On April 15th, 44 high school students came to the University of Iowa campus to learn more about engineering as a major and a career. SWE-ECI once again hosted a Q&A session for the students. Six professionals representing General Mills, ITC, P&G, Quaker Oats, and Rockwell Collins were on the panel. They represented five different majors and many different career paths from operations to R&D. The students asked a lot of great questions and everyone seemed to learn something. Afterwards, the beautiful weather allowed everyone to go outside to dine on the SWE-ECI sponsored dinner. The panelists stayed to eat with the girls and answer any further question. It was a great night! Thanks to all the SWE-ECI members who helped out.
