Day on Campus

Would you like to experience a day at Ohio State? We will set you up with an undergraduate woman engineer to spend the day with. She will take you to her classes, show you around campus, and answer questions you may have about Ohio State and engineering. Simply contact the WiE program (wie@osu.edu) at Ohio State and we will set up your Day on Campus.


Women in Engineering Preview Day

Are you a woman interested in engineering? Meet with OSU Engineering faculty, staff, advisors, and students to learn what being a “Woman in Engineering” at Ohio State is all about!  All female senior high school students and their parents are invited to participate in this semi-annual event, which is designed to introduce prospective students to the engineering departments, the first–year program, the Learning Communities (housing) , and campus.  More information on the next preview day to be posted soon.



Summer Workshop

Learn about Engineering and Ohio State by spending a week on campus. Women accepted to Ohio State with a major in Engineering are eligible to spend one week at Ohio State learning all about engineering and Ohio State. This gives the women an opportunity to meet other women who will be studying engineering at Ohio State in the autumn, meet engineering faculty, learn about the different engineering programs, work in groups on engineering experiments, get to know the OSU campus, and have fun!! Applications will be sent out in early Spring to all women accepted to engineering at OSU for Autumn 2008.

Engineers in Motion

Each summer, the College of Engineering hosts a week-long workshop called “Engineers in Motion” for male and female students who have completed the 9th or 10th grade. The program introduces participants to fundamental skills that improve their chances for success in engineering courses and their future careers through hands-on activities. Students will live on campus during this week. For more information visit http://wie.eng.ohio-state.edu/EIM.htm or contact WiE outreach at wieoutreach@osu.edu Glenda La Rue at (614) 688-4137 or la-rue.10@osu.edu

A Premier Partnership - Sponsor of Engineers in Motion

In 2000, Honda and OSU embarked upon the premier partnership—an unparalleled, bilateral collaboration between university and industry that spans initiatives in education, research and public service. Today the Honda-OSU Partnership positively impacts diverse audiences of students, faculty, public and private sector practitioners, and the transportation industry as a whole.

Peer Mentor Program

The WiE programs offers the engineering women coming to OSU in the autumn to be paired with an upper class engineering student and a professional engineer. This pairing allows incoming students the opportunity to have someone to ask all of the many questions they have throughout their years at OSU, and the opportunity to meet other incoming students through the Peer Mentor activities. Applications are sent out to all women accepted to engineering at OSU in the spring, so watch the mail if you are interested!
