IEEE WIE NSU, an Affinity Group from NSU Student Branch, dedicated to promoting women and inspiring girls from North South University and around the world to follow their academic interests to a career in IT and engineering. This affinity group was established in 20th June 2016 and since then its members have been actively working on their events and projects. Historically in Bangladesh (and also in NSU), the female presence has been low in science and engineering subjects. So we have been working hard to encourage, engage and motivate the female students through IEEE opportunities for developing their skills in IT and engineering for professional career development. History of WIE Bangladesh Section: 2011 is the first full calendar year for women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group, IEEE Bangladesh Section. At the end of 2012, the number of female IEEE student members was above 80. At the end of 2014, the number of female IEEE member was around 56, graduate female IEEE member was 14, the undergraduate female IEEE student member was higher in number than in 2013. Due to the massive campaigning from the WIE affinity group, IEEE Bangladesh Section, most of the existing female student members of IEEE responded to our call and actively participated in the WIE activities in 2014 and 2015. Their huge interest and participation in the WIE activities clearly indicate that we have achieved an expected growth of the WIE affinity Group’s membership. In 2015 WIE AG, IEEE Bangladesh Section had 6 members, 25 graduate members,and 191 student members. Up to June 2016 WIE AG, IEEE BD section has 4 student branches (4 more student branches are on the process of formation) with more than 400 members across the country. IEEE WIE is led by a diverse body of elected and appointed volunteer members. The governance structure includes boards for operational areas as well as bodies representing members in the 45 Societies and technical Councils and ten worldwide geographic regions. The WIE Committee (WIEC) is responsible for facilitating the development of programs and activities that: - promote the entry into and the retention of women in engineering programs - enhance the career advancement of women in the profession - promote IEEE membership and retention of IEEE women members.
