WECE was established in 2006. The initial objective of WECE was to create a community within the ECE department where women could seek friendship, support, and advice regarding their academic, professional, and personal life.
WECE's mission is two-fold:
1) to create, encourage, and support academic, professional, and social opportunities for women in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UF
2) to expose pre-college students to ECE in order to generate interest in the discipline.
In order to fulfill our main goal to provide academic and professional development to all women students at the ECE department, the WECE regularly offers services and activities such as:
· Peer mentoring and role modeling
· Career information
· Exposure to industry role models
· ECE lab tours and presentations by technical interest groups
In addition, WECE plans several extracurricular activities and social events throughout the year.
