Mission Statement

The Society of Women Engineers encourages women in engineering and science fields. We work to increase awareness of the opportunities for women in engineering, to help overcome challenges that are encountered, and to increase communication, teamwork and leadership.

SWE provides an environment of personal and professional growth to compliment the academic experience. SWE members work on improving their skills in leadership, problem solving and interpersonal relationships. Along with responsibilities come the rewards of accomplishing goals, making a difference in the lives of others, affecting policy at the university and building a network of professional friends. The SWE experience prepares its members to be successful professionals.

In addition to building upon previous programs, SWE tries to discover new methods of encouraging and supporting women in engineering. SWE has many activities to help you develop the skills to succeed.
