Posted on September 3rd, 2009 by axb
WE Connect is designed for admitted high school women and their parents or guardians who wish to learn more about the UT Austin Cockrell School of Engineering. Current engineering students answer questions and provide advice while participants tour the Women Engineers in LittlefielD (WELD) program. The program is free and occurs during Explore UT, The University of Texas at Austin’s annual open house.

Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering invites you to participate in a program called C-Tech² – Computers and Technology at Virginia Tech. A primary focus of the program is to help develop and sustain the interests of women in engineering and the sciences. The program allows you to explore applications of engineering, math, and science in a way that is fun and exciting. You will spend the majority of your time involved in hands-on activities designed to increase your interest in and knowledge of applications of engineering, math, and science to real world situations. The target population for the program is rising junior and senior high school girls.
The Women in Engineering Workshop (WIE) allows high school freshman/sophomore/junior women, who are academically talented in mathematics and/or science, the opportunity to investigate careers in engineering and science. Practicing women engineers from industry and the government, educators, and university faculty lead informational sessions and discussions. Each session includes sessions in ten engineering fields, a laboratory experience, a team engineering project, and time to interact formally and informally with role models and talented peers.
The SET Go Girl camp is a one-day workshop for High School girls held every November on the South Dakota State University Campus. During the workshop the students will interact with professional women from industry as well as with professors and students from SDSU. The goals of this workshop are to introduce participants to engineering, math, and science through a highly dynamic program of hands-on activities suited to high school age students. Professional women from industry are a key part of this workshop designed to help students decide how to focus their interests into a college major and a career.
Summer camp for 7th and 8th grade girls interested in learning more about engineering, math and science careers. Held annually in July on the Ohio Northern University campus.
