* GRE scores are not required for students applying to Civil and Environmental Engineering graduate programs (MS or PhD) for spring, summer, or fall 2022 admission due the COVID-19 pandemic.
Visit our Bachelor of Science Programs, Master’s Programs, and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Programs pages for additional information.
Research
CEE faculty and students engage in research in several focus areas under three primary themes of mobility, water, and building with cross-cutting areas of infrastructure, energy, and the environment. Research opportunities are available for both graduate and undergraduate students.
Events
Join alumni, industry colleagues, faculty, staff, and students for a day of fun and fundraising in support of the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department at UW-Madison.
A variety of sponsorship packages and registration options are available, and players of all skill levels are welcome.
CEE and GLE faculty and staff will welcome students back to campus with a return to our tradition of a fall Ice Cream Social from 2-3:30 pm. There will be multiple flavors to choose from, including dietary alternatives, free t-shirts, and two ways to win prizes.

Test your idea and present your findings for the chance to win cash in the 2022 Innovation in CEE Competition sponsored by The Boldt Company.
This competition is the first of its kind to focus on developing new materials, technologies, and solutions for today’s evolving civil and environmental engineering challenges. Now in its third year, Innovation in CEE encourages UW-Madison students to think outside the box and celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit of the Badger engineering community. Previous winning entries have included the application of food production byproducts as an alternative to rock salt for deicing and a modular data acquisition device.
Up to eight teams will take home cash prizes, and the competition is open to all CEE and GLE undergraduate students.
