WEPAN is a national not-for-profit organization with over 600 members from engineering schools, small businesses, Fortune 500 corporations, and non-profit organizations. WEPAN works to transform culture in engineering education to attract, retain, and graduate women. With a clear focus on research-based issues and solutions, WEPAN helps its members develop a highly prepared, diverse engineering workforce for tomorrow.
WEPAN's network of members on 150 college and university campuses reaches 42,890 female engineering students or 60 percent of the female engineering students through campus-based programs and initiatives (WEPAN membership data and American Society of Engineering Educators [ASEE] Data Management System data). WEPAN's Institutional Members have an average 15 percent higher enrollment of women in engineering, than non-member campuses.
WEPAN began in 1990 as a collaboration of leaders at several major universities who were focused on supporting women in engineering fields of study. Since that time, membership has grown to include a variety of institutions of higher learning, including large research institutions, corporations, government agencies and other not-for-profit organizations who are focused on the full participation of women in engineering.
WEPAN is an Associate Member Society of ABET.
