Women in Engineering (WiE)
Breaking down gender stereotypes within engineering by providing opportunities for young girls and women
Instagram | Facebook | Email | LinkedIn
As many people know, there is a lack of women deciding to study or choose a career in engineering. Women in Engineering Society aims to break down stereotypes, and showcase what engineering is and how interesting and rewarding it can be. We hope to combat barriers facing girls and women in engineering and encourage both men and women to show their support. After all this is not just a women's issue.
For students at the university we have regular socials which help create a community of female engineers across the faculty. We provide a platform to showcase female faculty members and industry partners through our talks series: How Women are Changing the World through Engineering. We also engage with young girls at local schools through our outreach workshops, showing them how exciting and rewarding engineering is.
