Special thanks to Robert Shutt, etiquette educator, for providing us a great learning experience on business etiquette! We enjoyed learning the rules and tips to professional dining success, as well as practicing how to “shine while we dine”!

We were honored to host Charles Vogl, an award winning leadership author, speaker, executive coach, and Yale alumnus. He draws from the realm of spiritual traditions to understand how individuals build loyalty, strengthen identification with a community, and motivate actions consistent with group values. These principles apply to both secular and spiritual leadership.

WE17 the largest conference for women engineers, was a huge success held in Austin, Texas! Yale SWE was honored to obtain 3 awards: collegiate gold award, best practices mentoring, and SWE resource promotion. Bridget Hegarty was chosen from a competitive pool of applicants to present her poster, in addition to giving updates and insight at our Region meeting.

During the 2017 High School Engineering Day, we helped students create customizable motion-sensing LED bracelets. We hope that students were able to gain confidence in their engineering skills through conquering intimidating tasks like wiring a breadboard and understanding Arduino code!
