CEE Industry Capstone Pitches (two projects)

Hi Again,

Please see the link below for pitches for the two BHC consultants industry capstone projects hosted by the Chemical Engineering Dept (though with great CEE relevance). The two pitches are from 23:30-33:30 (the link should automatically start at the right time).

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vSOWWxf7UjYu1hzKo3TqrIpMMiyYWXhg/view?usp=sharing&t=1412

Note, in future years we hope to do a similar pitch session in our department, but it is one of the things we couldn’t arrange in our first try at this. I know this doesn’t help your cohort, I am sorry about that.

Cheers,

Richard

ENGR 160 Winter Quarter

Hi CEE students,

CEE 498: Energy Infrastructure – 1 Credit Course AUT25

Hi CEE students,

Julian Yamaura will be teaching a 4 to 5 week long, 1-credit course on energy infrastructure this fall. Please see below for more information about CEE 498 E – Energy Infrastructure: Energy Infrastructure Types, Fuels, and Use. This course is intended for seniors in the CEE program. 

CEE 498 E (SLN 23779; 1-Credit) – This course introduces students to the foundations of global and regional energy systems. Over four to five weeks, students will explore the electric grid, fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and a range of renewable technologies—including solar, wind, and enhanced geothermal systems—while also examining the growing energy demands of data centers and emerging innovations like fusion. Through technical briefs, in-class discussions, and group presentations, students will gain insight into the costs, permitting challenges, and construction timelines that shape energy infrastructure. 

SUM25 Technical Elective: CEE 452-Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Hello CEE Undergrads –

CEE 452: Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures is being offered this summer at UW.

The course has been approved as a Distance Learning class – so there are no in-person classes, all lectures are recorded.  Exams are also taken remotely – but must be completed in a specific 24 hour period.

The intention of the class is to accommodate internship and work obligations. 

As many of you have commented, AUT25 has many available technical electives and getting CEE 452 done over the summer can really help open up your options in AUT25.

Please take a look at the attached syllabus for more details.

Looking for W credit? Philosophy has that covered this summer!

Students,

Philosophy is offering a wide range of small classes this summer that will help develop your writing skills while pondering some interesting questions. The classes are in person and limited to no more than 25 students.

PHIL 100 – Introduction to Philosophy

A term Daily 9:40-11:50

sln: 12946

SSc and W

What can we know?  Is the mind immaterial?  Does God exist?  Can we be certain of anything?  What do you think?

PHIL 100 – Introduction to Philosophy

B term Daily 10:50 –1:00

sln: 12947

SSc and W

 Should we fear death? Do we have free will? What role does work play in our lives? What makes science different from non-science? These are just a few questions we will ask in this course as we explore four different topics: death, freedom, work, and science, each of which is relevant to our everyday lives.

PHIL 102 A – Contemporary Moral Problems

A term Daily 12:00-2:10

sln: 12948

A&H or SSc and W

Every day, we observe, read about, and find ourselves involved in moral conflicts. How do we interact with people who, to us, have completely inacceptable views about right and wrong? Does free speech mean that we can say and post everything? If not, where are its limits? What obligations do we have to ourselves, and what kind of obligations do we have to others? Where do they come from? Do all our actions have to be justified? If so, to whom? Why are there women’s rights, but no men’s rights? Is there such a thing as goodness and badness when it comes to interacting with others? Do we have responsibilities towards nonhuman beings? Continue reading

Promoting CMS Summer Course

Hello!

I’m reaching out to promote my hybrid summer undergraduate course, CMS 240 A: YouTube Criticism, or How We Write About Social Media. It’s a great way for students to fulfill a writing credit or contribute to required credits outside of their major.


Course description—
Despite their ubiquity, we often fail to see beyond the surface of social media platforms. Perhaps we see them as a natural part of twenty-first century life, or perhaps we do not want to jeopardize the immediate comfort they sometimes offer us in our chaotic world. Today, it is more important than ever to challenge our assumptions about the digital networks that structure our lives, and to learn how to clearly articulate our ideas and beliefs about them. This course will challenge you to both take seriously your own personal experiences with social media and push you to think beyond them. We will engage a range of methodologies from Production Studies to Media Philosophy to explore questions such as, what are different ways to study and understand social media? How are platforms structured and regulated and by whom? and how do social media figure into beliefs about the power of digital communications technologies more broadly? By the end of this course, you will be able to integrate a variety of approaches to the study social media in a piece of critical, argumentative writing about a research topic of your choice. Although we will examine several platforms and associated technologies, we will always return to YouTube as our primary object of focus for our analyses. Drawing upon contemporary scholarship and YouTube content itself, we will nuance our understanding of the intersections between media, technology, and society. (Please note that this course is hybrid. All assignments can be completed remotely. In-class lectures will be recorded and posted to Canvas.)
