Home Mission Statement Women in ECE is an organization for the professional development of women students and alumni in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
More women share in the intellectual and economic rewards of engineering and research careers.
Business and governmental organizations obtain a broader base of qualified engineering professionals. Academic institutions achieve greater diversity and strength in their research and teaching capabilities. Increasing the percentage of women who graduate with degrees in ECE is important but does not guarantee an increase in the percentage of women who successfully pursue careers in engineering design, research, and management. The next step is to help women develop professional knowledge and skills that will enable them to succeed in an engineering or engineering management career. Together women in the ECE field can help each other to develop professionally and to learn how to integrate and balance career and personal life objectives.
