Women Engineers Help Girl Scouts

by Press Release-Rowan University | Apr 13, 2002
Women Engineers Help Girl Scouts Members of Rowan University’s Society for Women in Engineering (SWE) are working with Glassboro Girl Scouts to help them obtain an engineering merit badge and give them a taste of engineering life.

On Friday, April 19, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. and on Friday, May 3, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. in Rowan Hall, the Rowan Engineering students and the Girls Scouts will complete hands-on engineering projects.

The Girls Scouts will work with the Rowan students to:

-- Make their own all-natural lip gloss, a chemical engineering process, and conduct a label check of other cosmetics to determine what ingredients could be potentially hazardous if ingested or not used properly

-- Make a polymer (“goo” or “slime”)

-- Design and build a computerized bridge and then drive a computerized truck across it to test its strength

-- Conduct reverse engineering, dismantling appliances to see how they are constructed

-- Complete a circuit (such as a doorbell)
