Women in Engineering Program at Pitt

WEP@Pitt

Established in 2018, WEP@Pitt’s mission is to attract and support engineering students while they are pursuing both their educational and professional goals. The program provides a variety of events and services that help students find a support system as well as guidance while they are pursuing their engineering degree.

WEP@Pitt’s programming for current students includes monthly “Tasty Tidbits” lunch and learns, which allow students to gain knowledge and advice from seasoned industry professionals. Additionally, seminars on specialized topics help to build confidence and prepare engineering students for both academic and professional endeavors. This programming is available to all currently enrolled Swanson engineering students.

The PantHER Mentorship program, which is available to students admitted to the Swanson School of Engineering, pairs admitted engineering students with current student mentors to experience a day in the life of an engineering student.
