Eastern Nebraska Section

The Eastern Nebraska Professional Section meets monthly throughout the year in addition to publishing a monthly newsletter.  Meeting topics include professional development, work-life balance, networking, and technical presentations, as well as volunteering.

The Section sponsors one or two Girl Scout events each year, introducing them to the different engineering fields.  At each event these girls, ages 9 - 15, perform hands-on activities such as making a polymer, building a bridge, building circuits, and many other exciting activities. 

The Section each year awards Certificates of Merit to over 100 students in 33 high schools in Omaha and the surrounding communities

In 2007, the Section launched the first Wow! That’s Engineering! event.  Wow! That’s Engineering! creates an experience for middle and high school girls where they have the opportunity to meet female engineers and technologists and hear first-hand about these exciting career paths. Women engineers and technologists present interactive activities and the girls experience the creativity and innovation that goes on in the field of engineering.  Visit our website to learn about our future Wow! That’s Engineering events.
