 154: Zoom link and program: http://depts.washington.edu/watersem/

Dr. Shean’s Short Bio:

David holds BSc and MSc degrees in Geology, Physics and Math from Brown University and a PhD from UW Earth and Space Sciences. David’s research involves the development and application of new methods to study dynamic Earth system components with real-world implications for water resources, sea level rise, and natural hazards. His current research uses satellite, airborne, UAV, and terrestrial remote sensing observations to understand the Earth’s cryosphere, with focus on mountain glaciers, seasonal snow, and ice sheets. Dr. Shean joined CEE in 2017 as an assistant professor, following his postdoc at UW’s Applied Physics Lab.

Hello Students,

This week’s CEE 500 speaker is our own David Shean. Dr. Shean will share his career story with us with examples from his research.

Attention,

Those of you who are interested in structural engineering may want to attend the Structural Engineers Foundation of Washington (SEFW) 12th annual Fall Forum on November 30th at 6pm. Details for this free event are in the attached flyer and press release! This year’s event is titled Focus on the Footprint: Making Strides in Building Sustainably.

Attention CEE Students,

On Friday, 12/2 from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm, 40 members of the CEE community will visit the Ash Grove Cement Plant (see attached fact sheet) and Stoneway Concrete batch plant that is “next door”. Concrete is the most commonly used building material in the world. This is a great opportunity to see the process used to manufacture cement, the primary ingredient in concrete, at Ash Grove and then walk next door to see the process used to design, proportion and mix concrete for a variety of projects (pavement, buildings, residential construction, etc.). CEE 337 students have the highest priority for seats on the bus – since they have spent the last 7 weeks learning about concrete behavior, mixing, construction and application; however, there will room for other students to join the tour. If you would like to join the tour please sign up here [signupgenius.com] as a “CEE student or affiliate”, by Wednesday, 11/23

Hi All,
