IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) is the largest international professional organization, dedicated to promoting women engineers and scientists.

Students of Effat university’s Electrical & Computer Engineering department were responsible for the winning projects. One team led a project on automated shipment sorting. Its objective is to sort packages automatically and efficiently, using a robotic arm, conveyors and bar codes.

The other team focused on the possibilities of a computer-controlled helicopter.

They took a remote controlled helicopter and hooked the remote to a computer.

The women in the team considered some options to apply the device in daily life, such as to monitor traffic or to secure an area.
