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.
