Course 1, Year 1
“Course 1 takes MIT’s “mind and hand” motto very seriously; students learn from lab exercises, hands-on projects and experimental research, which all supplement the material they learn in lectures.” – Marcin Hajduczek ‘22
Welcome to MIT! Course 1 is all about understanding the world around us and taking on global challenges. We work in areas such as renewable energy, autonomous transportation, and sustainable/resilient infrastructure.
You can read more details about our undergraduate program here.
While we wish that we could meet you all in person, Course 1 will be hosting several virtual events throughout the year to give you a taste of CEE. Check back periodically for new event postings!

Young Alumni Panel
A CEE degree applies to real-world industry positions after graduation in various ways. Join us for our third annual Young Alumni Panel to hear from CEE graduates about the dynamic careers they have explored after graduating from MIT.
CEE alumni are now applying their skills in a variety of interesting and diverse industries such as energy research, software development, and structural design. Our alumni are eager to discuss their journeys to success, as well as answer questions about career paths in new and emerging fields.

CEE mini-UROP
Interested in gaining experience research experience in Civil and Environmental Engineering? Register for CEE’s 6th annual mini-UROP. The mini-UROP is a 6-unit subject over IAP (1.097) in which first year students are paired with a CEE graduate student or postdoc mentor for an inside look at the exciting researching taking place in the department. This is a great opportunity to learn more about CEE!
If this is sounds like something that you would like to be involved in, please fill out this interest form and we will contact you about finding a project.
