2022-2023 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.

Workshops

Seismic Outreach  - K'NEX Sorting Party

When:  (Week 3) Thursday, Oct. 13 | 5-6 PM
Where: ASCE Lounge (BH 2745)Help sort the K’nex pieces for our school visits and learn about the engineering presentation we will give the students! And snacks!

Restrictions: ​None!

​

Concrete Canoe - Concrete Mix Design Workshop

When: (Week 3) Thursday, Oct. 13 | 3-5 PM
Where: The Container
​Learn about the basics of concrete and get your hands dirty by mixing your own batch of concrete!
​
Restrictions: None–but be prepared to get a little dusty!

Construction Management - Bluebeam Workshop

When: (Week 4) Thursday, Oct. 20 |  5-6 PM
Where: Boelter 4404
Will introduce Bluebeam Revu software, its uses, and run through a basic logistics plan to show the basic tools of Bluebeam. Will also teach about the importance of the logistics plan in construction.

Restrictions: None!

Sustainable Solutions - Envision & Sustainability Workshop

When: (Week 4) Tuesday, Oct. 18 | 12-1 PM
Where: ASCE Lounge (BH 2745)
Learn about one of the globally recognized frameworks for sustainable and resilient civil infrastructure: Envision! We will go over what Envision is, its benefits, how it applies to our project, and other sustainable practices. We will have a Kahoot game at the end (if time permits) to recap what we learned and the winners will get snacks :).

Restrictions: None, but please bring a laptop or phone to participate in our end-of-workshop Kahoot game!

Transportation - Geometrics and Traffic Counts

When: (Week 6) Tuesday, Nov. 1 | 4-5 PM
Where: Inverted Fountain
Measuring (slopes and lengths) of intersection features. Counting cars and identifying roadway features.

Restrictions: None!

GeoWall - Practice Build

When: (Week 7) Tuesday, Nov. 8 | 5-7 PM
Where: Soils Lab (BH 1567)
Define Geotechnical Engineering and where it can be found in everyday life. Talk about what a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall is, its purpose, and how GeoWall explores this. Finally, perform a practice build. 


Restrictions: Please wear closed-toed shoes!

Timber-Strong Design Build - Miniature House and Load Test

​When: (Week 7) Thursday, Nov. 10 | 2-3 PM
Where: ASCE Lounge (Boelter 2745)
Build a small-scale wood structure out of popsicle sticks and have it load-tested! This mimics the much larger and longer process we as a project go through for competition.

​
​Restrictions: None!

Surveying - Differential Taping and Leveling

​When: (Week 8) Thursday, Nov. 17 | 11 AM-12 PM
Where: ASCE Lounge (Boelter 2745)
Learn the basics of differential leveling and taping and use the Philadelphia rod, auto level, and steel tape to determine distances and elevations around campus.

​
​Restrictions: None, but we will be working outside.


Environmental Design - Intro to Environmental/Water Resources Engineering + Construct a Small-Scale Filtration System

When:  (Week 8) Monday, Nov. 14 | 12-2 PM
Where: ASME Lounge (BH 2730C)
Learn about environmental and water resources engineering and construct a miniature water treatment system.

Restrictions: None! If we send people to the lab to test, you’d need a lab safety/general chemistry certification, but we probably won’t have time for this.

Seismic Design & Steel Bridge - 3D CAD with SketchUp

When: (Week 6) Thursday, Nov. 3 | 6-8 PM 
Where: Boelter Hall 4404
