SPECIAL EVENTS
Special Session: Women in Engineering (WIE)
Fostering Better Use of the Talent Pool of Women
in Science and Engineering

The Women in Engineering (WIE) Session is meant to provide an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas and information on topics specific to women in the engineering field. Session topics include:

• How to prepare high school girls to make an unprejudiced choice regarding their study and careers in science and engineering.
• How to address and minimize the academic “pipe leakage” phenomena.
• How to overcome barriers for the advancement of women already working in science and engineering.
• How to combine a career with family life.

We hope that the WIE Session will help foster efforts to strengthen and increase the interest of women in science and engineering fields. We encourage all members of the IEEE NSS and MIC communities to attend.
