IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society WIE Panels: Oceans of Opportunities

Dr. Farheen Fauziya describes membership to the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) as a connection to “oceans of opportunities.” This is not just a clever play on words, but a sentiment echoed by many women who have taken advantage of OES activities alongside their careers in oceanic engineering and marine science over the years. In connecting to a network of their colleagues, women say they feel less alone and more encouraged, important terms for empowering professional women in a field where weeks at sea or the conditions of other remote experiments can lead to them leaving their promising careers all too soon.
