We Are Digging into the Future
Join Washington Tunneling and help shape the future of transportation.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring together University of Washington students to engineer innovative transit solutions.
We are building a tunnel boring machine (TBM) to excavate tunnels that could support systems such as Hyperloop.
Our Vision
Our vision is to contribute to a sustainable society by developing tunneling technology for rapid transit systems.
Inspired by the University of Washington’s motto, “Lux sit,” or “Let there be light,” we pursue innovative solutions that make a positive impact on the world.
We help future engineers from a variety of backgrounds develop problem-solving skills and gain hands-on experience.
