Future graduate students

Women in Engineering (WiE) welcomes all students, staff and faculty to Waterloo Engineering on Wednesday, September 18th, 2019. All are welcome!

The BBQ will start at 11 am and will go until around 1 pm. You can pop in whenever you get a bit of time! This is a casual event so people will be coming in and out :)

Sixty young women will discover firsthand what software engineering and coding are all about at the University of Waterloo this Saturday, February 21.

Hosted by the University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Engineering, Go CODE Girl aims to ignite interest in software and computer engineering at a time when students are thinking about their future careers and are choosing courses that will prepare them for further education.

Educating girls about engineering

As a young girl, Jennifer Howcroft loved science as much as she loved helping people so she always assumed she’d become a medical doctor.

But when she heard about biomedical engineering in her teens, Howcroft knew she had found her true calling.  Biomedical engineering allowed Howcroft, now a doctoral student in Waterloo’s Department of Systems Design Engineering, to blend her passion for creating and building with her drive to improve the lives of people.
