Each individual group will then form a virtual company specialized in a particular aspect of the product design cycle. Presented by Lueny Morell of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, the workshop will examine efforts in recruitment and retention of women in non-traditional professions, such as engineering. During the last decade, the percentage of women studying engineering at the College of Engineering of the University of Puerto Rico has consistently increased, reaching levels that surpass those of the United States. The College of Engineering is currently conducting a study with the University of Texas at El Paso to determine the reason for this phenomenon, which will be shared at the presentation. The workshops are free but registration is required.
Enrollment is limited.
