February  2012

Do you like to build things and to solve problems? Do you want to make this world a better place for everyone? If so, consider a career in engineering! A panel of women engineers will discuss why they chose to study engineering and how they prepared to be successful engineering majors in college. They will tell you what they do on a typical day in their workplace, how they balance work and home, and why engineering is a satisfying career for women. Join us on February 21, 2012 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am (CST) and learn how WISE women engineer the future. You can view the live enrichment program for students in grades 7 to 12 by going to the Center for Educational Media at MTSU and find viewing options on the website at cem.mtsu.edu view.
