This past weekend was the National Conference on Women in Engineering (NCWiE) hosted by the University of British Columbia (UBC). There were two full days of sessions with four main focus areas: Diversity, Careers, Outreach, and Communication. Attending the conference were seven delegates representing the Waterloo Engineering Society who were able to meet and network with over 150 engineering students from across Canada. The conference offered opportunities for delegates to discuss ideas from the four focus areas during sessions. The Chairs of NCWiE did a fantastic job of showing off what the West, and Vancouver, has to offer.
