Day with Industry is a career fair that happens before Purdue’s engineering career fair,
Industrial Roundtable. PSWE will be working with other minority engineering organizations (National
Society of Black Engineers, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the Society of Mexican American
Engineers and Scientists, and the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers) to plan this career fair that
gathers a diverse group of engineering students at Purdue. This year, Day with Industry will be in-person
with a pending hybrid option based on demand.

Networking Night is an networking and professional seminar where students have a chance to
learn professional skills from company members and talk one-on-one with company representatives.
Company representatives have the chance to interact with both PSWE members and other engineering
students. The event focuses on preparing students for industry and can be a great method of networking for
both students and companies. Students have the option to sign up for a half-hour virtual mock interview
with a company representative where they practice questions that might be asked during a real interview.
