MEMBERSHIP

SWE membership lasts a lifetime. As a member, you are part of a community of peers with access to the tools, training and role models you need to realize your aspirations as an engineer and a leader. Your section will immediately become a valuable resource for academic, professional and fun activities. SWE empowers women to succeed and advance in their engineering studies and careers, and demonstrates the value of diversity in the engineering profession. SWE's programs and partnerships support the retention and advancement of women in engineering through career services, professional development and networking opportunities.

Aspire

Not only will you be supported in your aspirations, but you can also inspire others through SWE’s career guidance programs. Collegiate sections typically have programs involving Girl Scouts, area high school or middle school activities and Engineers Week programs. Your participation in these programs can inspire a young girl to follow in your footsteps.

Advance

SWE collegiate membership (and professional membership after college) is an excellent resource for preparing you for your future. You will network with practicing women engineers, build the business skills you’ll need, and develop leadership and management abilities through committee and collegiate leader involvement. Confident with your preparation, SWE has a valuable resource for finding the ideal job. SWE’s Career Center houses hundreds of internship and full time job opportunities and a résumé bank exclusively for SWE members.
