Students,
Last summer two UW students participated in the summer research experience for undergraduates (REU) program at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (www.rmbl.org). While most of the focus in biology, there are also projects focused on water and hydrology (including one to work with my research group), so CEE and EnvE students are encouraged to apply.
Hi University of Washington Students,
Hope you had a great holiday! I’m reaching out to invite all students at University of Washington to attend our Hiring for Hydro, happening in Seattle, WA. If you could please share this fantastic opportunity with your students, it would be greatly appreciated. Applications are now open!
The link to apply is here: https://forms.gle/Lq4VsnqF3CMib4Dw8
Hiring for Hydro offers several key features to help you make the most of this event:
Who Should Attend?
This event suits a wide range of students and disciplines, including those enthusiastic about energy, engineering, hydropower, project management, and environmental science. Additionally, trade students specializing in welding, machining, operations, and related fields will find valuable opportunities in the hydropower sector. Continue reading
Dear CEE friends,
This Wednesday (12/4), the CEE Graduate Student Advisory Board (GSAB) will be hosting the 2nd Work From Campus (WFC) event for the academic year, and we would love for you all to join us.
These WFC events, graciously funded by the department, are open to everyone affiliated with the CEE department (student, researchers, staff & faculty) and are meant to build a deeper sense of community within the department.
Kindly stop by MOR 110 between 10 AM – 12 PM to get a fresh brew, pick up some pastries, fresh fruits, protein bars, and hopefully stay for some low-stakes interaction.
We encourage you to come along with your own coffee mug, as we strive to cut down on our single-use waste.
Hope to see you all there!
TL;DR,
Who: You.
What: Grab free breakfast with the CEE community.
Where: MOR 110.
When: 10 AM – 12 noon, Wednesday, December 4.
Hello adviser list!
I hope you’re well and looking forward to a restful holiday.
I’ve collected some upcoming study abroad info sessions for programs that are open to engineering students in any major (or ENGRUDs). Some of these sessions take place as soon as next week.
SUMMER A 2025 – Engineering Japan: Exploring in the Heart of High-Tech (ENGR 296)
“Designed for freshmen and sophomores majoring in science and engineering (STEM) fields. Students will be given insight into the needs of world society based on advanced science and technology of the future. The program will offer cutting-edge classes in next-generation science and engineering with a focus on contributing to society through research.”
SUMMER A 2025 – Engineering Spain: Manufacturing Systems and Analysis (IND E 315 and 337, W credit)
“Designed for students who want to do a Summer A term in Spain while fulfilling a Writing credit. While ISE students will be fulfilling the INDE 315 and 337 requirements in Leon, Spain, other Engineering students can request permission to use this course to fulfill a technical elective. Students in this program will tour manufacturing facilities in and near Leon, Spain. Students will get to see first-hand the manufacturing principles taught in class.”
Hello CEE Undergrads,
I hope you all had a safe and restful holiday weekend.
My name is Marina Bydalek (she/her), and I wanted to introduce myself as the new Undergraduate Academic Adviser for the CEE department! Some of you may have known my predecessor, Lauren Lanum, who previously held this role.
Originally from northern California, I moved to Seattle three years ago to attend graduate school here at the UW. After I graduated, I worked in advising administration at Seattle University, but I just couldn’t stay away from this beautiful campus, so here I am again ✨ When I’m not working, you can find me doing embroidery or crochet, cuddling with my dog Laika, or accidentally killing yet another houseplant.
I will be advising for both the BSCE and BSENVE programs, but until I finish training, you may see me shadowing appointments with Brian. You can continue to send your questions to ceadvice@uw.edu and Brian or I will get back to you.
To celebrate the end of the quarter and provide some extra energy for finals, we’d love to see you at the CEE Fuel for Finals event: Continue reading
Hello,
We are excited to announce that applications open Sunday, December 15th, 2024 for the Clean Energy Bridge to Research (CEBR) Summer Program!
Clean Energy Bridge to Research (CEBR) is a summer program supported by the University of Washington (UW) Clean Energy Institute (CEI), and local partners. The CEBR undergraduate research program supports a select group of undergraduates, community college students, and tribal college students to participate in authentic research in solar, energy storage, grid technologies, and systems integration under the mentorship of UW’s world-class faculty and grad students. Prior research experience is not expected! For more information on the program and how to apply, please visit:
https://www.cei.washington.edu/education/undergraduate-students/reu/
Applications are due February 15th, 2025. Please note applications will not be reviewed until after the application closing date, February 15th.
For questions or concerns, please contact CEIApps@uw.edu Continue reading
Hi All,
As briefly mentioned during yesterday’s adviser meeting, we’re offering two sections our career course ENGR 160 winter quarter. This course is intended for students who have been placed in their majors but are not yet enrolled in major coursework. This will also be a good course for first-year students who remain unclear about their major choices or other students who are unclear about their career pathways.
ENGR 160 “Engineering Career Fundamentals” is a 2-credit (CR/NC) course that dives into the principles and practices that will allow students to take their college experience and lay a foundation for a rewarding career. They will gain a complete understanding of how their coursework and activities play a vital role in landing internships and jobs. They’ll also learn how to write a great resume, prepare for an interview, effectively network and much more.
Student questions can be directed to: engrhire@uw.edu
Section B – Wednesday afternoons
12:30 – 2:20
SLN: 14523
Section D – Thursday afternoons
12:30 – 2:20
SLN: 14524
Students,
This may be a good opportunity to practice your hydrology, coding and GIS skills.
Position: Hourly Student Position
Project: EarthLab Project: Fish, Fire, Food, and Floodplains: Healing Place and People
Overview:
We are seeking an hourly student position with strong coding skills (python and/or R) to assist with our EarthLab-funded project, Fish, Fire, Food, and Floodplains: Healing Place and People, led by Dr. Monika Moskal in the SEFS Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Lab. This project, co-developed with the Klamath Tribes and Applegate Forestry, addresses the interconnected challenges in the Upper Klamath Basin in south-central Oregon. Critical issues such as water shortages, toxic algae, endangered sucker fish, vulnerable salmon, and habitat degradation threaten the resilience of the ecosystem and the communities dependent on it. The project aims to inventory incised channels on the Klamath Reservation, enhance water quality and storage by reconnecting streams and floodplains, and strengthen ecosystem and community resilience to climate change through targeted restoration efforts.
Approach:
The student will work as part of a team to run existing modelling tools to meet these project goals. Methods include using recently acquired Lidar data to predict wetland locations and to run hydrologic flow models to identify streams and rivers as well as stream depth. This combined approach will help identify potential restoration sites and quantify the disconnect between streams and wetland floodplains.
Key Responsibilities:
