Turning Ideas into reality

Women make up approximately 30% of the Penn Engineering incoming class each year. While this is better than the national average of 20%, there is still work to be done. In the fall of 2007, due to the generous donation of a Mechanical Engineering Alumna, the Advancing Women in Engineering Program (AWE) was launched.

Under the leadership of the AWE faculty committee and with the guidance of the AWE student advisory board, AWE is committed to providing resources, support and opportunities to SEAS.
