SWE Overnight

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 2021, the event will be held virtually over the course of a week in 5 various Zoom sessions.

Our student panel and campus tour will help facilitate the transition from high school to college as well. Our goal is to motivate and inspire young women to pursue a career in STEM fields (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics).

Thank you for attending virtual SWE Overnight 2021! We hope you enjoyed it!
​

In addition, participants will:

• Experience life as a college student
• Get a virtual tour of a real college campus
• Share fun experiences in various STEM labs
• Make new friends from different areas
• Have fun!

 
This year, our section will host 5 labs ranging from topics in the following engineering and science disciplines:​

• Biomedical Engineering / Biotechnology
• Chemical Engineering
• Computer Engineering / Electrical Engineering
• Industrial & Systems Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
