The Engenheiras da Borborema Project: Schramm Is Working to Create Reference Models for Girls [Pipelining: Attractive Programs for Women]

摘要

Students branches of the IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Groups (AGs) provide undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to mentor, volunteer, learn, and work alongside other like-minded engineers. They're more than a vehicle for networking; at a critical time, they provide a cohort of passionate, supportive students and mentors who also want to engage with science and technology for the betterment of their communities. Assistant Professor Vanessa Batista Schramm is an advisor of the WIE AG at the Federal University of Campina Grande in Brazil. The group, which was founded in 2015 and has grown to approximately 60 volunteers, is one of the most active IEEE WIE student affinity branches in Region 9.
