Engineering Study Abroad to Jordan: “Water in an Arid Land”  (Early Fall 2013)

The UW CEE department is offering a study abroad intensive short-course in water engineering (CEE498, 5 credits), which will take place on-location in Jordan during the Early Fall term (Aug 24 – Sept 21).

Following the great success of the 2012 UW-Jordan study abroad course, the CEE department is again sponsoring this study abroad (exploration seminar) course to examine water resources in an arid setting.  Water is a scarce commodity.  Jordan is ranked among the 10 most water-scarce nations in the world, and will serve as the backdrop for learning about water and wastewater treatment  in a water-scarce region.  The course focuses on the current and historic water resources in Jordan, drinking water treatment and distribution in Jordan including the impacts of elevated temperatures and desalination, treatment of concentrated wastewater including efforts for safe reuse, and plans in Jordan for meeting future challenges.  The course is designed for juniors, seniors, and graduate students in CEE; students from many other disciplines may also be interested. Financial aid is available for eligible students.

Course work is in English.  There is no language pre-requisite.

Information about last year’s program can be found at: http://courses.washington.edu/cejordan

CEE 409/509 ENGINEERING ROME UW STUDY ABROAD EXPLORATION SEMINAR for 2013

Engineering Rome is a UW Exploration Seminar that covers Roman and Italian engineering over a range of 3,000 years from Ancient Rome to the present day. It consists of one 5-credit course, CEE 409/509 Engineering Rome, that takes place in two sessions. First, a once-per-week orientation session meets in Spring 2013 to provide background information, and program orientation. Second, an in-depth session meets in Rome, Italy at the UW Rome Center for three weeks during the 2013 Summer-Fall quarter break (28 August to 18 September 2013). To obtain credit for the course students are required to be registered for and attend both sessions.

Program Content

This program relies on its proximity to over 3,000 years of cutting-edge engineering in the heart of Rome. It provides engineering students or those interested in engineering a unique international and historical perspective on the engineering practice and its contributions to society. Rome is one of the richest sites in the world for exploring engineering through the ages from ancient Roman aqueducts, to Baroque basilicas, to modern subways, to sustainable life in a massive modern city. Students, will interact with local experts on Roman cities, archeology, construction, infrastructure and sustainability. Students will develop skills that allow them to analyze and evaluate civil infrastructure of all ages. Skills will be put to practice with classroom engineering analysis, expert lectures, and site visits guided by Roman experts in the engineering aspects of these sites (both modern and ancient).

Who Can Take the Class

Anyone enrolled at the University of Washington. The class is open to all undergraduate and graduate students. You do not need to be a Civil and Environmental Engineering major, or even an Engineering major. You just need an interest in the subject. Keep in mind that we will be doing engineering analysis in the class so that type of activity should be something you are okay with doing and able to do. If you have had math education up to, but not including, calculus you should be just fine.

Information sessions are scheduled:

  • Thursday, January 17th, 4-5 p.m. in More Hall room 225
  • Friday, February 1st, 3-4 p.m. in More Hall (room TBD)

Subject: Re: FLAS fellowships

Dear Mary,

I’ve attached the FLAS flyer for your information and for distribution to your students.  One update that pertains to professional school students is that the Dept of Ed has changed the requirements from 5 credits language and
5 credits area studies to 3 credits language and 3 credits area studies.
They are trying to make it easier for professional school students to fulfill their requirements.  It is also possible for students to count courses in their field towards the area studies requirement if they focus their work in the course on their world region.

We had 2 engineering students with FLAS fellowships this summer.

Please let me know if you would like to meet or have me come speak to your students.

Best regards,
Robyn Davis
