Engineering Study Abroad Info Session: RSVP for Monday, November 21st @4pm

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

As promised, I come bearing an RSVP for the study abroad info session we will be holding on Monday, November 21st from 4-5pm in the Maple Hall Great Room. Please encourage your students to RSVP if they attend! Food will be provided.

I will discuss the basics of study abroad: types of engineering abroad program, how to find them, how to apply, and what advising conversations to have before making the decision. I will also highlight a few programs of interest with approaching due dates. A big theme of the session will be to plan ahead, so students are encouraged to come even if they aren’t certain yet that study abroad is for them!

Let me know if you have any questions about this event in the meantime.

Opportunity to visit the Ash Grove Cement Plant and Stoneway Concrete in south Seattle on 12/2

Posted on by

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
