UC Davis Women in Engineering

WIE's Mission

Women in Engineering (WIE) program was established in 1990 to address issues facing women studying to become engineers. WIE has focused attention on changing the academic environment for women in engineering by researching barriers to their success and developing programs that reduce or eliminate these barriers. Our programs for students focus on participating in their engineering education from the pre-college through the graduate level.

Program Goals

To encourage women to pursue advanced degrees in engineering. To provide a supportive environment and opportunities for women. To provide students with activities that reinforce and enhance their interest in engineering.
