The community of women at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Grainger College of Engineering is stronger than ever. Over the past 10 years, we have grown our community by almost 100%. It is because of our focus on innovation, collaboration, and success that women make a difference in people’s lives through engineering here at Illinois. Women in Engineering (WIE) is a college-wide student success program dedicated to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for students in The Grainger College of Engineering. We welcome everyone in joining us to support women in engineering.
