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.
Join faculty, staff, students, and alumni of the UW-Madison Civil and Engineering Department for our 25th annual Golf Outing fundraiser. Players of all skill levels are welcome, and golf is played as a scramble.
