WE22: A World of Opportunity Awaits

10/23/2022

0 Comments

 
WE22's theme was A World of Opportunity Awaits. We had five SWE-ECI members attend the conference, going to multiple sessions across the three days, Oct. 20th - 22nd. Many of them recruited for their respective companies, as well. As part of a long-standing tradition, on Friday night, our professional members got together with 13 Iowa Hawkeye collegiates to get dinner and socialize. Everyone had an enjoyable time relaxing and refueling for the rest of the conference. Between stellar professional development sessions, a massive career fair, and multiple thought-provoking keynote presentations there was no lack of conversation at the dinner table!​ Lastly, on Saturday two of our ECI members volunteered at SWE's "Invent It. Build It." K-12 Outreach event to encourage girls to choose a career in engineering and technology.

We hope you can join us next year!

WE19's theme was We Live, We Learn, We Lead; and that is exactly what six SWE-ECI members did at the conference! All members attended multiple sessions across the three days, Nov. 7th - 9th. Four of our six members recruited for their respective companies. On Thursday, Nov. 7th, two SWE-ECI members, Kelly Hentges and Kristen Wagner, along with three other ladies from PepsiCo, presented a session on "Five Different Perspectives on Creating Food from Seed to Shelf". There were over 100 attendees at this session! On Friday night, three of our Professional members got together with 15 Iowa Hawkeye collegiates to get dinner and socialize. To wrap up the conference, on Saturday, Nov. 9th, SWE-ECI received three Mission awards at the Celebrate SWE Banquet!  
  • Gold Award for overall great activities and involvement in professional excellence, globalization, advocacy, and diversity and inclusion.
  • Best Practice - Professional Development Award
  • Best Practice - Outreach Award

As part of a long standing tradition, SWE-ECI and the U of I SWE collegiate section had an enjoyable time relaxing and refueling at the Cheesecake Factory after a non-stop high energy day at the WE19 Conference in Anaheim, CA this past week. Between stellar professional development sessions, a massive career fair, and multiple thought-provoking keynote presentations there was no lack of conversation at the dinner table!​

It was a great conference, and we are all looking forward to WE20 in New Orleans, LA!

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 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.

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.
