The Women in Engineering (WIE) is a weeklong investigation of engineering careers in areas such as mechanical, computer, environmental, electrical, chemical, biomedical, civil, geological, materials, and related disciplines.

• Explore engineering by constructing a building strong enough to withstand an earthquake, design and create a wind turbine, and more.

• Get the inside scoop from role models working in engineering fields.

• Work in teams to complete group projects.

• Learn about the college application process and tips for succeeding in university engineering programs.

• Experience college life—stay in a residence hall, explore campus, and meet others with similar backgrounds and interests.

• Enjoy team competitions, a variety show, and tons of outdoor activities in Michigan’s beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula

This program is a highly competitive scholarship program which provides a chance for women who are high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors the opportunity to investigate careers in engineering and science. Students participate in engineering sessions, group projects and special topic presentations. In addition, students have opportunities throughout the week to interact with industry role models and a diverse group of peers from all over the country and world.

Upon request, arrangements can be made for you to talk with university faculty from disciplines or areas in which you have special interests or concerns, as well as Admissions and Financial Aid staff. 
 

WIE is a scholarship program that requires a separate application. Check out Application Process for more details.
