Hundreds of students benefit each year from participation in Women in Engineering Program (WEP) and
Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP) engineering outreach activities.
Alumni and companies provide design activities, funding, and mentors for these activities. Benefits include:
- Early connections with student participants that help to increase the flow of talented students into
the engineering pipeline
- Opportunities to work directly with students preparing or offering design and team building projects
CURRENT ACTIVITIES
- WEPO, the Women in Engineering Program Orientation, offers a one-day design project
each year that prepares first-year women for success in the engineering curriculum.
- Visit in Engineering Week (VIEW) offers three one-week programs of engineering and
college prep activities for motivated mathematically talented students presently in the 9th, 10th, or
11th grades of high school. It is designed to encourage greater participation of ethnic students in
engineering.
- Move the Mountain (MTM), a hands-on day camp, offers modules designed to introduce
high school girls to engineering through interdisciplinary topics. Students can attend one, two, three, four
or all modules.
- Girl Scout Saturdays, monthly workshops, bring in girls to work on engineering
projects led by upper-level women engineering students.
