CEE 1 Workshops & Professional Development Events

CEE 1 is the introductory civil engineering course required for new CEE students during their first quarter at UCLA. Part of the requirement for passing the class is that students must attend at least one workshop hosted by one of our projects and must also attend at least one of our many professional development events. Check out what we have to offer down below, and then make sure to RSVP to one or more of our workshops by clicking on the link below! For our professional development events, you do not need to RSVP in advance; you will be able to sign-in to the event once you arrive. Scroll to the very bottom of this page for a list of our upcoming professional development events.

Come and learn what industry concrete is made of, and how we make ours float. We’ll be giving a brief lecture about the history of concrete, its use in construction, basic material properties, and environmental impact. We will also go over the chemical reactions that make water, cement and sand turn into the concrete you see all around you!

Restrictions: None!

Construction Management - LEED Scorecards

When: Week 5 Tuesday, November 3, 6-8 PM
Where: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/93975248878

LEED is a huge part of new buildings, both in the design and construction phases. We’ll be exploring a building rendering and learning how to fill out the LEED scorecard for it! This is hosted by the Construction Management project, which encompasses sustainability consulting, design, and construction coordination skills.

Restrictions: None!

EngineeringX & Timber-Stong Design Build - AutoCAD with EngineeringX & Timber-Strong Design Build

When: Week 6 Thursday, November 12, 2-3 PM
Where: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/99234788948
