Women in Engineering
Cal Poly Pomona's Women in Engineering Program (CPP WE) was established in 2012 to provide young women the resources and supportive services to succeed in engineering. CPP WE serves women undergraduate and graduate students and faculty in the College of Engineering. CPP WE focuses on recruitment and retention efforts, as well as overall environment enhancement programs. The CPP WE community is made up of women of all racial and ethnic backgrounds encompassing all seven departments in the College of Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona. CPP WE is dedicated to not only creating a supportive community for our current female engineering students, but also strives to inspire young girls to consider engineering as a possible career. Exposing young girls to the creativity and excitement of engineering through hands-on activities and role models is an excellent way to build confidence in their capacity within the engineering field. We hope to inspire many young girls to reach their potential through engineering!

Our Mission
Cal Poly Pomona Women in Engineering (CPP WE) is dedicated to engaging all women within the college of engineering. CPP WE strives to recruit female engineers by bringing awareness and exposure of engineering programs to women while retaining and graduating current students by providing a welcoming environment for them. The program provides greater participation by women through K-12 outreach activities, by means of inspiring prospective and current students to be successful engineers, and by continuing engagement with alumnae in engineering industries. CPP WE promotes a close community for female engineering students through proactive retention activities and seeks to create an environment in which women can thrive in the classroom and beyond in their careers.
Now more than ever, the College of Engineering relies on the generosity of our alumni, faculty, staff, industry and community friends to help us continue offering an exceptional engineering education. You are an important part of a community that believes in the value of our mission. Your investment helps:
- Create opportunities for the next generation of engineers
- Nurture learning environments that foster student, faculty and industry collaboration
- Transform student training through cutting-edge instruction
We invite you to invest in our future!
