Students benefit from the expertise of UW Engineering faculty, who are leaders in their fields, and from the diverse backgrounds of classmates. The degrees and certificates in engineering are developed in partnership with regional industry leaders to give you access to important contacts and expertise.
Affiliated Certificates | Electrical & Computer Engineering
In this hands-on, project-based certificate program, we’ll explore how GPU Computing and Scientific Visualization support reshaping and reenvisioning the world in novel dimensions. In a series of three online complementary classes, you’ll learn and apply the theory, practical hands-on skills, and undocumented “black art” techniques required to develop optimized parallel GPU software.

Professional Master's degrees | Civil & Environmental Engineering
UW CEE’s Hydrology and Hydrodynamics Master’s Program focuses on physical, chemical and biological processes in freshwater systems. The program provides both a solid background in all traditional areas of hydrology and hydrodynamics, as well as technological advances in numerical modeling, environmental observations and monitoring, and satellite remote sensing to address growing challenges in the natural and built environment with global change. Graduate students work closely with faculty and also interact with leaders in the local professional community, many of whom are UW graduates, through special courses taught by practitioners, field trips, seminars and professional society meetings.
This program is in-person at the UW Seattle campus with an Autumn-only start each year.
