WomXn at the Forefront of ECE Research (WAFER)
Tuesday, November 7, 2023
The UW Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering is excited to introduce the second WomXn at the Forefront of ECE Research (WAFER) event at UW! This event aims to cultivate an inclusive environment for participants and speakers alike to share and learn more about research in ECE, hear others’ experiences in the field (at different stages of their careers), and to ultimately leave the event feeling inspired to potentially pursue a career in ECE or other tech-related fields.
