WIE Teach is an event where middle school girls come to Rowan and spend the day learning engineering concepts taught by Rowan engineering students. The girls are then given various examinations or tasks to test their new knowledge. The Rowan engineers are graded on how well they teach the concepts and how much the students retain.
Wearable Electronics is a competition where Rowan engineering students divide into teams and are given the task to create accessories that light up, have a pleasing appearance, and incorporate advanced coding techniques. There is both a kit competition where we provide all of the materials that are allowed to be used, and a scratch competition where participants may use whatever technology and components that they chose. The final designs are modeled by professors and are scored based on visual appeal and complexity.
SeaPerch is a program where we send two to three Rowan engineers to a local middle school each week to assist the students in building underwater remote operated vehicles. We help them through the entire process, including design, construction, soldering, and analyzing the buoyancy principles of each specific model. Last year, the team that we aided through the entire process placed first in the open category at the final competition.
We are always looking for new volunteers to go to the middle school and teach the students various engineering principles required to construct their underwater vehicle. If you are interested, you can find the sign up form in the FORMS tab!
This is an event held yearly in the fall semester where members of engineering clubs on campus verse their professors in fun activities and trivia. In the past, we have done elevator pitches, obstacle courses, and much more.
At the end, the winners get to pie the losers in the face!
Arts and Engineering is a brand new competition that first happened in January 2019.
Teams of both engineering and art students will come together to make a visually stunning piece of work that incorporates lights or movement. The final products will be displayed in the art gallery on campus to be judged on aesthetic as well as functionality.
