Welcome to
Women in Engineering at Monash
Women in Engineering at Monash (WEM) is a student run society that aims to inspire and support women-identifying students studying in STEM.
Founded in 2012, the club has seen astonishing growth over time, with well over 300 members and support from 20 industry leading sponsors in 2025.
Although events are primarily targeted towards the women–identifying minority, WEM values inclusivity and welcomes all STEM students to participate.
WEM primarily seeks to empower women with a specific focus on creating a support network amongst peers and professionals alike.
Furthermore, an emphasis is placed on providing the necessary resources to stay informed and develop confidence in order to facilitate a smooth transition from university into the workforce.
Every year, WEM collaborates closely with sponsor companies, Monash University, and other student clubs to deliver our plethora of social, academic, industry and outreach events.

Promote gender diversity and foster respectful, equitable relationships across students, staff, and industry
Increase understanding of gender–based challenges in engineering and advocate for meaningful cultural change
