As admission is competitive, meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. All prerequisite courses must be completed by the July 1 application deadline.
- Fifteen credits of mathematics at the level of MATH 124, 125, & 126 (Calculus I, II, III) or equivalent.
- At least 10 credits of physical science courses plus accompanying lab selected from PHYS 121, 122, 123 (calculus-based physics) or CHEM 142, 152 (General Chemistry I, III)
- Five credits of English composition
Applications for autumn admission to the undergraduate program will be accepted starting in mid-June with the application deadline of July 1. The online application opens approximately two weeks prior to the July 1 application deadline. Affter 5 p.m. on July 1, the engineering application will close until the next available admission period.
Getting ready for the CEE Program
Prepare
- Learn more about the CEE program by attending an information session, attending College of Engineering informational events, and/or meeting with a pre-engineering or CEE advisor.
- Start on engineering prerequisite courses right away. There are many and courses are sequenced. Prerequisite and Recommended courses
- Be sure that your major status is Pre-Engineering (check MyUW). Pre-engineering status is required for priority registration for many prerequisite engineering courses.
- Understand the engineering application procedures before the application period begins in mid-June. You should prepare your personal statement and gather information necessary to complete the application early, prior to the application deadline.
Learn
- Take CEE 100: “21st Century Civil and Environmental Engineering” (offered winter quarter). CEE 100 is a one-credit (Credit/No Credit) course that provides an overview of the modern field of civil/environmental engineering and its various sub-areas through an array of faculty and industry presenters.
View introductory slide show to CEE 100 - Qualified students who have completed all prerequisites courses and have no remaining requirements to complete may be eligible to take upper-division CEE courses on a space-available basis. To request add codes for upper-division CEE courses, identify the course(s) of interest on the Time Schedule and complete the online add code request form.
Engage
- Look for opportunities to engage in engineering-related activities, such as participating in CEE student organizations, undergraduate research, volunteer activities, and Engineering Co-op, internships and/or summer jobs.
