WGS WISE Curriculum Project
Project Director, Dr. Mary Wyer This award from the National Science Foundation supports an expansion of the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Project in the Women's and Gender Studies (WGS) Program at North Carolina State University. The WISE project award is for innovative approaches to advancing the careers of women in science and engineering.
	In the last ten years, and with sustained support from NSF, Dr. Wyer has organized and facilitated dozens of seminars for science and engineering faculty, to introduce them to the new scholarship on women. The current initiative builds on these previous efforts to promote the advancement
of women and people of color in science and engineering through the integration of women's studies into the undergraduate and graduate curriculum.
