CEAE Peer Mentoring Program
The CEAE Peer Mentoring Program pairs third- and fourth-year students with first- and second-year students to foster relationships and enhance the experience of being an architectural or civil engineering student. It’s a great opportunity to share and learn practical advice on classes, careers, life outside of school, internships and more!

CEAE mentees gain extra support and a sense of community within the department!. First- and second-year students, learn more and sign up to be a mentee by Aug. 29.

CEAE mentors develop leadership skills and help others succeed, just like you have! Third- and fourth-year students, learn more and sign up to be a mentor by Aug. 29.

AREN Global Intensive - Energy Systems for the Built Environment
Work hard and have fun!
This global intensive course, a collaboration between CU Boulder, Politecnico di Milano, and the University of Brescia, will focus on district-scale energy concepts and modeling. The 12-day program in May 2025 takes place in Lecco, Italy, near Lake Como. Students will learn urban-scale building energy analysis, using platforms like URBANopt™ and REopt™ to explore the benefits of interactive building and energy resource design. The course fosters international collaboration, pairing students from the U.S. and Italy to enhance learning across different educational systems and cultural backgrounds.

Contact Professor Gregor Henze for questions and to be added to the global intensive roster.

Interested in a Fall 2024 tech elective? Consider "Colorado River Water Crisis" or "Non-Point Source Pollution" and talk to your advisor!

See the course descriptions below:

Colorado River Water Crisis
The Colorado River once fostered flourishing life in the 20th century, but it no longer meets all needs today. Discover the root causes for this water crisis; be able to spearhead solutions for the next century. In this class, you will engage in constructive conversations and consider options for meaningful actions.

Non-Point Source Pollution
This class covers principles, processes, and control of nonpoint source pollution. Particular emphasis is placed on non-point source (NPS) problems associated with urban runoff, agricultural influences on water quality, and impacts of mining and forestry. Surface and ground water pollution in diverse aquatic systems including stream, river, lake, reservoir, estuarine environments are considered. Students are exposed to a variety of structural and non-structural management principles.

Volunteers Needed!

The Colorado Green Building Guild is hosting its annual Green Home Tour on Sept. 14. This self-guided event will showcase nine homes through in-person walkthroughs and video tours, highlighting unique sustainable features. This year, we’ll also focus on the Marshall Fire rebuild efforts, both completed and ongoing.

Volunteers will work for half of the day and can tour the homes during the other half. Each volunteer will also receive a free meal ticket for our after-party at the Superior Community Center.
