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)

Hello all,

We wanted to inform you of a recent update regarding the scheduling CEE367 Geotechnical Engineering for the upcoming Spring 2024.

We have adjusted the timing for one of the lab sessions for CEE367. The new lab schedule will be T 130-320 and W 1030-1220. We believe this modification will allow you to enroll in CEE367 without overlapping with other required courses.

If you have any questions regarding this time change or any other matter related to your academic schedule, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you!

** This email is for all ENV E juniors! ** It was recently brought to our attention that CEE 356: Quantitative and Conceptual Tools for Sustainability conflicted with AA 260: Thermodynamics, which many of you still need to take, in Spring 2024. To get around this conflict, we’ve moved the time for CEE 356 to MW 1:30-3:20. The new time should allow you to take CEE 356 without overlapping with other required courses. If you have any questions or concerns about this time change, please let us know.

We hope you are doing well as midterms begin, 

We are posting to hopefully gain your insight on the CEE 440 Professional Practice course. We’re completely revamping CEE 440 Professional Practice to potentially become a very different course. As we take on this transformation, we’re aware that there are numerous aspects to consider, but we can’t cover everything. That’s where you come in – we want your input on what matters most to you. 

Please fill out this form so we can work towards building a course that suits you and your needs. Thank you in advance for all your feedback!

War in the Middle East: JSIS Winter Course and Speaker Series

Students,

During Winter term, the Jackson School is running both a public lecture series and a 2-credit course to provide opportunities for substantive, thoughtful, compassionate engagement with the devastating events unfolding in the Middle East. Details can be found below, and flyers for both the lecture series and the 400-level course are attached.

I want to thank the many people in JSIS who have spearheaded this effort, including Danny Hoffman (Director of the Jackson School), Mike Ahuvia (Director of the Stroum Center), Reşat Kasaba (Professor and previous Director of JSIS), and the many staff members instrumental for making these events possible. I also thank President Cauce and Dean Harris for their support of these events.

As we hope for peace in the new year, let us work collectively to bring our professional knowledge, disciplinary training, and intellectual skills to create meaningful opportunities for engagement and support for all members of the UW community, especially our students, and also for those who turn to the university in search of insight as we grapple with the violence, trauma, anger, and fear of the past months. This is a worthwhile resolution for the new year.
