Welcome to the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Women in Engineering (WIE) Webpage

The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society recruits and seeks ways to promote the careers of female electrical engineers within SSCS and across IEEE. IEEE undergraduate and graduate student members can join the IEEE Women In Engineering (WIE) Community at no charge and are invited to start a Student Branch WIE Affinity Group on their home campuses.

IMG 2150Design Connect Create, an SSCS sponsored camp for young girls is a program that's held once a year for high school aged girls. In this picture, girls were split into teams and were given a design challenge to build the tallest power of paper with limited resources and time.

SSCS Women's Networking Events

The first SSCS Women's Networking Event will be held on February 1st at ISSCC. The speaker will be Sophie Vandebroek, CTO of Xerox Group and President of Xerox Innovation Group. For more information, please click here. 

 

IEEE Women in Engineering International Leadership Conference

At the IEEE Women in Engineering International Leadership Conference (WIE ILC, 23-24 May 2016 in San Jose, CA) attendees will have the opportunity to create communities that fuel innovation, facilitate knowledge sharing and provide support through highly interactive sessions designed to foster discussion and collaboration.
