Cal
Day @ CEE - Saturday, April 16, 2005
Come and find out about one of the leading Civil and Environmental
Engineering programs in the world!
 |
| The renovated Davis Hall—home
of Civil and Environmental Engineering |
Come
and meet Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) faculty and current
students. You'll have an opportunity to learn about several areas
of study in this diverse field, tour some labs, and see a classroom
demonstration. You can ask faculty and current students about the
program and the experience of being an undergraduate in our department.
