For the second year in a row, the conference will also host the Women’s Leadership Forum, an hour-long panel session for students to ask questions of and get advice from accomplished women in the fields of engineering and technology. That will be Thursday, Sept. 18 at 4:00 p.m. in the lounge of the Crabtree Technology Building, and is co-sponsored by the BYU Society of Women Engineers and ACET.
