About Us

Machining is the act of creating products with machines. The process of machining provides students the opportunity to apply their academic skills to practical problems. Machining develops students' confidence, critical thinking, and hands-on skills. We believe that every developing engineer should have the chance to work with their hands. However, machine shops are often male-dominated, and students of underrepresented genders report experiencing discrimination in these environments. That's why we intend the Women Machinists' Club to be a space for students of underrepresented genders to learn skills and support one another. All students who are interested in supporting students of underrepresented genders in machining are welcome.
