##  [Together WiE Can](/togetherwiecan) 

Almost everyone can agree that diversity matters. But despite this consensus, women still represent less than 13 per cent of the licensed engineering workforce in Canada.

Over the past eight years, our **Women in Engineering (WiE)** initiative has worked to change this paradigm, helping to raise female enrollment in UBC Engineering from 18 to 30 per cent. Yet the number of women entering our engineering programs has plateaued. It is clear we must scale up our efforts—and need greater support to do so.

We are committed to supporting and encouraging the next generation of female engineers, and achieving a more inclusive and diverse engineering profession. Together WiE Can.

## Together WiE Can:

- Increase female enrollment in UBC engineering to **50 per cent** through outreach, recruitment and retention
- Ensure **proportional representation of women and other underrepresented groups** in the profession of engineering
- **Encourage girls** and their “influencers” (teachers and parents) to choose engineering as a career choice
- **Promote participation** of alumni and donors in engineering education and outreach initiatives
- **Diversify industry** pipelines in STEM to foster innovation

## Together WiE Can build a more diverse and inclusive engineering community
