WELCOME TO WOMEN IN ENGINEERING DAY!
During Women in Engineering Day, URI SWE partners with the Office of Admission to promote a full day event to prospective high school juniors and seniors to experience what it is like to be an engineering student. High school students have the opportunity to attend classes, attend a faculty panel, attend a student panel, a tour of our brand new state of the art Fascitelli Center for Advanced Engineering, and eat lunch in the dining hall, among other activities! We also offer a program for parents and families of the students to learn more about URI Engineering as well.
​
This year, Women in Engineering Day will be held on
March 27th from 10 AM - 3 PM!​
