What is Engineering? (Formerly SWE Overnight)
What is Engineering? (formerly SWE Overnight) is a shadow program at the Rochester Institute of Technology for female high school juniors. This program offers participants the opportunity to explore various engineering fields through hands-on workshops and interactions with current RIT engineering students and professors. This year, in 2023, the event will be held virtually over the course of a weekend in 4 various Zoom sessions due to persisting COVID restrictions.
A mentoring relationship can also be developed through our panel discussions and interactive activity, which helps facilitate the transition from high school to college. Our goal is to motivate and inspire young women to pursue a career in STEM fields (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics).
