All students can run a DARS audit to review their progress in
completing degree requirements. This is a good thing to do once or
twice per year so you are informed before registering for the upcoming
semesters, etc. It is also a good practice to make sure the
University gave you the proper credit for your summer courses taken
outside UIUC. The link for the DARS audit is: http://registrar.illinois.edu/dars/generate.html
Hello all,
In our ongoing effort to clean up the CEE network, the time has come for the CEE Mail Server to be retired. Friday, July 3rd is going to be the end of life for the mail server. I have contacted most, if not all, of those that have accounts on the server. There remain only two accounts that haven't been spoken for. Efforts have been made to contact those individuals.
Again, thanks to all for the cooperation and effort in making this successful. And always, if you have any comments, questions, or network issues, please do not hesitate to contact me at cee-help@illinois.edu.
Thank you for your patience.

Robert Silman Fellow for Preservation Engineering Position starting Summer/Fall 2009
www. Silman.com
Melissa Barkalow Barkalow@Silman.com
Location: 1310 DCL
Date: Tuesday 4/21
Time: 6pm
Presenter: Professor Scott Olson
Topic: Title - A day in the life... academics v. practice
Abstract: One of the bigger choices you'll make in the next few years is where you see yourself in 5 years...grad school, PhD, academics, practice, PE exam. While there's no choice that's permanent, one question that may come to mind as you're making your decision is: what's a typical day, week, and month like for someone in practice v. someone in academics? I'll give you some perspectives on that question from someone who has been (and still is) both a practicing professional geotechnical engineer and a junior faculty member at a pretigious public university. Come with questions, as there will be time for discussion!
We look forward to seeing you there! As always, there will be free pizza after the presentation!

Hi everyone,
Dee Dee Caneva and Todd Hearn from F&S took the Commencement Photo opportunity map, made it interactive and added pictures of the locations. Take a look, add it to your site and encourage others to do the same: http://www.fs.uiuc.edu/pdfs/sas/crc/crcnews/photoopps/index.html
It’s a great resource to connect graduating students with places on campus that will forever live in their pictures.:)
Thanks Dee Dee and Todd!
New course for fall 2009 in Landscape Architecture. Please read attachment for all details. Download LA 390 Fall flyer
Course will be offered in Fall 2009 on WF, 2:00-3:20pm, Room 1225 Newmark, registration is open. Description is below. Email: Sotiria Kolutsou-Vakakis with any questions, sotiriak@illinois.edu .
Environmental problems are not bounded by country borders. Depending on the scale of the problem, regional or global efforts are essential to promote environmental protection and sustainability. Multinational environmental agreements, often in the form of conventions that define goals to be achieved by means of cooperative efforts, require scientific and technical foundations. This course will review the multinational environmental negotiation process and illuminate the roles of experts from many fields in developing international agreements. Students will individually, and in teams, examine recent environmental treaties and conventions and develop an understanding of the complex negotiation process associated with global problem solving. Students should have senior or graduate student standing with an understanding of statistics.
Prerequisites: senior or graduate status, CEE 202 or equivalent
Here is some additional information to clear up some of the confusion that may be caused with CEE 408 and 409 being new courses in Fall 2009 as they were previously offered as CEE 498 classes.
CEE 409 - Design Credit = 1.2
CEE 408, 409, and 410 do count for technical electives for Transporation Engineering.
The course descriptions for all three of these classes can be found at http://cee.illinois.edu/portalcourses
Please contact Prof. Chris Barkan, Riley Edwards, or Kim Haggeman with the Railroad Transportation group with additonal questions.
Two new Railroad Engineering classes are being offered during the Fall 2009 semester, Railroad Transportation Engineering (CEE 408) and Railroad Track Engineering (CEE 409). Railroad Transportation Engineering (CEE 408) provides an introduction to railroad transportation engineering, economics and an overview of the major technologies used by railroads. Railroad Track Engineering (CEE 409) is a class is for upper-level undergrad and graduate students interested in the design, construction and maintenance of railroad track and facilities. The Railroad Engineering courses are among the approved options for advanced technical electives for a Primary or Secondary in Transportation Engineering. The complete course descriptions for the two classes are listed below, and I have attached a flyer for each course providing additional information.
If you have any questions about the Railroad Engineering classes or the UIUC Railroad Engineering Program, please do not hesitate to contact either J. Riley Edwards jedward2@illinois.edu or the Director of the Railroad Engineering Program, Professor Chris Barkan; cbarkan@illinois.edu. We look forward to seeing many of you all in a railroad course this fall! Download CEE 408 Flyer Fall 2009 Download CEE 409 Flyer Fall 2009

The Department of Industrial & Enterprise System Engineering is pleased to invite you to a special presentation of Engineering Your Successful Career presented by distinguished alumnus Marv Smollar. His presentation includes an entrepreneur's perspective on making the most out of your engineering education and navigating the career choices and opportunities that will be available on the way to building your successful career.
A former patent attorney turned businessman, Smollar joint-ventured with a Hong Kong toy manufacturer to build a business that went public on the NYSE. He followed up by forming his own national toy company that in turn was acquired by an AMEX company that also asked him to be its president. He likes to think of himself as having risen through the ranks, having started his business career by unloading the company’s first container shipment to becoming its president and CEO. Along with 25+ years of international business, Smollar has also been an active real estate investor and developer and is currently developing mixed use projects in Florida. There is no charge for this presentation. http://www.iese.illinois.edu/pdf/smollar.pdf
