Posted on by

This is an invitation to come to a departmental event where we are hosting a group of freshmen (undecided) engineering students. I would like people from our own department to attend because the purpose of the event is for these freshmen to interact with students actually in the department – to find out what it’s like and ask questions. This event will feature three of our own: Mo Malakoutian (CEE 220 GOAT instructor), Kim Tsai (BSCE 2016), and Jorge Riancho (BSCE 2023). They will talk about things you can do with a civil engineering degree that are NOT civil engineering.

What: Beyond Engineering – Use your engineering degree to do whatever you want!

When: Wednesday, May 24th, 2023 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.

Where: Maple Hall Great Room

Food: Free Pizza!

Bonus: Introducing Engineering Rome 2024

Volunteer & Class Opportunity: Protect Birds on Campus!

Posted on by

Hello!

My name is Anya Gavrylko, and I am a research assistant for the Bird Friendly UW project, a CSF funded effort to reduce bird collisions on campus. The project is based around UW’s campus and monitors bird collisions with buildings in order to support our long term goal of finding design based solutions and identifying which species in our area are most vulnerable to collisions.

To carry out this research our project needs student volunteers to walk collision monitoring routes for one 90-minute shift a week. Volunteering with us is a great way for students to practice bird identification and engage with urban wildlife, while also gaining experience in a research setting. Next quarter we will also be offering a class, ARCH 499: Conservation Design – Preventing Bird Building Collisions (Meeting Time: Wednesdays 6:30 – 8 PM) for students interested in learning more about preventing bird collisions, sustainable architecture, and urban conservation efforts.

You can also learn more about our project on our website.
