Civil Engineering Students,

Many of us are interested in work that improve the community. The American Public Works Association (APWA) is a professional engineering organization for people who work on projects that do just that.  All civil disciplines, from hydrology to structures, are represented in public works.

You are invited to join the APWA UW Student Chapter, a new club that connects students with jobs in public works!  We do this by hosting networking nights with local engineers, going on field trips to public works projects, and visiting companies to meet engineers where they work.  We are currently 36 members, looking to connect even more students to public works professionals.
