IEEE Women in Engineering membership in high

It was three years ago occupied three years ago IEEE women in engineering It celebrated the twenty -fifth anniversary of 2022.

WIE facilitates employing women and keeping it in technical disciplines all over the world. It also works to inspire girls to follow the engineering profession. There are classroom classes in universities all over the world. Men may join the convergence group as well.

Women are less than a third of the world’s workforce in the fields related to technology, according to a report issued by World Bank Group.

WIE has provided many programs that focus on increasing the number of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. New initiatives include grants and driving programs, and many competitions have been launched to encourage and support students who think about the STEM profession.

The hard work of the group pays its fruits. Winnie YiThe current head of WIE and the professor of electronics in Carlton UniversityThe southern Ottawa is located directly, reports that, as of February, the number of members and students members had risen during the same period last year. There are more than 28,800 members, that is, an annual basis for more than 17 percent. Student membership, which is about 21,000, rises in the same percentage. There are now more than 1,100 convergence groups.

“Despite this growth, attracting and preserving the paid members still represents a challenge, especially as students move to professional membership,” says Yi. “The guarantee of long -term participation requires showing a clear value through job development, networks and driving opportunities.”

A day of celebration, grants and driving training

Several new programs were launched under Celia Shahnazcommand. Shahnaz served the first Wie committee team chairman in 2023 and 2024. In 2022, the committee made an elected position.

Shahnaz was a volunteer for more than 20 years. I created the first WIE group in IEEE Bangladesh section In 2010 and became her first chair. IEEE member is a professor of electrical and electronic engineering in Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, In Dhaka.

It says it is more proud of the annual return IEEE like todayHeld on June 29, the group was officially established in 1997.

“Today is an event in the involvement of members aimed at developing membership and maintaining membership,” says Shahnaz. Activities include communication events, seminars and workshops.

The topic of this year is the pioneer of the safe electronic space: Technology and Light Bed for Security.

For some groups, one day is not enough, so WIE’s day extends over several weeks. The opening event, which was held in 2023, appeared more than 120 activities around the world. The number doubled last year, with more than 230 events. This year’s celebrations are scheduled to start on June 23, to coincide with International Women’s Day in EngineeringThen it ends on July 7.

the IEEE WIE Family Grant Program It was established to help members financially in care duties so that they can attend the IEEE conference. The grant provides up to $ 1,000 to cover the expenses related to childcare, the elderly and the disabled family. The grant is carried out by IEEE Foundation.

To maintain update its members on industry trends, as well as search results and practical applications, WIE has made a partnership with many IEEE societies and councils to submit a default to submit Distinguished lecturers program. More than 20 sets of amplifiers have provided, including Computer communityand Authority Electronics AssociationAnd Sensors.

There is also new Industry expert networkA global database for industry professionals, researchers and leaders who can be summoned to participate in an event.

“For any of our events, we can reach this amazing list of people, who can request conversations and submit workshops and seminars,” says Yi. Many WIE programs focus on providing women with driving skills. Less than 10 per cent of women occupy positions such as CIO and CTO and the director of information technology or as technical leaders of technicians, according to what I mentioned this year Women in technology statistics a report.

the International leadership peaks in WieIt is held all over the world, providing opportunities for communication, guidance and cooperation. It was held eight last year, and seven this year is scheduled in countries including Jordan, Pakistan, Poland and the United States.

the Like the United States of America Forum The attendees help to develop and improve their leadership skills through conversations by successful leaders. This year to 6 to 8 November is scheduled to be held in Arlington, Virginia.

You say it is very excited to return Wie’s International Leadership Conference. After two years of absence, the event is scheduled to be held on May 15 and 16 in San Jose, California, and the issue is to accelerate leadership in a world working in Amnesty International. Registration now Open.

Competitions related to treatment and championship STEM

Several competitions were launched to encourage young women to follow the STEM profession, says Shahnaz. Women make up about 35 percent of STEM graduates – a gender contrast that has not changed in the past ten years, according to what they said. UNESCO Global Education Control Report.

It was held for the first time in 2023, Wie Climate Tech Big Idea Pitch Competition encourages engineering students and researchers, with entrepreneurship and designed to increase the number of startups, led by women.

“I really wanted to inspire women to build their capabilities using their technical knowledge and professional skills to be the foundation for starting operation,” says Shahnaz. “We wanted to find a solution to climate change problems and present their ideas and business models. We also wanted to take care of the talent of women in all levels of membership, including senior members, colleagues and colleagues.”

In the 2023 competition, a team of engineering students from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology He won first place in the impact category of his design for the bamboo candidate for diesel engines.

There were 60 notes in the first year, and the number doubled last year. The deadline for applications for this year’s competition will be announced soon.

Take advantage of the popularity of manga comedy and graphic novels with young people, Wie launched a competition in 2023 to find the best written manga focused on Rico Chan, a fictional figure who is a former student. Riko-chan uses STEM tools to help solve daily problems. More than 40 people participated in the 2023 competition, and there were 81 notes last year. Their stories are available online, and many have been translated into nine languages, including French, Indian and Spanish.

“We see this competition an opportunity to display various roles models in engineering technology,” says Yi. “The goal is to cause curiosity between our younger audience and make STEM fields more connected and more exciting.”

The manga competition for this year now accepts the presentations. verify The rules and deadlines On WIE.

Guidance and communication programs

The new guidance program in business, he says.

“We really want to create a matching platform for matching and participating in the WIE community,” she says.

As part of her vision of a more comprehensive and comprehensive society, she launched the Wie Ambassador program. This initiative is designed to enable WIE members to defend the IEEE mission worldwide. Traveling can enhance WIE initiatives, organize local events, and inspire more women to follow STEM professions, they say.

It emphasizes the importance of expanding the presence of WIE in the representative regions, such as China and South Africa.

“During my state,” she says, “I am committed to expanding our presence in these areas. I really want to enhance WIE leadership with the local community so that we can provide more targeted resources and support women. We want to make sure they are aware of us and become more active.”
