From Rome to Jordan to Scandinavia, many UW CEE students study abroad in other countries, enabling them to gain an international and historical engineering perspective.
Supporting the cultivation of a global engineering mindset, UW CEE is unique in the number of study abroad opportunities led by department faculty.
Grand Challenges Impact Lab: India Study Abroad Program
While in Bangalore, students are equipped with hands-on problem solving experience, empowering them to address real-world problems while increasing their cultural awareness.
Valle Scholarship & Scandinavian Exchange Program
Program that promotes and funds the exchange of graduate students between the University of Washington and institutions/organizations in Nordic countries in the fields of civil and environmental engineering, architecture, landscape design, urban planning, and construction management.
Engineering Rome
Students live in Rome for 25 days and spend their time discovering, experiencing, and analyzing civil infrastructure within the Eternal City that spans 3,000 years from ancient Rome to the present day. Engineering from the ancient, Rennaissance, Baroque, modern and times in between all coexist together in Rome to make it the perfect infrastructure laboratory.
Engineers Without Borders
Students work on a variety of engineering projects around the world, with the goal of empowering communities, meeting basic needs and improving quality of life.
Engineering Jordan
This program is no longer offered
Recent extreme summer heat waves have made it impossible for the Jordan University of Science and Technology to host.
