The Team Tech Competition
In 1992, the Society of Women Engineers launched a new National Collegiate Section Competition sponsored by The Boeing Company called "Team Tech." The competition was established to emphasize the key role of teamwork and interface with industry in the engineering educational process. A team from every region will be sponsored to compete at the SWE National Conference in October, where a panel of judges will review oral presentations along with previously submitted team reports. Team Tech Competition winners will be announced at the Celebrate SWE! banquet and will receive monetary prizes for both team members and their respective SWE Student Sections.
UCSD Team Tech
The first Team Tech at the University of California, San Diego was formed in 2011 by two officers of the UCSD Chapter of the Society of Women Engineers who wanted their members to have more exposure and experience in technical and hands-on engineering. Their vision was realized with the team of 2011-2012 and their first industry partner Life Technologies, Inc. Since its inception on the UCSD campus, Team Tech has grown in its following, and each team continues to strive for achievement in the Team Tech Competition.
