The mission of the Women in Engineering Program is to challenge and support female engineering students academically, socially, and professionally.  To that end, WIE supports the following existing programs:

• Society of Women Engineers (SWE)

            WiE supports K-State SWE activities to encourage the development of women into active, informed, and connected engineers, ready to become successful professionals and leaders. WiE provides funding for campus activities to promote networking and connection between women student engineers, faculty, and established professionals.  WiE also provides funding for travel to the national SWE conference where K-State student engineers have opportunities to connect with corporations and attend programs to encourage women in engineering.

• Scholars Assisting Scholars (SAS) Tutoring
   

            The SAS tutoring program provides engineering students as tutors to students in science, math and engineering classes.  The program is housed in the Carter Learning Center in Durland Hall.  WiE plans to expand the program and increase the number of tutors and classes offered in the program.

• CONNECT

            WiE produces an electronic newsletter (CONNECT) for families of engineering students.  The newsletter keeps families informed of activities within the college and university and important academic calendar dates.  CONNECT also provides suggestions and helpful tips on how families can encourage and support their student engineers.

New Programs:

• Women in Engineering Mentoring Program with SWE

            WiE will be partnering with SWE to support a mentoring program for female engineering students.  First- and second-year students will be matched with upperclassmen in their department to participate in a variety of social, professional, and academic activities.
