The PepsiCo team planned a fun hands on activity where student stepped into the shoes of PepsiCo engineers to solve a real-life problem.

Thanks to the PepsiCo team for volunteering their time and for sharing the expertise with the next generation of engineers!

Dallas SWE has once again demonstrated its commitment to professional development and leadership in the engineering community through our participation at multiple WELocal Conferences. This year, our members actively participated in various WELocal conferences, sharing their knowledge and continuing to build relationships at these collaborative events.
WE Local conferences are designed to bring the excitement, energy, and learning environment of SWE’s annual conference—WE Conference—directly to local communities. These events provide opportunities for networking, professional development, and sharing of technical knowledge in a more intimate setting.
Dallas SWE members attended WE Local conferences in multiple cities, including:
Our members took advantage of the numerous networking opportunities, engaging with fellow engineers, industry leaders, and students. These interactions have not only expanded their professional networks but also fostered a greater sense of community and collaboration within the SWE organization.
Several Dallas SWE members were selected to present their work and share their expertise at these conferences. Their presentations covered a wide range of topics, showcasing the diverse talents and knowledge within our chapter. Highlights include:
Dallas SWE remains committed to supporting our members in their professional journeys. We encourage all members to consider presenting at upcoming events and to take advantage of the myriad learning and networking opportunities that these conferences offer.
