The german ingenieurinnenbund e. V. (dib) is a nationwide feminist- oriented professional association by and for engineers , engineering students and women from technical professions. The aim of the dib is real equality between the sexes in training and work and increasing the proportion of women in technical professions.

The ICWES conference (2008 in Lille , France ) was prepared by dib together with the French and British women's technology associations ( FI and WES ).
Most of the members of the association come from the fields of mechanical engineering , electrical engineering , civil engineering , process engineering , architecture , vehicle technology , energy technology , environmental technology and IT .
