SUMMER A 2025 – Engineering Spain: Manufacturing Systems and Analysis (IND E 315 and 337, W credit)

“Designed for students who want to do a Summer A term in Spain while fulfilling a Writing credit.  While ISE students will be fulfilling the INDE 315 and 337 requirements in Leon, Spain, other Engineering students can request permission to use this course to fulfill a technical elective. Students in this program will tour manufacturing facilities in and near Leon, Spain. Students will get to see first-hand the manufacturing principles taught in class.”

• Friday, December 6^th4-5pm (MEB 106)
• Monday, December 16^th7-8pm (Zoom, see flyer for details)

Students,

The Regeneration Field Institute is a 70 acre regenerative agroforestry operation and bamboo design and construction training center. Our research center works to develop and showcase a replicable model of regenerating ecosystems that inspires land-use change in the environmentally degraded and deforested regions around the world.

Bamboo Construction & Environmental Restoration in Ecuador

Immerse yourself in the beautiful biodiversity and culture of Manabi, Ecuador! Get hands-on experience designing and building with bamboo, practicing regenerative agriculture and studying environmentally regenerative work.

Hosted by: Regeneration Field Institute (www.regenerationfieldinstitute.com)

Dates: June 14-23, 2025

Location: Manabi, Ecuador (specifically Chone and Bahia de Caraquez), an environmentally degraded region of the world

Cost: $1800 plus airfare and insurance

Program Details: This course offers immersive, experiential learning to cover topics on post disaster construction, environmental design, sustainable architecture and engineering, regenerative agriculture, ecosystem restoration, wildlife conservation, biological diversity, agriculture, agroforestry, social and environmental impact and enterprises, natural resource management and more. You will learn from local field experts, get to build bamboo structures with your hands to support local communities, and be surrounded by the biodiversity and beauty of natural, native Ecuador which RFI is working to protect, regenerate, and preserve.

Hello Students,

I wanted to send an update on the first wave of CoE study abroad programs opening for Summer 2025. Students that are interested should keep an eye out for other programs opening soon! Programs led by UW faculty and any engineering programs taking place in “early fall” (September term) are not yet open. 

Newly open programs include:

• Arcadia Abroad KCL Summer Biomedical Research Program in London (full Summer quarter)
• Exchange with Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (full Summer quarter)
• ISAE Aviation/Aerospace Summer Program in France (Summer A)
• Nagoya University Summer Intensive Program (NUSIP) in Japan (Summer A)
• Summer University at TU Berlin (dates vary by sessions selected – Summer A, Summer B, or full Summer)
• Technical University of Denmark Summer Chemical Engineering Lab Program (Summer A)

Keep in mind that it’s also possible to attend a non-engineering program in the summer. For a list of upcoming UW programs, see this page. This list is also being updated as more programs open.

Hello CEE community!

There is a study abroad opportunity hosted by Wildlands Studies for any interested CivE or EnvE students. This organization facilitates field studies for students interested in finding solutions to environmental challenges. Some programs offered include marine ecology, rainforest ecology, mountain ecology, and mixed ecosystems. 

The upcoming student information session will be on Tuesday (4/23) at 4 pm in Winkenwerder room 107.

Please refer to the information and flyer below for any further details.

Wildlands Studies & UWashington Info Session Flyer Spring 2024

ANNOUNCEMENT: FIELD STUDY OPPORTUNITIES!

Wildlands Studies field programs provide students the opportunity to join backcountry study teams as working field associates, studying environmental impact assessment, environmental policy, geologic, climatic, and topographic factors that support various habitats, and the relationships between environments and culture. Each program earns 5 or 15 units of upper-division credit! FAFSA Financial Aid and scholarships can apply towards funding our programs. Program teams consist of 10-16 undergraduates from all over North America. Students can choose different wildlife, wildland, and cultural ecology field studies locations that are all searching for solutions to environmental challenges. Wildlands offers programs focusing on marine ecology, rainforest ecology, mountain ecology, and mixed ecosystems. Continue reading →

Dear CEE students,

Grand Challenges Impact Lab (GCIL) is recruiting students for Study Abroad in India in Winter 2025. Please apply!

GCIL-India offers hands-on, project-based learning about Grand Challenges and social innovation. GCIL meets the CEE capstone requirement and the CEE 440 2cr Professional Practice class; remaining credits count as CEE technical electives.

Information:

GCIL includes a 1-credit Autumn-quarter course in Seattle, and a 10-week, 15-credit Winter-quarter course (January – March) in Bangalore, India.

The program cost is approximately $6,500. For many UW students, this is less expensive than if you stay in Seattle. UW Study Abroad offers substantial scholarships. If you have financial aid at UW, it generally applies to study abroad.

GCIL is open to junior and senior undergraduate students and graduate students from any discipline. Applications are due soon — in May (approximately May 15) via the UW Study Abroad website.
