Talk with an Engineer (or Engineering Student)
Are you considering engineering or computer science as a career?
Do you have questions? We have answers!
High school students can sign up for a 30-minute virtual session with a woman engineer or engineering student to discuss anything STEM-career related such as…
preparing for college, resumes, college choices, majors/degrees, types of engineering, what engineers do, etc.
Your questions, your choice!
Now available! Sign up with a friend if you want to! We know sometimes it’s more comfortable to have a friend with you when talking with an engineer.
Note: If signing up for you and a friend, please make sure you have your friend’s name, email address, parent’s name, and parent’s email address before filling out the form.
The program is sponsored by the Pittsburgh Society of Women Engineers section.
