Building an Engineering Career

In partnership with FIRST CA and SWE-OC, our team hosted our third panel, Building an Engineering Career. We invited esteemed woman engineers to speak about their experiences in a male-dominated field as well as introduce young women to the numerous engineering fields available to them. The event took place on April 15, 2021 from 5 to 6 PM PT. Special thanks to our sponsor, Raytheon Technologies!
