The Program provides a comprehensive set of initiatives designed to encourage and assist women students in becoming successful professional engineers. Services offered include research fellowships, teaching fellowships, mentoring, workshops on classroom climate issues and curriculum transformation, Women Student Advisory Board, speakers, conference funding, collaboration with community colleges, newsletters, and support of women in engineering organizations. Both programs provide students the opportunity to gain professional level experience, integrate theory and practice, confirm career choices, and help finance their education. At the same time employers gain access to an energetic new work force, reduce recruitment costs, train future employees, and increase their presence on campus. Students are eligible to participate in the co-op and summer programs after completing their sophomore engineering requirements.
All students are eligible for part-time engineering positions.
To apply, students attend an orientation session and complete a registration disk that includes a resume. Workshops on completing the disk and interviewing skills are offered weekly, and a monthly newsletter highlights student work experiences and office programs. From time to time, it may be necessary to request some type of special consideration in order to take care of a problem. Listed below are some of these considerations and information about where to seek assistance. If you encounter an academic problem and do not know where to seek assistance, you should see Dr. Ainane in Room 2188.
