"Mujeres que Transforman la Ingeniería" es un evento organizado por el Grupo de Afinidad IEEE WIE de la Universidad del Magdalena, en alianza con IEEE Women in Engineering Colombia/Caribe, a realizarse el 2 de octubre de 2026 en la Facultad de Ingeniería. La actividad busca conectar, apoyar e inspirar a las mujeres y niñas de la comunidad universitaria en su vocación hacia la ingeniería, fortaleciendo su captación y retención en carreras STEM. El evento inicia con una charla especializada de la psicóloga Yeimi Polo sobre el síndrome del impostor, un fenómeno que afecta de manera desproporcionada a las mujeres en campos técnicos y científicos, brindando herramientas prácticas para reconocerlo y manejarlo. A continuación, se desarrolla un panel titulado "Mujeres que transforman la ingeniería: liderazgo, ciencia y propósito para construir el futuro", en el que participan la decana de la Facultad de Ingeniería y las directoras académicas de los programas de Ingeniería Civil, de Sistemas, Electrónica, Marino Costera y Pesquera. El panel recorre un hilo conductor cronológico que va desde la etapa previa a elegir su carrera, pasando por su experiencia como estudiantes y su trayectoria laboral, hasta su proceso de llegar a ocupar cargos de liderazgo institucional y su visión sobre el futuro de la ingeniería en Colombia y el Caribe. Con este formato, la actividad visibiliza referentes reales de liderazgo femenino en ingeniería ante estudiantes de la Facultad, fomentando la innovación tecnológica y la excelencia en beneficio de la comunidad. El evento cierra con un espacio de preguntas del público y un mensaje final que conecta a las asistentes con las demás actividades del semestre del capítulo WIE. Se espera que el evento tenga un impacto significativo en la comunidad estudiantil, fortaleciendo el sentido de pertenencia de las mujeres en la Facultad de Ingeniería y motivando a más niñas y jóvenes a considerar carreras STEM. Agenda: Cronograma general del evento el día 2 de octubre de 2026: • Apertura general del evento — bienvenida y presentación del propósito. • Bloque 1: charla de la psicóloga Yeimi Polo sobre el síndrome del impostor. • Bloque 2: panel "Mujeres que transforman la ingeniería: liderazgo, ciencia y propósito para construir el futuro", con la decana y cinco directoras de programa, siguiendo un hilo conductor cronológico (antes de la carrera → época de estudiantes → momento laboral y equilibrio personal-profesional → camino a cargos de liderazgo → proyección a futuro). • Pregunta final de cierre y registro fotográfico con todas las panelistas. • Espacio de preguntas del público. • Cierre general del evento y foto grupal. santa marta, Magdalena, Colombia, 470001

Space Week 2026 and HidroChallenge Colombia 2026 are held jointly as a 5-day event at Universidad del Cauca, in celebration of IEEE Day. HidroChallenge Colombia is the first international water-rocket competition hosted at the university, co-organized with CDA and HidroChallenge IPN, bringing together teams from across Colombia and Ecuador for a week of technical exhibitions, conferences, and competition. Over these five days, the university community and the public will have access to talks by IEEE Distinguished Lecturers, hands-on technology workshops, exhibition stands featuring aerospace projects, oral presentations from competing teams to a panel of judges, and the culmination of the event with rocket launches across all competition categories, followed by the awards ceremony. This is a free, open event for students, IEEE members, researchers, and the general public. Speaker(s): Jesús Gonzales Llorente, Kumar Vijay Mishra Agenda: Day 1 (Oct 5) opens with a dedicated testing window, giving competing teams the opportunity to test their rockets on campus ahead of the competition. In the afternoon, the event officially kicks off with the opening ceremony, a welcome session for all participants, an introductory talk, and the first round of technology exhibition stands open to the university community. Day 2(Oct 6) is built around technical and educational content: a series of Distinguished Lecturer conferences, a hands-on technology workshop, activities in celebration of IEEE Day, and continued technology exhibition stands for attendees to explore. Day 3(Oct 7) marks the official start of HidroChallenge Colombia 2026, with competing teams delivering oral presentations of their rocket designs to the judging panel, alongside ongoing technology stands showcasing student and partner projects. Day 4(Oct 8) is the most visible day of the event: rocket launches across all competition categories take place on campus, accompanied by broader technology showcases featuring rockets, drones, and aircraft from participating teams and collaborators. This day marks the close of the competitive phase.

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.
