About us

Started online during the first lockdown, we currently meet in person every Thursday at 10:30 for a catch-up over coffee in the Knowledge Exchange Hub (TIC building, 4th floor)! There is room for everything, from a casual chat and making new friends to discussing current events in the tech industry through the lens of feminism and racial justice. We are a partner group of the University of Strathclyde IEEE Student Branch and an affinity group of IEEE Women in Engineering.

 
Our primary goals are to build a community for those traditionally marginalised in engineering and to make a difference for each other, the Strathclyde engineering community, and the world. We aim to do this with...
  • regular informal meetups to build community and develop a secondary academic support network and also have a bit of fun and get to know each other! 
  • events addressing issues surrounding women+ in engineering and science
  • events highlighting the work of women+ in engineering and science
  • collaborations with other Strathclyde/Glaswegian student groups with shared goals

"Why the + after women?"

This group is meant for all those who hear "women+ in engineering", and think, "yeah that's me!" That includes folks who identify as female, non-binary, genderfluid, genderqueer, trans, gender nonconforming and many other gender expressions. We welcome staff, post-docs, and graduate and undergraduate students in the entire engineering faculty. In creating this group, we want to make a space within Strathclyde that is explicitly for non-cis-male engineers, for it is a field that so often does not provide space at all for us.
 
Interested in getting to know us? Sign up for the society and we will invite you to our Welcome Event in October! (Details forthcoming)
