Dear CEE Students,

The University of Washington has established a Transportation Visioning Committee as part of their ongoing efforts to enhance transportation programs on campus. Given the pivotal role of transportation in global sustainability, economic growth, and the future careers of CEE students, the committee members are keen to incorporate student insights into shaping the future of transportation education at UW.

To this end, the committee has developed a survey that will take approximately 8-10 minutes to complete. They would greatly appreciate it if you could participate. The deadline for responses is 11:59 PM on June 3, 2024.

Request for Student Participation in CEE Academic Program Review

Posted on by
Reply

Dear CEE Students,

This year our department is going through a process called academic program review which occurs at least once per decade. Periodic academic program review is required by university policy and the university’s accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). The review process also provides our department an opportunity to reflect on strengths, challenges, aspirations, and strategic planning. The primary objective of the review is an assessment of the academic and educational quality of the unit.

The program review consists of two major parts: a self-study and a site visit. The self-study has already been completed and submitted. This message is about the site visit, which will take place on April 29-30.

During the site visit, the review committee will meet with members from the CEE community to hear about program strengths, challenges, and aspirations. You are invited to participate. We have already submitted the site visit agenda, which includes meeting times for students to meet with the committee. We know that not everyone will be able to participate during their allocated time slot, which is fine, but we do want to ensure that we have active participation from the CEE community.

Hi CEE Majors,

We just made a canvas post with instructions for registering and planning for SPR24 classes. We had some IT issues with our canvas page last week, so if you aren’t able to access it, please let us know! In the meantime, the post is duplicated below – let us know if you have any questions !

————————————————-

This week’s post is all about preparing for SPR24 registration, which begins on Friday, February 9. There is a lot of information here, so please make sure to review everything.

SPR24 Registration & Planning

The SPR24 time schedule is now live, and Period I registration begins on Friday, February 9. If you’re unsure of your registration date, you can check it here or on your MyUW portal. When planning, reference the Current Undergraduate Student Page for degree requirements and projected course offerings in CEE.

SPR24 Notices:

SPR24 Course Cancellation: CEE 490 Air Pollution Control

Posted on by
Reply

Hello,

We just received notice that CEE 490: Air Pollution Control (4cr) is likely to be cancelled in SPR24.

There is still an outside chance it will be offered but for planning purposes with registration right around the corner, you should find an alternate class to take.

CEE 490 is one of the only 4cr Technical Electives so if this cancellation leaves your plan 1cr shy of TE or E&S Electives, please let us know asap so we can help you find a solution ceadvice@uw.edu.

One option would be to take CEE 480: Air Quality Modeling (3cr) and add a 1cr CEE 499 Independent Study to make up for the lost credit.

Some other classes that may be of interest are our CEE 498 offerings:

  • CEE 498: Building Energy and Habitability (3cr, Reed)
  • CEE 498: Transportation Energy and Sustainability (3cr, MacKenzie)
