SWE National 		One of the notable aspects of SWE is the multi-discipline make-up of our members. This distinction allows the presentation of technical papers encompassing a wide variety of topics. This year’s theme, "On the Edge of Technology, Leadership and Diversity," lends itself to a broad spectrum of technical topics of substance, interest and innovation. Technical papers will be presented orally by consultants, practicing engineers, managers, students and professors. Technical Paper Presentations will include the following topics:

Technology: Transportation, Telecommunications, Systems, Operations Research and Manufacturing, Environmental, Biomedical, Facility Services and Civil Engineering.

Leadership: Management, Project Management, Risk Management and Leadership.

Diversity: Understanding Diversity, Example Programs to Promote Awareness and Diversity of Professions.


Areas of Interest:

Technology - Design

Technology - Environment

Diversity

Management - Teaching

Management - General
