Women in Microwaves (WIM)

WHAT IS WIM?

• WIM stands for “Women in Microwaves” and is the subset of Women in Engineering (WIE) working within the field of microwave engineering and typically active within the MTT society.
• WIM is also a subcommittee under MGA within the MTT-S AdCom.
• The mission of WIM is to attract more woman graduate students and professionals to join MTT-S, and to increase the visibility of females in MTT-S throughout a variety of activities.
