Purdue sponsors Women in Engineering Career DayWEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A Women in Engineering Career Day for high-school seniors will be held at Purdue University on Monday, Oct. 19. The daylong event, sponsored by Purdue's Schools of Engineering and the Society of Women Engineers, is open to any young woman in her senior year of high school. A similar program will be held in the spring for high-school juniors. The cost is $10 per person, which includes lunch. The registration deadline is Oct. 5. The career day will give students information about the various areas of engineering. Students will be able to talk with practicing women engineers and Purdue women engineering students and faculty. A Purdue engineering alumna will deliver the keynote speech. Parents are invited to attend the program with their daughters. They will participate in some of the sessions and will have a separate question-and-answer session with Jane Daniels, Women in Engineering Programs' senior program manager.
