The Women in Engineering Program (WEP) is an academic support unit of the College of Engineering.
WEP serves undergraduate and graduate women, faculty, alumnae, and undertakes extensive programming
that supports the College mission, vision, and goals. Programming emphasizes active learning, academic
achievement, leadership development, and community building. As such, it provides services and information
that address its mission to recruit women into engineering, to facilitate the development of women engineers
through advocacy and action, and to actively promote an equitable and productive learning and work environment
within the College of Engineering. Activities include academic assistance, developmental course work, career
development, industry networking, climate enhancement, mentoring, leadership development, scholarship, and
fellowship support, information dissemination, research into gender and assessment issues in engineering
education and an external Advisory Board. WEP also offers an extensive program of K-12 camps and workshops,
providing leadership opportunities for current students as it encourages future generations of engineers.
