Raytheon 

     On Wednesday, 9th of October, 10 of us attended the SHPE professional meeting at Raytheon. It is always amazing to attend these type of meetings because before the meeting, we have a tour of the company. This time, they allowed us into their lab in which they were developing a ship simulator. They didn't allowed any pictures, of course, but it was literally inside a ship's command deck. There were about 10 big screens on the wall that simulated the outside of a ship, and they were running a ship simulator on those screens. They allowed me to sit in those comfortable chair and enjoy the "ride". 

     After all the Q's and A's, we went into the conference room. we talked about what every SHPE chapter has been doing so far in the semester, as well what future plans we all have. we have done so far: one taco sale, two professional meetings, plans for outreach, and happy people in our meetings. 

     Please remember, you are always welcome to our SWC meetings, but if you're really interested in SHPE, you should get the SHPE membership for only $10 a year. They allow you to attend conferences and several other events.
