An interactive overview of the newly redesigned Teach Engineering website that features a “no-cost to you” digital library packed with thousands of standards-aligned STEM lessons, hands-on activities, and unit plans. Designed by university faculty and classroom teachers, this session will show educators, parents, and community members how to easily access and implement real-world engineering resources to inspire the next generation of problem solvers.

As electric vehicles become more common, the electromagnetic noise they generate is an issue that more designers must address. Ms. Burnham brings lessons learned from several years of troubleshooting electric vehicles, both hybrid and plug-in, to discuss some of the most important EV noise factors.

Over two decades at MIT, Hamilton forged new paths in computer science and engineering. Her groundbreaking work included leading the team that programmed the first computers that took humans to the moon. Margaret Hamilton, a profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program, died on Sep. 30. She was 90. A computing pioneer who authored over 130 publications, Hamilton helped to establish software engineering as a dedicated discipline. She worked at MIT from 1959 until the mid-1970s, after which she became a successful computing entrepreneur and CEO. Her life’s work was recognized with many awards and honors, including the 2016 Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama, whose citation noted: “Hamilton defined new forms of software engineering and helped launch an industry that would forever change human history. Her software architecture led to giant leaps for humankind, writing the code that helped America set foot on the moon.”

For the past two decades, NCWIT social scientists have been your go-to source for research-based guidance to ensure your computing departments and organizations help support success for all. As AI becomes increasingly central to computing department decisions around curriculum, pedagogy, and policy, this research symposium will present research-informed insights and actionable takeaways to apply to your current approaches to integrating AI into your teaching, research, and work.

Nominations for the 2027-2028 AWM Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize are open through October 1, 2026. This prize, which honors outstanding women recently promoted to Associate Professor or the equivalent level, enables the recipient to focus on their research in the stimulating environment of the Cornell University Mathematics Department without teaching obligations for a semester. The award provides the recipient with a $50,000 prize and a housing/subsistence stipend of $3000, as well as office space, library access, and computing facilities which are provided by Cornell. Applicants must be women recently promoted to Associate Professor or the equivalent in the mathematical sciences at an institution of higher learning other than Cornell University; There is no restriction either on the nationality of the applicant or on the country in which she holds a position; The primary selection criteria are the excellence of the candidate's research and the potential benefit to the applicant of a semester in the Mathematics Department at Cornell; Applications from underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged.

A career pivot is an opportunity to grow, explore new interests, and apply your skills in new ways. AWIS members have access to resources including webinars on career development and leadership, expert articles on navigating change with intention, and stories from women who have made the leap. Start exploring.

Statistics show that only about one-third of women with STEM bachelor’s degrees work in occupations officially classified as STEM. But that doesn’t necessarily mean their STEM education has been left behind. Women with engineering degrees often continue applying their engineering skills and ways of thinking across roles and industries that fall outside traditional definitions of the engineering workforce. In the Summer 2026 issue of SWE Magazine, SWE’s Research Division takes a closer look at the data and what it reveals about retention, recognition and the many ways an engineering education can shape a career.

Fast Forward is a virtual leadership development experience from SWE and Emerging Human designed to help women in STEM strengthen their leadership identity, build confidence and expand their influence and impact. Curious if the program is right for you? Join a free virtual information session on Sept. 16 at 10 a.m. ET to learn how Fast Forward works, who it’s designed for and what you can expect from the experience.

The cybersecurity field is vast, but guiding your students through it doesn’t have to be daunting. This workshop introduces you to a wealth of incredible, publicly available resources designed to map out cyber careers. We will explore the foundations of K–12 cybersecurity education, helping you understand the core principles and challenges that make this broad field a great fit for all kinds of talents and interests. The webinar will guide you through leading national workforce frameworks - showcasing 52 distinct work roles that bridge both technical and non-technical paths while sharing resources students can use to try out cyber firsthand to see if it’s a good fit. And also help you cut through the confusion of hundreds of different credentials and degree pathways. Plus, you’ll walk away knowing exactly where to find free education, training, and scholarship opportunities for your students.

Team culture determines your power of innovation. This session will help leaders examine how power and influence work on technical teams: who gets heard, who shapes decisions, and whether the patterns you see are actually producing your best thinking. Attendees will also learn practical ways to use PowerTilt — a free, research-based assessment tool from NCWIT - to ensure that you and your technical teams are not unwittingly leaving some of the best ideas on the table.
