She was recognized at the Women in Technology Awards at the WITF Media Center in Harrisburg this past September.
“Etown Engineering has broadened my horizons not only through an engaging curriculum but also via hands-on projects and immersive experiences,” Barlow said. “Being the president of SWE allows me to help others navigate their engineering experience and support the incoming generations of women in engineering through SWE events.”
After graduation, Barlow plans to attend graduate school to obtain her master’s in engineering with the goal of contributing to cancer research and improving technology in the medical field.

“The extracurriculars at Etown give me first-hand experience on the proper ethics and skills required for engineering,” Steward said. “Since I’m the secretary for SWE, it’s given me the ability to gain leadership and management skills through the internships and scholarships this program provides.”
After graduation, Stewart plans to seek an engineering position within live entertainment.
