Society of Women Engineers was founded as a means to advance women in the field of engineering. The goal of our organization is to present engineering as a desirable career for women through outreach programs, networking opportunities, scholarships, and training programs. We accomplish this through outreach activities put on by the society and individual sections, webinars that help encourage professional and personal development, as well as conferences. As a section, we have perpetuated the Society’s goal to present engineering as a desirable field through our outreach, community service activities, and professional development activities with our local professional section. We encourage anyone and everyone to come attend our meetings and events!
