Advancing Women in Science and Engineering

Advancing Women in Science and Engineering (AWiSE) was initiated in response to the dichotomy that within the professional sector women are less likely to enter science and engineering careers, are underrepresented in leadership roles and are far less likely than their male counterparts to become patent holders (women represent 5.5% of commercialized or licensed patent holders). AWiSE aims to provide a forum for candid conversations to address these concerns and offer training and education to mitigate similar circumstances once our graduates enter the professional sector. We are fortunate to have an impressive network of successful female mentors who are leaders in the science, engineering and business sectors and AWiSE program focuses on educational seminars, networking and mentorship opportunities.
