    FY18 ANNUAL REPORT Always Connecting…Always Engineering. Karen Horting In FY18, SWE’s professional development and FY18 Executive Director and CEO scholarship programs expanded, and further efforts were made to educate and engage the future generation of STEM leaders. In FY18, SWE, volunteer leadership, members, staff and supporters ensured Jonna Gerken that SWE members, and other women in engineering FY18 President and technology, were Always Connecting…Always Engineering. SWE Scholarships Continue to Support Women in STEM At WE17, TE Connectivity Ltd., a world leader in connectivity and sensors, made a $100K contribution to the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to provide scholarships for women and girls pursing engineering degrees. This generous contribution rounded out more than $830,000 in scholarships awarded to 255 collegiate women in FY18. SWE Comics Educate Future Engineers In FY18, SWE released the second issue of Constance & Nano Engineering Adventure! This educational engineering comic engaged our future generation of engineers, demonstrating how fun solving problems with science, engineering, technology and math can be. To celebrate the launch, SWE and United Technologies held a comic challenge for a chance to be drawn into the issue. Seventh Grade SWENexter, Angel Chukwudi, from Abuja, Nigeria, won the challenge and flew to the United States to join SWE at WE17 for the comic book launch. SWE’s Local Events Expand SWE’s local conference program, WE Local, expanded to seven conferences across the globe in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Phoenix, Arizona; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Portland, Oregon; Providence, Rhode Island; Pune, India; and Prague, Czech Republic. More than 3,000 women in engineering attended the conferences for professional development, career advancement, networking and inspiration.

  • History of Ceramic Engineering by Someone Who Has Been There for About Half of It
    History of Ceramic Engineering by Someone Who Has Been There for About Half of It Dennis. W. Readey Colorado School of Mines Faculty Senate Distinguished Lecture March 26, 2008 Golden, CO INTRODUCTION Motivation and Scope The reasons for choosing this topic are: the title is close to being true; a similar paper was written in 1988,[1] and a couple of others earlier,[2,3]; and it is of interest to examine the current status of ceramic engineering education some 20 years later. More directly, I have a vested interest in that I was the sixth, and last, ceramic engineering department chair at The Ohio State University where Edward Orton, Jr. founded ceramic engineering as a distinct engineering discipline in 1894 and was its first chair. The focus, comments, and evaluations are relative to the clearly identifiable BS ceramic engineering degree because that is the level program that started as a separate academic discipline and continues today. In addition, the status and viability of the relatively small number—and curricularly similar—BS ceramic engineering programs whose genealogy goes back to the beginning can be easily evaluated. In contrast, the much larger spectrum of diverse and significant graduate level ceramics research and education efforts—mainly in materials science and engineering programs—have many different origins, most unrelated to the founding of the discipline, and are not always easily identified as ceramics. For the Colorado School of Mines, the interactions between ceramic engineering, and some of its notable persons, with Colorado is of particular interest. For example, there is Mount Orton in Rocky Mountain National Park that presumably was named after Edward Orton, Jr.,[4,5] and the interesting questions are why and how it was so named.
