SWE-ECI hosted our annual New Year, New You event this past Thursday. For the event Gale Mote came to speak about engaging in productive conflict. She talked about what it takes to make an effective team - Trust, Productive Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results. Gale enlightened the group about the DiSC behavior assessment tool and the group discussed tips on how to ensure we engage all types of personalities when on a team. I personally look forward to utilizing the skills learned on Thursday with my project teams. SWE-ECI would like to extend a special thanks to Gale Mote for coming to speak with the group - she is a delight to have at our events!

On January 26th, the SWE-ECI chapter sponsored a special award for the Future City Competition in Cedar Rapids, IA. Future City is a competition where middle school students design a city in the future that meet the year’s theme. The theme this year was “Power Our Future”. Teams were challenged to design and build a resilient power grid for their future city that can withstand and quickly recover from the impacts of a natural disaster. The special award hosted by SWE-ECI for “Most Diverse Infrastructure” was awarded to the team that had the greatest variety in shapes, colors, and buildings in their city. This year’s award went to Cienfuegos from Decorah Middle School. Their model was very appealing to the eye, and also had a wide variety of buildings and structures in their city. After the special awards judging, SWE-ECI also helped judge the general model and presentations for the cities. |
