IN SCIENCE & ENGINEERING WISE is a developing program that establishes engineering and sciences as a place for women to reach their goals. WISE has focused attention on changing the academic environment for women in engineering and science by researching barriers to their success and developing programs that reduce or eliminate these barriers. Our programs for students focus on participating in their engineering and science education from the first year college through the graduate level. |
