The Iraqi Women in Engineering and Applied Sciences (IWASE) Program seeks to enable Iraqi women faculty and students in engineering and applied sciences to play key roles in rebuilding an economy and society shattered by war. By enabling women to study and learn at American institutions of higher learning in the United States and the Middle East, it strengthens their professional skills and empowers them to take leading roles in reconstructing, stabilizing, and providing for the long-term development of Iraq. IWASE is funded by the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
