The October SWE meeting will be at 6:30pm on Monday, October 2nd. We will be meeting at JR Engineering: 4310 Arrowswest Dr, 80907 (Garden of the Gods and 30th). The topic is "Life of a semiconductor/fab engineer". The presenters are Aimee Smith and Civa Mause from Intel. They will be giving this presentation at the national SWE conference in Kansas City in mid-October.
Abstract: We've often heard of the 'fab' or fabrication area as referenced to the semiconductor industry. This presentation will dispel the 'mystery' of the fab and explain what takes place in there. What is a wafer and what material does it consist of? What areas are in the fab, what happens to the wafers in each area, what machines are used? The various ways we ensure quality product and reduce miss-process will be discussed. It will also discuss the transition of wafer sizes to 300mm and challenges to the process as die sizes get smaller.

The fall camp in for Girl Scouts at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is about engineering, based on the newest exhibit to open at the museum, Engineer It! . Women engineers are needed to be a part of the evening program on Friday, October 27 from 6 - 10 p.m. . Female Engineers will serve as real-life examples to young girls in grades 3-6th by participating in an "Ask an Engineer" session with the Girl Scouts from 6:15-6:45 and/or 9:30-10:00 p.m. Female Engineers will share with the girls what their job is like as an engineer and discuss the education they needed to get there, then field questions from the Girl Scouts. Between 7- 9 p.m., engineers can tag along with smaller groups of Girl Scouts while they attend hands-on workshops to add their expertise...and have some fun!
