Women In Engineering

IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) is a global network of IEEE members and volunteers dedicated to promoting women engineers, scientists and inspiring girls around the world to follow their academic interests in a career in engineering and science.

Our goal is to facilitate the recruitment and retention of women in technical disciplines globally. We envision a vibrant community of IEEE women and men collectively using their diverse talents to innovate for the benefit of humanity.

IEEE WIE Strives to:

• Provide assistance with the formation of new IEEE WIE Affinity Groups and support ongoing activities.
• Recognize the outstanding achievements of women in electrical and electronics engineering through IEEE Awards nominations.
• Organize workshops at major technical conferences to enhance networking and to promote membership in IEEE WIE.
• Advocate women in leadership roles in IEEE governance and career advancement for women in the profession.
• Promote member grade advancement for women to the IEEE membership grades of Senior Member and Fellow.
• Facilitate the development of programs and activities that promote the entry into, and retention of, women in engineering programs.
• Administer the IEEE Student-Teacher and Research Engineer/Scientist (STAR) Program to mentor young women in junior high and high schools.
