WSU SWE Events
Monday, October 12th, 2009LEGO Mindstorms:  There are a couple of opportunities for those who are interested in helping out with this ongoing event.  (1)The WSU section will be building the course on Friday, October 30th from 3:30-? (you don’t have to take off work to come help, just come afterward) and Saturday, October 31st from 9am-2pm. Location will be confirmed later. The course is already designed but they could use some help building it.  (2) Volunteers are needed to judge the day of the competition. This event will be on Saturday, March 6th. Judges may also need to be there for the Trial Day which is Saturday, February 20th.  Judging just consists of watching the teams attempt our course & giving them points for completing tasks, based off the created point system.

Be a Wichita State Career Connection
Friday, April 17th, 2009Wichita State’s Career Services department is looking for volunteers for their Career Connections program. Career Connections puts Wichita State students in touch with WSU alumni and friends to learn about the real working world. With so many engineering students, they’re looking for a wide variety of engineers in the local workforce to help out.
You can volunteer to be “shadowed” and let students spend a few hours a day observing you on your job. You could also meet informally with students to be interviewed for 15 or 30 minutes.
Choosing a career can be a daunting task for college students, and little bit of information they can gather about jobs is vital in helping them make the right choices. Your experiences could be the guidance they need. Sign up online through the Career Connections profile website: http://webs.wichita.edu/?u=CAREERSERVICES2&p=/CConnectalumfriends/
