yeSWEcan is an introduction to essential software engineering tools that are often overlooked when joining technical clubs, research/academic projects, and internships. These tools, such as Git, Docker, AWS, Servers, VMs, and more, are often hidden prerequisites for getting into technical clubs, internships, and etc. If you are at all thinking about applying to a tech club or have no idea what these tools are, yeSWEcan is for you!


When we piloted it in Fall 2023, we had 60+ enrolled students who engaged in our weekly lectures + hands-on coding exercises on Friday and our final project assignment! We received great feedback on the industry knowledge gain + some constructive feedback that we are incorporating for our 2nd iteration.
