Annually, The University of Iowa SWE section hosts a High School Conference where they invite female high schoolers that are either admitted into the UI College of Engineering or interested in engineering.

The high schoolers were able to ask questions about experiences in college and professional life. The panel shared their engineering journeys, critical experiences along the way, and accomplishments. Thank you to the four professionals that were on the panel - Jill, Shelby, Adriane, & Kristen!

​Annually the University of Iowa SWE Section hosts a High School Conference where they invite female high schoolers that are either admitted into the College of Engineering or interested in Engineering for a 2 day event.  This year the tradition lived on virtually! SWE-East Central Iowa loves that we have the opportunity to support the event with a Professional Panel.  The high schoolers were able to ask us any questions about our experience in college and professional life.  We were able to share our journeys to where we are now and share what our day to day work life looks like.  It was neat to have a couple High School Conference Alums on the panel with us!  Thank you to our 5 professionals that helped with the panel - Jill, Sarah, Beth, April, and Jane!

The University of Iowa SWE Upgrade Event

4/18/2016

0 Comments

 
On March 22nd, 2016, four members of SWE-ECI met with The University of Iowa SWE section for this year's Upgrade Event. The theme of the event was "Next Steps After College (in SWE and in Life!)". At the event, the members of SWE-ECI informed the students of the benefits of having a SWE Professional Membership; encouraged the seniors to stay involved with SWE after graduation, regardless of where they start their careers; and discussed how to succeed in the professional world, especially during their first year. Even though the event was targeted toward seniors, there were a few juniors that attended, as well!

At the end of the event, SWE-ECI raffled off a one-year SWE professional membership to a senior that didn't have the College to Career membership. This year's winner was Mollie Knake!

On October 30th, 5 members of SWE-ECI spent the evening at Mount Vernon High School with an enthusiastic group of Science Olympiaders.  After a successful first year of partnership where the team took second in state, we returned to the classroom to help kick things off again.  Teams were working on their projects like "Wright Stuff," an airplane building competition and other building events.  We provided support and helped encourage them to use the engineering design process.  We also brought pizza!  Overall we all had a lot of fun and the team got a good start on preparing to try to take first at state this year!

On Wednesday, April 15th, a few of the core-board members with previous internship and co-op experience met with the University of Iowa SWE Collegiate section, to share some pearls of wisdom to enable them to be successful and make the best of their secured internships for the consequent semesters. It was a very informal and open discussion where the collegiate members felt free to bring up any issues and questions that they had. All in all, it was a great event and we hope that these members have a very positive experience at their respective internships.
