CEE Undergraduate Weekly (4.29.22)

Hello CEE Majors–

There is a lot coming up over the next couple of weeks so we wanted to touch base to make sure you are prepared for AUT22 Registration. Please read through this entire email.

Graduating Seniors

If you are graduating in SPR22, your refreshed degree audit should show that “all requirements are met if in progress courses are completed” and your graduation date at the top of your audit should read: SPR 2022. If your audit is showing that you are missing requirements or you do not see your graduation date listed, please let us know ASAP. Also, the RSVP for the CEE Graduation Celebration and additional details will be sent out soon!

AUT22 Registration

• AUT22 Registration is just around the corner with Period I starting on Friday, May 6th.
• The AUT22 time schedule is now up so if you have not started planning, now’s the time!

• Please keep in mind that all CEE course offered in AY 2022-23 can be found here: CEE Projected Course Offerings.
• If you are interested in courses outside of CEE in WIN23 or SUM23, you will need to contact the department in question directly to find out when they are offered.

• ***CEE graduate level courses are available to undergrads with instructor and adviser permission***

Rising Seniors

• • Hopefully you have attended our Faculty Mentoring Sessions over the last few weeks. The last session with the Environmental/Hydrology Faculty is happening tomorrow, Fri, 4/29 – 1230pm in More 221. (see the attached document to prepare for the session)
  • Now is also the time to start planning out your senior year and locking in your Technical Electives and E&S Electives.  To help with this, we’ve attached our senior year planning process to this email. Please take a look, add the courses you want to take into your MyPlan and let us know if you have any questions or want us to look over it for you.

Rising Juniors

Students who will have completed/will complete all prerequisites by the end of summer quarter should register for 300-level CEE courses in the fall. (see the Jr. year prerequisite courses marked with arrows on the BSCE/BSENVE degree sheets)

You will be registering for these courses on your own!

• BSENVE Majors: The 300-level BSENVE courses are pre-arranged for the academic year as outlined in the Sample 4-year plan on the BSENVE degree sheet. The non-CEE classes on the sample schedule are suggestions. To identify which additional courses to take, we recommend running a fresh degree audit to identify your outstanding graduation requirements.  Your schedule may look different from the sample due to course availability, course conflicts, or need.

• BSCE Majors: The 300-level BSCE courses are pre-arranged for the academic year in “tracks”  (Track 1 or Track 2) as outlined in the Sample 4-year plan on the BSCE degree sheet.

You will need to self-select either Track 1 or Track 2. The two tracks consist of the same 8 courses, staggered to maximize our lab space. When choosing a track you may choose the track with the classes you are most excited to take or the track with the schedule that works best for you.

• • • You can select either Track 1 or Track 2, but once you select a track, you must stay with that track’s courses for the entire academic year. This is important in order to avoid time conflicts with required courses in future quarters.

• • • When registering for your CEE 3XX track courses, please carefully read the notes listed under each lab section (see online Time Schedule).  It is extremely important that you register for sections approved for your track. (We closely monitor who has registered for which track so that we can maximize enrollment and minimize time conflicts for all.)

• • • If you are “off-Track” or are missing prerequisite courses to start the 300-level CEE courses in the fall, please meet with a CEE advisor to develop an individualized academic plan.

• • • Important:   Enter your Track courses for the year on MyPlan (available via MyUW).

CEE Undergraduate Student Guide

• Please take a moment to review the Undergraduate Student Guide as it has important information that will help you navigate through the academic degree requirements, University policies, regulations, and procedures.

As always, make sure to keep your eye on the  Ugrad News Blog to keep up on job opportunities, internships, scholarships and other events/info sessions

CEE Undergraduate Weekly (4.20.22)

Hello CEE Majors,

We hope everyone is doing well. Things have been pretty quiet on our end in terms of student traffic so we assume the quarter is going well but if you need to talk, we are here for you.

One item that we are a bit concerned about is the attendance at the Senior Year Faculty Mentoring Sessions. We held two sessions on Monday (Hydrology and Transportation) and had a TOTAL of 10 students attend.

These sessions are your one formal chance during the academic year to receive mentoring directly from your CEE Faculty members. This is an opportunity to ask them questions relating to recommend courses, employment prospects, and how to navigate your CEE Degree and your interest area(s).

We have two sessions today and two next week so I hope you all plan to attend. Even if the area is not your #1 interest area, you will likely pick up some valuable information. I’ve included our mentoring session prep/expectations document as well as our Senior year planning document to this email. Please take a look at them in preparation and we will see you today at the sessions!

Hello Students.

You will see these sessions advertised to seniors in preparation for their Fall Quarter 2022 registration, but I HIGHLY encourage sophomores and anyone else interested to attend. This message is about the session advertised as a “CESI Senior Mentor Session”.

WHAT: Faculty that teach/research construction, energy, and sustainable infrastructure (CESI) courses will talk and answer questions about their area of instruction for coursework, career advice, jobs, internships and more. Specifics:

• What courses the CESI faculty teach and what they address
• Other departmental courses you might be interested in if you like construction, energy, or sustainability
• Internship and JOB advice and prospects in these areas (we know what students get internships/jobs where)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• Rising seniors. Definitely. You have many elective courses to pick next year and you can also start thinking about jobs.

Hello CEE Majors-

We will have limited advising capacity during finals week and spring break and will not be holding drop-in hours over spring break.

If you’d like to speak with an adviser, please email ceadvice@uw.edu with your name, ID number, your availability, and a summary of your concerns/questions.

We also wanted to provide you with a few reminders/notices to keep in mind as you prepare for finals and head out for spring break:

Mental Health Resources

During times of added stress, it is important to maintain proactive self-care (get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated, practice stress reliving techniques, etc.) and UW has many resources available to you.

If you have questions about any of the resources below, believe they might be of value to you, or you’d like a referral, please let us know.
