Women have had to fight valiantly over the centuries to get recognized in every field, including engineering. Now though quantitatively the representation of women in Engineering has increased appreciably, qualitatively it requires a lot of encouragement from the society.

Women sustaining in their engineering careers, particularly in industries and reaching the top are still very few. WIECON’12 is organized with the sole aim of bringing together women engineering role models who have carved a name for themselves in the engineering field with the aspiring students, teachers and professionals in a congenial environment. The best practices are to be discussed and perfected so that the attendees will have a direction to work on towards making a success of their engineering careers.

The programme will cover a wide range of skill development workshops, panel discussions on women career related issues and entrepreneurship ideas. The speakers from IEEE top leadership from HQ, Asia Pacific Region and Sections along with role models from all over the region in academia and industry will cover a range of issues on women in engineering.
