Chapter leaders Nguyen and Ace High, both Industrial Engineering Technology students, hope this student chapter will be a step towards bringing a positive change to their chosen field.<\/p>\n
Janet Nurnberg, faculty advisor for the chapter, believes this group will benefit female students as they find allies and community within their cohort.<\/p>\n
\u201cA large part of my personal success as an engineer in industry can be attributed to participation in student groups like SWE when I was in college,\u201d Nurnberg said.<\/p>\n
Nguyen sees having the student chapter as a path to draw more students to careers in engineering.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to provide a supportive environment, networking opportunities, along with making SWE a fun group\u2026would be my overall hopes and ambitions for the group,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
High believes groups like SWE bring diversity to organizations and hopes that it will give a boost of confidence to Dunwoody women entering the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope that at least one woman goes out there in our group and says, \u2018Yes, I deserve better,\u2019\u201d High said.<\/p>\n
The group plans to have Q&A sessions with women in industry, volunteer outreach, and recreational activities such as bowling.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Women-in-Engineering-02062019-kmh-2-300x196.jpg\")
