2. Upcoming WISH Activities

Lean In Circle: Privilege & Intersectionality
When: Tuesday 11/17/2015, 6pm-7pm
Where: Bldg. 14, Rm. 232B

When we talk about women involved in software and hardware, we're not all talking about the same person. Our experiences and backgrounds shape our perspectives in tech and create unique struggles for each of us.

In this Lean In circle, we'll be discussing privilege and intersectionality in computing fields. We will share and relate our experiences from all aspects of gender, race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, age, and so much more. Lastly, we will discuss the best ways that allies can support underrepresented groups in tech.

This Lean In circle is open to everyone, regardless of gender (as are all WISH events in general).

This is a “Design and Build” class aimed at practical technologies for world’s poor, but also emphasizes innovation, societal context, and empathic design. In the past, there has been a considerable number of engineering students working along side Arts students, each benefitting from the interdisciplinary exposure. A great technical elective option for engineering students.

In this hands-on class you will work in teams to revise and improve Solar Powered Educational Learning Library kits that disseminate educational materials over an off-line Wi-Fi hotspot. Last year, we designed, built, and deployed 50 SPELL libraries! We also discovered plenty of room for improvement so that the project can expand. Are you up for the challenge?

To Enroll: This Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies (LAES) 411 class is open to all Cal Poly students with Junior standing or above.  Admission by instructor approval only.

9.  Order of the Engineer Ceremony | December 11 | 4 – 6pm | Bldg 007

The Order of the Engineer is an association for graduate and professional engineers in the United States, it emphasizes pride and responsibility in the engineering profession. This is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead, the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one's pledge.

At the ceremony, you will take an oath in which you promise to be an ethical engineer. Then, Dean Larson will induct you with a ring and certificate. The ring is worn on your pinky finger of your dominate hand. It will make a *clink* noise when you sign your name on documents which will remind you to always be an ethical engineer.

For more information about the Order: http://www.order-of-the-engineer.org

You can register at the link below, the Engineering Dean's Office or the ESC table in front of the library.
