Congratulations to Engineering Science senior Elizabeth Blickley and junior Sarah Klinetob upon their selection as participants in the International Institute of Women in Engineering (IIWE) "Women Engineers: Pushing for Sustainability" seminar scheduled for June 30 - July 21, 2006, in Paris, France.

The focus of the 2006 seminar is on sustainability. Women engineers will have the opportunity to work collaboratively on IIWE's own multidisciplinary activity: The Nile Countries Hydro-management Project (NCHP) aims at transforming the role of women in the ten Nile basin countries from the water carriers to the water managers.

Support for their participation in this seminar is being provided, in part, by Penn State's Women in Engineering program and the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics.
