The Ontario Network of Women in Engineering (ONWiE) was formed in February 2005 at a meeting hosted by the Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science, Queen's University. The objectives of the network are to:
- Identify desirable changes in the participation rate of female engineering students in Ontario.
- Collaborate to effect positive change in the participation rate of females as students and professionals in engineering.
- Provide opportunities for participants to network and to share information and available resources related to women in engineering.
Financial support is provided by the Deans of the Schools or Faculties of Engineering as well as the NSERC/RIM Chair for Women in Science and Engineering.
