The University of Washington Tacoma & School of Engineering & Technology proudly present our inaugural celebration of Engineer Week!
Engineer Week recognizes and celebrates the study of engineering. A special part of Engineer Week is Girl Day, which focuses on inspiring girls to pursue Engineering careers. Our goal in SET is to spark girls’ interest in engineering by introducing them to different engineering disciplines, real-life models, and engineering labs and equipment. We hope to demystify engineering and inspire girls to consider pursuing future careers in engineering.
Girl Day Event
SET will kick off Engineer Week by hosting: “Girl Day” -Introduce a Girl to Engineering. Please join us for hands-on activities, student and faculty panel discussions, and tour our lab facilities. This event will also include door prizes, light refreshments, and drinks.
