With our COMPES (Coalition of Minority Professional Engineering
Societies) connections in Detroit, we hold joint functions with Detroit
’s NSBE and SHPE chapters. These events include our annual holiday
party, as well as a general meeting discussing diversity issues.

MEMBER MENTOR PROGRAM
We
all have something to learn from fellow women engineers. We all have
something we can offer them too. If you are willing to share
experiences, insight and knowledge, if you can be open and honest, or
if you want to gain personal satisfaction by developing fellow
colleagues, you are a good candidate for developing a mentoring
relationship.
A peer mentoring relationship is
a partnership in which two people share work and life experiences to
support and help one another. The goals of the paired employees may
range from work to work life balance to SWE. This peer-mentoring
program is designed to provide a forum to discuss topics important to
each member of the pair, be heard, to increase knowledge through
sharing and develop solutions when the situation merits. Peer mentoring
is about sharing experiences and developing relationships within the
SWE community. Each peer mentoring pair will develop its own goals
based on both mentors wants and needs.
