The overview sessions include a discussion of the field of engineering by Dr. Max Rose of the Dixie College Science Department that will help students who think they may be interested in engineering and dont know just what specific area to begin exploring.

Mrs. Fitzell will explore some traditional careers and statistics on how many women will eventually need to be working, which should prove valuable to any interested young woman. non-woma- n |
