Introduction
MIE WiSE Program:
•To advance the participation of girls and women in the
sciences, engineering, and technology in all areas and at
all levels
•Each semester, a select group of women are awarded an
educational stipend. These women attend monthly
activities that enhance their educational experiences and
address issues that face women in the fields of science
and engineering
•WiSE participants are actively involved in the Expanding
Your Horizons Conference
Project Selection
• Innovation workshop
• VDC group reviewed all the ideas
• Spell checking pen chosen for its
feasibility
• Product research (exhaustive search for
similar products)
• Project proposal submission to VDC
Leadership Team
Community Involvement
• Idea came from: students, faculty, professionals, and
other members of the community
• Benefits to the community
• Marketability surveys conducted
• Potential manufacturers interested in further developing
the prototype
