The Women in Engineering Programs & Advocates Network (WEPAN) has had a significant impact on the development of mentoring programs and activities for female and underrepresented minority students in engineering. Its strengths center on the established and sustained partnerships and collaborations that are designed to ensure that all WEPAN activities and initiatives have a broad and enduring impact at the individual and institutional level. The project advances knowledge of effective mentoring strategies, training, and programs that change the engineering infrastructure to enhance the academic experiences, professional development, and career success of underrepresented minorities in engineering. Further, WEPAN has fostered the integration of research and education activities to enhance mentoring in engineering program administration, undergraduate and graduate education, preparing future faculty, and K-12 education. The project has taken a significant leadership role in the development, training, and widespread dissemination of a mentoring curriculum.WEPAN has had an amplifying effect through activities that train individuals and institutions that mentor large numbers of underrepresented minority students in engineering and has been instrumental in contributing to and documenting the increase of Women in Engineering Programs from 18 formal programs in 1990 to 85 in 2002.

工程项目女性倡导者网络（WEPAN）对工程领域女性和少数族裔学生的指导项目和活动的发展产生了重大影响。它的优势集中在建立和持续的伙伴关系和合作，旨在确保所有WEPAN活动和倡议在个人和机构层面具有广泛和持久的影响。该项目推进了有效的指导策略、培训和项目的知识，这些策略、培训和项目改变了工程基础设施，以增强工程领域未被充分代表的少数群体的学术经验、专业发展和职业成功。此外，WEPAN还促进了研究和教育活动的整合，以加强在工程项目管理、本科和研究生教育、培养未来教师和K-12教育方面的指导。该项目在指导课程的开发、培训和广泛传播方面发挥了重要的领导作用。WEPAN通过培训个人和机构来指导大量未被充分代表的少数民族工程学生，并在促进和记录工程项目中的女性人数从1990年的18个正式项目增加到2002年的85个方面发挥了重要作用。
