Dr. Kauser Jahan founded Engineers on Wheels and Rowan s Attracting Women into Engineering.
For Dr. Kauser Jahan, professor and head of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering, working in leadership and outreach “becomes part of who you are.”
The New Jersey STEM Pathways Network honored Jahan with the 2021 NJ STEM Civic Leadership Award in March. In addition to founding Engineers on Wheels, which in 2013 received national recognition from the WEPAN Outstanding Women in Engineering Program Initiative, Jahan also founded Rowan’s Attracting Women into Engineering outreach program in 1999. For those of us who are passionate about the future of STEM education, our job is not only getting students excited about engineering careers, but also reaching out to underrepresented populations, Jahan said.
