IEEE WIE Supports
Showcasing Diverse Engineering Role
Models
IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE)
is at the forefront of diversity issues.
Although the primary goal of WIE is to build a
community of women and men supporting the
advancement of women at all stages of their
careers, WIE has become the diversity arm of
IEEE.

Women of Color Ace
Electrical Engineering
Many are rising in their
versatile specialty, others have moved
into related technical fields. At last
count, women made up only 8 percent of
the EE work force. Women of color
account for just a fraction of those,
but it’s a vibrant fraction.

Banneker
Institute Steers African-American
Youngsters Towards STEM Education and

an elementary school teacher in
Indiana, receiving an IEEE-USA Precollege
Education Committee (PEC) Teacher Reward/Grant
last school year had impacts beyond his
expectations.
