Women In Engineering & IT Awards

The Club’s Women in Engineering & IT Award was initiated in 2002 to support a second-year female engineering student at the University of Technology (UTS) Sydney. The current award encourages young women studying engineering & IT to pursue her passion. The winner receives a cash prize and recognition within the Zonta network and at UTS. We will be presenting the winner with her award and acknowledging her amazing work.

For the 18th year running, our club's Award Committee continue to be blown away by the high calibre candidate pool of exceptional young women. The winner will be announced and will showcase her amazing work.

We look forward to you joining us for this special occasion!
