SEF Grant

Dear Engineering Faculty and Staff Members,     

The Structural Engineers Foundation (SEF) is proud to offer a grant to partially fund research efforts in structural engineering or related fields for the 2024-2025 academic year.  The SEF recognizes the importance of research to the future of the structural engineering field and profession and offers this grant to assist in a selected research endeavor.  The offered grant is a one-time, fixed sum of $3,000.

Please make sure your outstanding engineering students are aware of this program. Grant applications must be received by December 30, 2024. Winners will be notified by February 14, 2025.

The SEF was established in late 1993 in recognition of the 75th birthday of the Structural Engineering Act of Illinois.  It was set up to provide financial support for the educational and charitable activities of the structural engineering profession, including items like scholarships, honoraria for lecturers, and research grants.  The Foundation is funded by individual engineers, engineering firms, and other businesses and organizations associated with engineering and construction.  SEF is recognized as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization by the Internal Revenue Service and contributions are tax-deductible within the limits prescribed by tax laws.

Engineering Abroad Programs Open: Summer 2025

Hello Students,

I wanted to send an update on the first wave of CoE study abroad programs opening for Summer 2025. Students that are interested should keep an eye out for other programs opening soon! Programs led by UW faculty and any engineering programs taking place in “early fall” (September term) are not yet open. 

Newly open programs include:

Keep in mind that it’s also possible to attend a non-engineering program in the summer. For a list of upcoming UW programs, see this page. This list is also being updated as more programs open.
