UW College of Engineering Advising

Formula SAE is a global competition hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) where students design, build, and test a formula-style racing car, then compete against teams from around the globe.

At UW, we build an all-electric vehicle for competition. Everything is designed in house, and nearly everything is built in house, including machined parts, carbon fiber pieces, and tractive systems. This is an excellent opportunity to apply what you are learning in the classroom and experience more than what lectures can offer.

If building a racecar interests you, please fill out the form here: https://uwformula.com/apply

We accept people from all majors, both undergrad and graduate. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at [email protected].

We look forward to hearing from you!

This is a unique opportunity to study abroad for ten days (December 9th to the 19th) in Beijing, China to culminate a Summer or Fall quarter course exploring sustainability and personal choices (ENVIR 239. Sustainability: Personal Choices, Broad Impacts). ENVIR 239 is a broad introduction to sustainability, including foci on consumption, waste, food, water, and energy. An exciting component of this course is that students engage in experiential activities, monitoring or changing their sustainability behavior and then reflecting on that change through the dual lenses of academic material and personal experience.

Throughout the Fall quarter, we will explore sustainability through lecture, reading, discussion, writing, experiential activities, and collaborative work with Tsinghua University students in Beijing. Sustainability is a vital and timely topic and an interactive sustainability class lends itself well to discussion among students at partner universities on two continents. In this course, we will examine environmental challenges and the broader social, cultural and economic systems that gave rise to those problems, and how both the challenges and the potential solutions differ in the U.S. and China.
The culminating trip to Beijing is designed to promote connection and conversation between the Chinese and U.S. students while we experience Beijing through the lens of sustainability. How does this city feed itself, take care of its waste, and provide energy and water to its citizens? How does this compare to Seattle and what does this suggest about the ability of each city, each country, and the globe to continue to meet its needs in future generations? As China and the U.S. are key contributors to planetary unsustainability, understanding the sustainability challenges in these two countries is particularly necessary. Of course, while in Bejing, we will also learn about Chinese culture and history and take field trips to The Great Wall and The Forbidden City.
We hope to recruit a broad range of undergraduate students interested in exploring sustainability, and the differences in sustainability challenges and solutions in the U.S. and China. Undergraduate students from all class years and all majors are invited to join us and a diversity of majors will make this a stronger cohort of students. We are excited about the opportunity to recruit students into this shorter study abroad experience who would otherwise be unable to participate in a study abroad opportunity, potentially increasing access to the incredible learning that can come through study abroad.
COST: 1650$ (does not include airfare) but there are a number of full scholarships available for Pell-Grant and Husky-Promise eligible students!

The Civil & Environmental Engineering department has decided to offer CEE 220 Mechanics of Materials this summer, provided there is enough interest. (We don’t have a time determined yet, but at this time, we are considering MTW 8:30-9:30 lecture, with a 2-hour lab on Thursday afternoon, say noon – 2:10pm. This should avoid conflict in the summer with other critical classes, such as ME 230 and AA 260).

For those interested in CEE 220 in summer quarter: complete the following online form now to receive updates and notification when the course is posted on the summer Time Schedule: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQqb3QD-7FgKVpZqyXAzRBj_B9zIjpSKXQtd_wJkdUPgaBDw/viewform.

Best,
