The Women's Engineering
Program provides you, a current undergraduate, with the opportunity to
develop a relationship with women who have more experience in engineering
than you do, whether that person is a fellow undergraduate, a graduate
student, or an alumna. Through these relationships you can learn more
about your chosen field of study while receiving helpful advice on developing
a fulfilling educational program and career path.
You may participate in three ways:
Through the dorm-based mentor community.
Upperclass

Develop
a mentor relationship with an alumna. The Women's Engineering
Program has a list of nearly 200 alumnae who have volunteered to be mentors
to current students. We will do our best to match you with a mentor who
shares your interests, whether that involves a particular engineering
discipline , a particular employer, or a particular locale. Please be
sure to tell us everything that is important to you in a mentor, so that
we can select from volunteers appropriately.
Most of these alumnae relationships will take place via e-mail. However,
if you live close to your mentor, it may be possible to make more personal
contact with her over one of your breaks -- having lunch or touring her
place of employment, etc.

Using the Notre Dame Alumni Association's "Irish Online" alumni database, the Career Center has established a mentor/networking program with alumni volunteers. To register for the program, you must receive an access code from the Career Center.
