Women in Engineering  


The Women in Engineering Office (WIE) offers professional, academic and social services to the women of the Viterbi School. The goal of the Viterbi Women in Engineering Office is to recognize the unique challenges that face female engineering students and provide resources and overall support that will address these challenges and allow our female students to find personal and professional success during their Viterbi career and beyond.

Apply for Viterbi Spring 2010 WiSE Undergraduate Research Fellowships today!

Deadline:  Monday, November 16, 2009

Up to five (5) Undergraduate Research Fellowships ($2,500) are available to Viterbi School of Engineering undergraduates to support spring semester academic research. The goal is to familiarize students with laboratory research and link them with a mentor early on. It is hoped that through the experience of first-hand research at the undergraduate level, the chances will increase that students will choose to pursue a graduate degree in science or engineering.

Details about the program and application instructions can be found at the following links to the WiSE website:

WIE Lunch Series

Join Women in Engineering (WIE) for lunch!  The first Wednesday of every month, WIE will host a roundtable lunch for undergraduate women to come together and discuss topics of interest.  We will invite guest speakers to join us and lead conversations on networking, going to graduate school and balancing life as a Viterbi engineer!  Lunch will be provided (RSVP required).

All lunch programs will begin at 12:15pm and be held in RTH 306.

Learn more about the WIE Lunch Series and other programs for Fall 2009!

Congratulations Drs. Armani and Meng

Dr. Andrea Armani (Chemical Engineering) and Dr. Ellis Meng (Biomedical Engineering) have just been named to the Technology Review magazine's top 25 innovators under the age of 35.  Read more about these Viterbi faculty and their great accomplishments!

Sign up for MentorNet!

The Viterbi Women in Engineering Office has partnered with MentorNet, an e mentoring network that provides an outlet for matching undergraduate women with mentors from the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields. This is an excellent opportunity to begin developing relationships with industry and/or academic contacts that may be good mentors while an undergraduate at Viterbi. There are over 1,300 registered mentors on MentorNet from a variety of companies and areas within engineering.

This service is completely FREE for Viterbi students and only takes a few minutes to fill out your profile.

Go to MentorNet and complete your profile today!
