Students,

We would like to inform you of an upcoming course for SPR25 that may be of interest to you:

URBAN 480 – Planning as a Profession

Meet and interact with professional planners from the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Hear firsthand about the experiences of post graduation, current projects, and lessons learned in the process. Learn about skills needed for each representative field of planning while exploring possible career paths.

For more information contact David Blum at: blumedw@uw.edu

URBAN 480 Spring 2025 Flyer

Dear CEE Students,

Please find attached a flyer for our undergraduate planning studio in Spring quarter 2025 now titled URBAN 407. We will have a number of useful projects in our studio which may be of interest to you.

Please note that this course used to be titled CEP 498 and has now been retitled URBAN 407.

Students,

ENV H 405 Toxics and Human Health

https://sdb.admin.uw.edu/timeschd/uwnetid/sln.asp?QTRYR=SPR+2025&SLN=14256

Prerequisite: a minimum grade of 2.0 in BIOL 220; and a minimum grade of 2.0 in either CHEM 220, CHEM 224, CHEM 238, or CHEM 336.

In ENV H 405, you’ll explore the intricate world of toxicology, gaining a deep understanding of how chemicals impact human and environmental health. From fundamental principles like dose-response relationships to pressing topics such as cancer, birth defects, and occupational hazards, you’ll explore the real-world implications of toxic exposure. Through engaging lectures and assignments, you’ll equip yourself with the knowledge and tools to advocate for a healthier future for all. This course is open to students in all majors, and is one of the core requirements for the Environmental Public Health major.

Hi All,

For anyone interested in the spring capstone focused on geotechnical engineering and geomatics, the course is listed as a second section of CEE442 (Structures and Geotech Capstone). The first section offered by Prof. Lehman is more heavily focused on structural engineering, whereas the second session offered by myself and David Shean is more focused on geotechnical engineering. Also, please note that the official listing is TTH 330-450, but I will attempt to unofficially find a time that works best for all those enrolled. It could, for example, be earlier on TTH afternoon, when I believe most seniors will be free.

If you have any questions, please reach out!

Dear grad and undergrad students, 

This winter I’m teaching CEE 481: Hydraulic Design for Environmental Engineers. The class is built on concepts of urban hydrology and fluid mechanics to design storm water, waste water, and green infrastructure using software developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We also cover design of pump and pipe systems, culverts, and detention ponds. 

Class flyer is attached. If you have any questions, please email me: erkan@uw.edu.

All,

I am teaching a new class this winter: CEE 498B Sustainable Construction. This course comes mostly from the research I have done over the last 5-10 years in this field. It’s got a lot of guest speakers, we work with environmental product declarations for pavement materials, we read a book (I know, right?!?!), and we do it all in an intimate setting with not that many students.

There is room for you in this course whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student. Right now there are a few spots open and I can open a few more if needed. Take a look at the attached promo slides if you want to know more.

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

ENGR 160 A

Section B – Wednesday afternoons

12:30 – 2:20

SLN: 14523

Section D – Thursday afternoons

12:30 – 2:20

SLN: 14524

Students,

Seats are still available in two of the most unique and exciting courses of the quarter! Both taught by Jason Young, senior research scientist with the Technology and Social Change Group at the UW Information School, these two courses are complementary and an excellent introduction to the Arctic region, its peoples, and their impact on international relations and current events.

ARCTIC 200: Indigenous Diplomacies and International Relations in the Arctic (5 credits)

When: Tuesdays/Thursdays, 12:30-2:20pm

Where: GLD room 435

Taught by Jason Young, senior research scientist with the Technology and Social Change Group at the UW Information School, this course emphasizes perspectives of the region’s Indigenous peoples. The Arctic provides an important case study for understanding international relations, given the complexity of geopolitical issues and the strong presence of Indigenous peoples in the region. Introduces Indigenous peoples, languages, and ways of thinking. Continue reading →

Dear undergraduate Engineering Students,

• This option is intended for students whose summer 2024 internship extends into autumn 2024 or for students starting and completing an internship in autumn quarter. Internships cannot extend beyond December 31st, 2024
• Course fee will continue be $210 per CR
• ENGR 320 will be permanently retired after AU 2024

If you would like to pursue earning ENGR 320 credit for your internship, please email engrint@uw.edu with “ENGR 320” in the subject line

• Include your full name and student number in the email
• Include how many CR ENGR 320 you are requesting

Please email engrint@uw.edu if you have any questions

Students,

We have space available in a class being offered this autumn quarter that I think would be of interest to engineering majors. The course is EE 397: Sex and Gender in Engineering (SLN 14184), a 3 credit diversity class open to all students within the College of Engineering and has no prerequisites.

I have attached a course flyer with more information.
