Upcoming Events

Have no fear, Engineer! SWE invites local girl scouts to Cal for the afternoon to learn about the joys of engineering. With plenty of fun activities (and a delicious lunch!), ENFE gives the girls an opportunity to explore engineering topics and ideas with the goal of getting them to think about potentially pursuing a career in math and science.

Engineering Mixer A networking event for the best of Berkeley's Engineering community.

YES Day- Young Engineers and Scientists A half-day event where High School and Middle School students come to Berkeley to attend in-depth workshops on the different disciplines of engineering and why it is important and beneficial to pursue an educational career in engineering. The event is organized by HES (Hispanic Engineers and Scientists), and SWE is very excited to help introduce students to several different engineering career paths along with other Cal engineering groups.

Evening With Industry

Expanding Your Horizons EYH is held at San Francisco State University every year. SWE sponsors a hands-on workshop for students rotating through the activities. The goal of EYH is to get local teenagers interested in math and science who might not have otherwise considered going into these fields.

LeConte Elementary School Volunteering LeConte Elementary is one of Berkeley’s most socioeconomically disadvantaged school, and the teachers are working hard to give the children the best education possible. A small group of children have demonstrated advanced abilities in math and science (plus an interest in being challenged academically), but are not able to get the attention they need in a classroom forced to focus on getting everyone to pass the minimum standards. SWE plans to come in on a weekly basis and work through a teacher-designed curriculum with these students, utilizing our enthusiasm for math and science to help these kids grow and be excited about learning!
