The UW Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering works with private and public organizations to solve real-world challenges in areas like infrastructure, transportation and environmental sustainability. These partnerships connect organizations with faculty expertise, cutting-edge research and student talent to create meaningful, lasting impact.
Ways to engage
Connect with students
Participate in CEE's annual Career Fair in late autumn to connect with students and recent graduates seeking internships and jobs. To recruit talent, email ceadvice@uw.edu or post on the UW’s online job search system. You can also, present to classes or student clubs about your work, or host site visits to showcase engineering in action. Contact ceadvice@uw.edu for more information.
Collaborate with researchers
Partner with faculty on groundbreaking research through gifts and sponsored research collaboration. Work with CEE's research centers to promote innovative research, education and outreach activities on areas like transportation, water resources, natural hazards and supply chain logistics.
Sponsor a senior capstone project
Provide our students with real-world experience by sponsoring a senior capstone project. You'll get to collaborate with a dedicated group of students on a focused design/build project over two terms.
Access state-of-the-art engineering labs and facilities
Explore our research facilities that offer specialized equipment for a variety of needs, from industry members performing tests on new structural systems to investigators collecting data following natural disasters.
Participate in CEE endowed lectures
Attend one of UW CEE’s annual endowed lectures, where experts, alumni, students and faculty come together to explore topics at the forefront of civil and environmental engineering and connect with the broader community.
Make a gift
Support what you are most passionate about, including including our two giving priorities: CEE Facilities Improvement Fund and CEE Strategic Support Fund. For other options like, establishing new endowed scholarships, fellowships and professorships, contact Kaitlin Colleary at kaitcoll@uw.edu and Emily Thurston at ethurs@uw.edu.
