That's Engineering! was a success! A SWE National service event UMBC SWE and Tau Beta Pi members got up early on Saturday, September 10 to participate in Wow! That's Engineering. The event was planned by the Baltimore Washington Chapter of SWE. Over 200 6th through 9th grade girls filled the Washington Convention Center!

The UMBC students helped in many parts of the event. Some were team leaders and directed groups of girls to the different activities and helped them to complete the engineering challenges. Some helped lead specific activities that included building roller coasters for marbles to demonstrate kinetic and potential energy. Every volunteer not only walked away with an awesome bright green t shirt but a positive volunteering experience.

Service events with a focus on engineering and IT education are fun and rewarding experiences not just for the younger kids who participate in them. Stay tuned for more SWE service events!

EE Graduate Seminar

Thesis/Dissertation Accomplished: How To Do It!

Wendy Y. Carter-Veale, Ph.D.

Program Coordinator, PhD Completion Project/PROMISE
Director, Educational Research Institute
Sorry, you need javascript to view this email address.

11:30am-12:45pm, Friday 23 September 11, ITE 231

It is very important for graduate students, MS/PhD, to understand and be prepared for the thesis/dissertation process. The structure of and writing the thesis/dissertation is a major component of this process, and usually not given adequate attention until much later in the educational program.

Dr. Wendy Carter, as Program Coordinator for the PhD Completion Project/PROMISE here at UMBC, leads workshops on the thesis/dissertation process, both at UMBC and UMCP, and at various professional meetings. She will provide an overview of the tools, strategies, and resources that she has designed (www.tadafinallyfinished.com) to empower students to complete their thesis/dissertation based on the individual's schedule and temperament.

Dr. Carter has a BA and MA from Stanford University, a MS in Management and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University, and a MS and the PhD in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Host: Prof. Joel M. Morris
