WIE Engineering Experience: Connecting Engineering Fields
WIE Engineering Experience: Connecting Engineering Fields is an integration event for students from different engineering programs at Universidad del Norte. It is designed as a dynamic space to share experiences, learn about the perspectives of other engineering fields, and strengthen connections among female students. The activity also features the participation of female professors from different areas of engineering, who accompany the activities and share their experiences and perspectives on their professional journeys in the field. The event is organized through different game and challenge stations related to engineering, combining entertainment, knowledge, and teamwork. One of the activities is ArcadeFem, a series of games inspired by women who have made history in engineering, where participants can learn about their contributions while completing different challenges. Among the games is “Guess Who? – WIE Version,” an adaptation of the well-known board game in which participants try to identify prominent women from different areas of engineering through questions about their work and contributions. A Twister activity is also included, providing a fun way to learn about women engineers while encouraging recreation and interaction. Overall, the event includes everyday games adapted to the context of engineering, such as trivia, knowledge challenges, speed-based activities, and challenges in which participants solve situations or answer questions creatively. These games also promote interaction, with activities designed so that students from different engineering programs can participate, get to know one another, and share experiences from their respective fields. The event also serves as a space to introduce WIE Uninorte, its objectives, activities, and opportunities for participation, encouraging new students to become involved and strengthening the chapter's presence within the university community.
