About QWISE
Qualcomm Women in Science and Engineering (QWISE) was officially established in October 2006, after several months of informal discussions that started with just two women and soon came to include the participation of 17 talented female engineers. Within one year, we have grown to nearly 100 members. And, in fact, even though QWISE is an organization primarily focused on the professional development of women at Qualcomm, some of our biggest proponents are men who see the need to recruit more women in science and engineering.
