We are pleased to invite women who are interested in pursuing graduate education in civil engineering to visit North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC, and attend the We are Women in Engineering (We are WE) Workshop on February 28-March 1, 2019. Students who have interests in a wide range of topics in civil, construction, and environmental engineering research should apply. Applicants are invited to attend a 2-day event, where students present their own research in a poster symposium and participate in discussions relevant to careers in research.
