Collaboration seeks diversity

IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE)
has extended its hand to reach out to
groups that are below the radar for a
long time-groups that are intellectual,
diverse, dynamic, creative, and persevering yet often quietly present in a
field that is just as diverse and dynamic
as the groups that struggle to maintain their presence and be heard-
groups such as the female engineering
and computer science undergraduate
students at Alabama A&M University
(AAMU) on "The Hill" in Huntsville, Alabama. WIE set its sights to collaborate
with the group at AAMU as part of promoting and seeking out the diverse talents of more underrepresented groups in
the area. Although the female students
that represent electrical engineering and
computer science are small in number at
AAMU, their interests, ideals, and voice
to promote the engineering program at
AAMU as they aspire to join the global
world of engineering is bold, vibrant,
and substantient.
The excitement and dedication that
the students and faculty have for the
AAMU engineering program, including
students from various science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields at the university, is

exuberant and remarkable. As part of a
recent WIE Interest Meeting at AAMU,
we took some time to speak with several
students and faculty who collectively
established the AAMU IEEE WIE Student Branch Affinity Group to find out
what drives their passion to push their
program at the university and strive to
succeed in the engineering field.

On "The Hill"
AAMU has roots as a traditional landgrant institution, combining profes-

sional, vocational, and liberals arts fields
with a student body that is co-educational and diverse, racially and ethnically. The university provides for the
emergence of scholars, leaders, thinkers,
and positive influential role models of
society. The college is a historically black
college and university with an almost
140-year history located in Huntsville,
