Scholarships
University & College Wide Scholarships
[email protected] showcases the range of scholarship opportunities available at UW-Madison ,including scholarships offered through the College of Engineering.Awards range from $400 to $6,000. Some scholarships offer awards for a single academic year while others may be renewable for up to four years.
Departmental Scholarships
Scholarships within the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department are based strictly on merit (grade point average). There is no application to be completed; all CEE students are considered for departmental scholarships.
Grants
The Grants Information Collection (GIC) is a collection of print and electronic materials available to students who wish to help fund their university expenses with money other than scholarship aid.

Course Structure
The curriculum requirements for an Engineering degree can be satisfied in eight semesters of study by completing 15-17 credits of work each semester.However, many students choose to take longer. A nine-semester or ten-semester program may be selected to achieve broader coverage of an area of specialization, penetrate an area more deeply, pursue a certificate program, or pursue a second major. In addition, many students participate in the engineering cooperative education (co-op) program, which requires one or two additional semesters.
International Exchange & Double Degrees
International Engineering Studies & Programs
International Engineering Studies and Programs (IESP) is a service unit within the College of Engineering that prepares UW-Madison engineering students to study abroad. As an IESP participant, you can choose from more than 50 study abroad programs in the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, and Europe and most programs are available for a semester or year.
International Academic Programs (IAP)
International Academic Programs (IAP) offers over 150 study abroad programs to UW-Madison students across campus. Instruction is in a wide range of languages, including many options in English.
Internships
Cooperative Education and Internship Program
Students gain invaluable “real world” engineering experiences working with a variety of industries and governmental agencies throughout the world during our dynamic co-op/summer intern program. Employers have the opportunity to hire outstanding students early in their engineering education and to participate in the education process while pre-screening potential full-time hires.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION.
Requires the completion of up to 12 months of engineering experience distributed over three work terms. Participants are undergraduates and typically begin during the sophomore or junior years. The three work terms are comprised of summers and semesters.
THE MODIFIED CO-OP
Begins in January or June and provides continuous employment for approximately eight months. This co-op lends itself best to employers with project-based work that requires more extensive training. Undergraduates may participate during the sophomore, junior or senior years.
THE SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
For employers seeking undergraduate or graduate students during the summer months. These assignments provide students exposure to engineering while enabling the employer to fill short-term project needs.
Requirements
Research & Technical Papers
Faculty and students maintain active research activities in all areas related to geological engineering, including :
– Geoenviromental engineering
– Engineering and environmental geophysics
– Rock mechanics and rock engineering
– Non-destructive evaluation
– Alternative energy (wind and geothermal systems)
– Engineering of recycled materials
– Solid waste management and bioreactors
– Foundation engineering
– Geology
– Hydrogeology and hydroecology
– Water resources and stream restoration
– Coastal engineering
– Sustainable engineering
Text / Exam Scores
- Scores from either the ACT or the SAT are required and must be sent directly from the testing agency. College also requires the standardized writing test.
- Students for whom English is not their first language, and who have studied in a language other than English must take an official test of English as a foreign language. UW–Madison accepts both the TOEFL and the IELTS tests.
