Please join ASME for the 2nd annual Increasing Women in Mechanical Engineering (iWME) conference. This conference, the only of its kind, aims to examine, challenge, and discuss engineering education practices and culture as key elements in increasing the number of women in mechanical engineering. Last year’s conference focused on laying the groundwork for identifying the issues , current statistics on women in ME and MET, as well as the current climate and culture for retention and recruitment of ME and MET women in academia and industry. This year’s conference will focus on highlighting initiatives that have increased the number of women in their programs and discuss how these approaches can be implemented across other academic programs and in industry. Join ASME and the NSF INCLUDES National Network as we engage leaders working on broadening participation in engineering, academic, industry, and nonprofit community. |
