Women will help shape the future of engineering and make major contributions to our society. But before considering a career in this male-dominated field, you need to know:  What do engineers really do?

This summer you can find out in a fun, learn-by-doing atmosphere when you attend the second Girls Experiencing Engineering (GEE) program at the Herff College of Engineering at the University of Memphis.

Through hands-on projects, middle school girls will discover what engineers do and how skills such as creative thinking, problem solving and communications can contribute to their future success.

At GEE students will meet women engineers, who will share information about their educational paths and careers, including the excellent salary prospects for females who choose this profession.

Attend this fun-filled, exciting program. You'll leave with a passion for technology and information that will lead you to a rewarding career where you can make a difference.

Girls living in Memphis/Shelby County are eligible to attend GEE, and as well as math and science teachers may participate.
