SAWomEng Gala Dinner
SAWomEng Gala Dinner
Unilever embarked on a national campaign to create awareness about engineering to the female population. Sixty female engineering students were invited to participate in the 7th annual SAWomEng Conference, which took place in KZN on Sunday, 8 July at the Coastlands Hotel.
On Monday, 9 July the students were hosted at Unilever's Indonsa factory in KZN where they were challenged with a real life case study offering them practical knowledge and tangible experience. Unilever provided mentorship to the students for the duration of the project.
Female engineering students from various tertiary institutions across South Africa participated in a technical project designed to incubate their engineering minds and challenge their way of thinking when tackling problems. The projects were assessed by a panel of judges.
The first prize winner of the case study is Lauren Stewart from the University of Stellenbosch followed by Roxanne Mans from the University of KwaZulu Natal in second place.
