IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) is a global network within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) dedicated to promoting women engineers and scientists and inspiring girls around the world to pursue careers in engineering, science, and technology. The IEEE Women in Engineering Affinity Group at Beirut Arab University (BAU) aims to encourage the participation, advancement, and professional development of women in engineering and related fields. Since its establishment, the group has organized various technical, educational, and social activities, including workshops, seminars, awareness campaigns, and community service initiatives. These activities aim to empower female students, develop their leadership and technical skills, promote gender equality in STEM fields, and foster a supportive and inclusive engineering community. The group is guided by Dr. Manal K.
