RAMP Engineering Intern Program
Western Digital is still looking for juniors (graduating in Dec 2019 or Spring 2020) that are majoring in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering to fill some internships we have in Milpitas, CA and South San Jose, CA. There are some software developer openings as well as openings in firmware and hardware. Anyone interested is asked to apply online and can reach out to me directly to let me know that they’ve applied. I will then alert my recruiter colleagues that they have applied and that should get them an immediate phone screen. Contact CorporateVP@swetamu.org after applying to receive an immediate phone screening.
SWE Outreach
About Outreach
SWE Outreach is a program designed to teach K-12 students about engineering through engaging hands-on activities. Outreach is composed of three components: Inspire, Engage, and SWENext.
Inspire
SWE Inspire is a program for elementary students where SWE members travel to local elementary schools to perform science demonstrations and engage in experiments with students. SWE members also help facilitate friendly engineering competitions among the elementary school groups. The purpose of this program is to foster an early interest in STEM fields and inspire elementary school students to pursue engineering.
Engage
SWE Engage allows SWE members to volunteer at local middle schools in the College Station area to teach students about coding logic and the different engineering disciplines. Each session will involve middle school students getting experience with digital and/or hands-on engineering challenges. The purpose of this program is for middle school students to engage and foster interest in coding and engineering.
SWENext
SWENext is a program that targets high school students looking to explore various engineering fields for their next steps in life. SWE members at Texas A&M will offer virtual panels for high school students to show off what it is like to be a student in engineering. In SWENext, high school students will learn about the plethora of engineering disciplines, hear about different industries, and ask SWENext members questions through a virtual student panel. SWENext offers high school students insight to STEM degrees and opportunities both in and after college.
If you have a question regarding any of these programs, please reach out to our Outreach officers at outreach@swetamu.org.
Officers
Samantha Jones
Howdy! My name is Samantha Jones and I am a sophomore General Engineering major from Brownsville, TX. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, listening to music, playing the violin, and reading. I joined SWE during my freshman year as a SWElite on the Service Committee. I was also a part of the Communications Committee for STEMfest, an HSC volunteer, a Big/Little member, and a FLAME member. This year, I will be serving as one of the Outreach Co-Chairs, and I could not be more grateful and excited! I cannot wait to get started and have a productive, impactful year.
Carolina Negrete
Howdy! My name is Carolina Negrete, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Humble, TX. During my freshman year I was a member of the SWElites and a member of its corresponding professional development committee. My experience with interacting within the SWE network inspired me to pursue leadership as the Co-chair of SWE Outreach. Additionally, I'm an avid reader, connoisseur of Broadway musicals and cat enthusiast. When I'm not busy I enjoy gardening and playing with my cat, Obi-wan. I'm very much looking forward to an amazing year filled with awesome memories, inspiring and serving others.
