To:                 ENGR 194 – Women In Engineering Seminar

Sem. 1. Class 1, cr. 1.

                  Prerequisite:  None.

An overview of the career opportunities for women in engineering.  The content and activities of the course may be of particular interest to women. Speakers from a variety of engineering organizations discuss their career paths and share their strategies for success. Students also meet weekly in small groups led by engineering seniors for additional information, interaction, and support from their peers in engineering. Engineering 194 is open to all entering engineering students. 

Reason for Changes:  To make Purdue compliant with the Supreme Court ruling, we can offer programs whose purpose is to increase the number and success of specific groups, but we must be clear that everyone may apply to these programs.
