Pages: 2 - 3 Abstract: Many young people join IEEE and IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) because they are told it will be good for their career advancement and will offer them great networking opportunities. Although this may be the hook that attracts them to join as students, it is the impactful experiences they participate in that keep them engaged as members long after they have earned their first degree.

Pages: 10 - 13 Abstract: Katherine (Kit) August calls herself “an artist gone engineering,” and she is looking to recruit. Trained in communications design yet having spent the bulk of her career in laboratories and research institutes, August has always moved seamlessly between the creative and analytical sides of her skill set. When asked how others can recognize an aptitude for being both left- and right-brained, she jokes, “I try to remind people to bring their entire brain everywhere they go.” PubDate:

Pages: 13 - 16 Abstract: “I feel like every opportunity is an opportunity to change somebody’s life for the better.” That is the philosophy that guides Brandi Burnett of Northrop Grumman, and it is the approach she took when deciding the topic for her presentation at the IEEE Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) Student Leadership Conference (SLC) in October 2022. She opted to speak about sustainability, an area that matters deeply to this generation of students as well as to her personally. PubDate:

Pages: 26 - 29 Abstract: In 2005, sexuality educator A’magine was traveling throughout New York with four other gynecological teaching associates (GTAs), each using their own bodies to teach those training in the medical field how to perform breast and pelvic exams. The work of GTAs, unknown to many outside of the medical sphere, is a very intimate transactional experience that provides future doctors, nurses, and physician assistants the ability to practice their clinical skills while receiving critical feedback from a responsive professional. A’magine knew that the work they were doing would make a compelling documentary, and so she assembled a team. PubDate:

Pages: 30 - 33 Abstract: There’s the expression “when one door closes, another opens” (attributed to Alexander Graham Bell!) and also the one about looking for a window instead, both meant to signify that the next opportunity is right around the corner. For Loderay Bracero Marrero, the expression might as well be, “When you see a door, open it.” The Ph.D., IEEE volunteer, and interdisciplinary climate change researcher has not been shy about asking for a chance when she sees an opportunity, a tactic that has helped further her studies, her career, and her community—because that same initiative connected her to an impactful role as a volunteer with IEEE’s MOVE program.

Pages: 33 - 36 Abstract: As we aim to hear more from women in engineering, to give them a louder voice in the field, and offer them a brighter, clearer platform, IEEE is making an investment in women, students, and those hoping to join the field. IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) is building a cohort of experts who are educating and mentoring the future of the industry, students who are eager to learn, help others, and gain meaningful experiences that will stick with them for a lifetime.

Although the “Thriving” in the name refers to the students themselves, the program itself could be considered to be, well, thriving, with impressive results after just a short while. PubDate:

Pages: 47 - 48 Abstract: Diversity is essential for problem solving in engineering as it yields better solutions and new ideas. However, including women in this field has encountered several challenges. Early childhood is a critical window when girls form ideas about what they can do. For this reason, it is necessary to educate parents on the potential opportunities for women in engineering. Similarly, teachers must nurture an interest in girls during primary school. For example, girls in science classrooms often ask few questions and do not participate in classroom discussions. Teachers need to create a learning environment where girls feel a sense of belonging. Only 14% of professors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department are female. The MIT Women’s Technology Program is a summer internship that introduces high school female students to team-based projects. PubDate:
