The WISE program strives to increase the number of women in the science, engineering, math, and technology fields through our outreach, recruitment, and retention efforts from middle school age through the undergraduate levels. 

WISE provides support programs including scholarships, mentoring, professional/technical workshops, advising, and social activities. It is our goal to create an academic and social climate at Missouri S&T to enhance your educational experience.

The WISE office has a women's social lounge, computer lab, resource library, and conference room for student meetings. Missouri S&T's student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers is also sponsored by WISE.

INTRODUCTION

The 33 year-old Women in Engineering Program was established in 1975 and, for many years, primarily served as a scholarship program. However, throughout 2000, Missouri S&T's Corporate Development Council, including alumnae in corporate positions, students, and faculty/staff, developed a renewed mission and strategic plan that includes several new student programs for girls in engineering, math, and science. In 2004, the University officially renamed the WEP to Women in Science and Engineering to clearly communicate the science component of the program. With all of these exciting changes taking place, the WISE has indeed experienced a New Beginning!

MISSION

To promote diversity and support the needs of female students within the university community with the aim of increasing the number of female graduates entering our nation's engineering and science workforce.

VISION

The shared vision of the Women in Science & Engineering Program at Missouri S&T is to create a campus environment that reflects and encourages the rich diversity of today's global culture.
