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.

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!

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!
