    About Notre Dame’s WIE

    Notre Dame initiated the Women in Engineering program (WIE) in 2002 to address the low enrollment and persistence of women in engineering majors.  The program focuses on providing ways for women to enrich their engineering experience, while also identifying and removing any barriers to their success.  WIE research has identified curricular and extracurricular changes that have enhanced the experience of women on campus and have led to tremendous success. For example, in 2002, only 45 percent of women who started in engineering persisted in the program as sophomores, compared to 62 percent of men. By 2004, more than 70 percent of both women and men persisted in the program, and today nearly 80 percent continue in engineering as sophomores.  Moreover, the enrollment of women has climbed from 25 percent of each class to 33 percent.  And, a unique partnership with Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, provides opportunities for students at the all-women’s college to earn an engineering degree from Notre Dame while pursuing a bachelor’s degree in chemistry or mathematics at Saint Mary’s.
