WFEO was proud to host two webinars that presented the insights of leading women engineers who have shared their leadership journeys in Rising to The Top Volume II.
This book was developed by the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) and the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC).
Copies of the book as e-book, PDF or hard copy are available in this page.
It features women leaders from the members of WFEO and the International Network for Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES), a partnership project that advances the goals of gender equality for women in STEM.
