The Women in Engineering Workshop (WIE) allows high school freshman/sophomore/junior women, who are academically talented in mathematics and/or science, the opportunity to investigate careers in engineering and science. Practicing women engineers from industry and the government, educators, and university faculty lead informational sessions and discussions. Each session includes sessions in ten engineering fields, a laboratory experience, a team engineering project, and time to interact formally and informally with role models and talented peers.
