Collection for SWE Supporters

One of the largest and strongest student organizations we have on campus is our Society of Women Engineers (SWE) – Michigan Tech.

For over six decades, SWE has given women engineers a unique place and voice within the engineering industry. SWE is centered around a passion for our members’ success and continues to evolve with the challenges and opportunities reflected in today’s exciting engineering and technology specialties.

Every year, corporate sponsorship helps ensure that these students get to strive toward advancing their goals of Intergrity, Respect, Mutual Support, and Professional Excellence.

To help recognize these sponsors, a new Collection has been created in Handshake to highlight jobs available at these companies. Please use the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Supporters collection as a way to get your job search started.

Building a Career in Steel: How a Michigan Tech Alum Found Her Path at Nucor

In this episode of Husky Careers: Unleashed, host Ryan Thompson chats with Michigan Tech alumna Jenna Davids, who graduated in 2019 with a civil engineering degree and now works as an engineering supervisor at Nucor’s Insulated Panel Group. Jenna shares her journey from civil engineering student to leader in the steel industry, highlighting the importance of internships, mentorship, and company culture along the way.

Discovering Opportunities Through Internships

Jenna completed three internships while at Tech, each shaping her career path in different ways. A freshman internship in manufacturing gave her valuable experience, while her second role in road construction confirmed her interest in hands-on work. Her third internship with Nucor happened almost by accident. She approached their booth at Career Fair just to practice, and that conversation, along with her request for feedback, led to an internship offer.
