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 a laboratory experience, a team engineering project, and time to interact formally and informally with role models and talented peers.

This is a nice opportunity for high school students to learn more about career opportunities in the engineering field. It is so hard to make career choices and having this experience seems like it would be very beneficial to students who are interested in this field.
