RM also supports undergraduate students who have already chosen an engineering career to continue on their path by offering professional workshops and orientations. IEEE WIE falls under the category of Region 9 - Latin America. Mission
Our mission is clear: to increase the enrollment of women in engineering at the UPRM and support our members by providing technical and professional development to prepare them for a competitive work field. These two aspects are the essence of our every workshop, activity, and seminar. Vision
To inspire and empower women engineers and scientists that will be productive in their work environment and society, focusing on technical development, professional networking, and active engagement in their community. It is our goal to develop elite women that strive to be the best at what they do, providing a unique vision that not only contributes to the advance of technology but provides diversity in the work field.
