SU/WB offering omen In Sciences Penn State Wilkes-Barre is currently accepting registrations for its first Women in the Sci- ences and Engineering (WISE) program. Underwritten by Procter and Gamble’s Live, Learn and Thrive grant, Penn State Wilkes-Barre is accepting 20 women into the program at no cost. This three- day camp on alternative energy is open to young women cur- rently in grades six through eight and will be held on cam- pus under the leadership of Dr. Wes Grebski, Associate Profes- sor of Engineering. During this three-day pro- gram, middle school girls will gain hands-on knowledge and experience with current energy issues. Beginning with a discus- sion on what energy is, where it comes from and what “renew- able energy” means, participants will build solar ovens and de- vices for brewing tea using the sun. Day two of the program em- phasizes the importance of jobs in the energy field and how to go after those jobs. Dr. Jon Carson, Associate Professor of Engineer- ing, will discuss the educational aspect of engineering, engineer- ing versus engineering technol- ogy and keys to success such as critical thinking, math skills, what courses to take in high school and the applications of modern science as a tool in engi- neering. Gerri Wall, career counselor at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, will talk about getting a head start on potential engineering ca- reers, share guidance resources on the Internet, help WISE par- ticipants get a head start on building an effective resume, and how to explore other op- tions in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The final day of the program includes a field trip to Penn State Hazleton to see a photo- voltaic power station, experi- mental wind turbine and a full- sized solar powered car. From the Hazleton campus, students will also see a working wind farm. The primary mission of the Wise Institute is to facilitate the entry and success of women in STEM fields in an environment promoting gender equity by co- ordinating efforts throughout Penn State, creating opportuni- ties for women of diverse back- grounds to thrive in STEM fields, mentoring individuals and promoting institutional and cultural change.
