Today is a super fun meeting, we’re learning Solidworks! Our upperclassmen mechanical engineering majors will have class to teach some basic Solidworks functions. Then next week, we’ll have another Solidworks meeting where we can all create whatever we want and then print it in the 3D print lab! Come to the engineering building room 010C and we’ll walk over together to the ECC in Kirk 212. See you all there!

This past weekend, eight of our URI SWE members attended the SWE National Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. We were very proud to attend and so thankful that URI College of Engineering was able to send us on this incredible trip. We all gained so much from the speakers, talks, and meaningful conversations we had. We learned valuable information and insight from the companies and speakers that attended the conference. We would like to thank all the people that made our trip possible and our awesome E-Board who planned and executed it all. If anyone is interested in learning more about what you can do to attend this conference in the future, come to our meetings or reach out to us!

Through our professional meetings, outreach with young students, and personal networking growth, we carry those values with us and aim to grow as a community. Thank you to SWE for considering us for this honorable award, and we will continue to pursue our goals at a chapter level and a national level.
