Girls Club is for girls in grade 4 – 6 and engages participants through activities designed to dispel stereotypes about engineers and scientists and inspire girls to pursue these studies in high school and post-secondary education.

Girls club meets once a month on Saturday afternoons and explore a different topic with the help of a female role model currently working or studying in science or engineering.

Come and volunteer at a meeting and share your passion for engineering.

Go ENG Girl is an event that every school of engineering across the province hosts for girls in Grades 7,8,9 and 10 in October of each year.  The Waterloo event will include speakers, a parent panel of existing students, a showcase information fair, opportunities to meet current female Waterloo Engineering students, cool hands-on activities, and a delicious free lunch!  The only cost to attend will be transportation to the University of Waterloo.

The Women in Engineering (WiE) committee is organizing an end-of-term get together for female faculty on Thursday, December 11, from 3-5pm in the E5 lounge. 

This workshop will focus on skills, strategies and "insider information" necessary to obtain a tenure-track professor position in science and engineering, to succeed in one and to advance to other positions of leadership.

This is also an opportunity to meet and network with peers.

Come join us for lunch and learn more about going on parental leave, whether you are a graduate student or faculty member. A group of knowledgeable panel members will be there to answer any questions!
