GENERAL INFORMATION SWE is a non-profit, educational service organization dedicated to supporting and encouraging women to pursue careers in engineering and related technical and scientific fields. The volunteer efforts of SWE are fueled by a nationwide network of members and student members who influence thousands of young women to choose careers in engineering or to enhance their technical careers through professional development and advanced education. Exhibitors at the 2002 SWE Conference will meet an impressive cross-section of our dynamic and enthusiastic membership who represent the heart of the Society. In addition, SWE Conferences draw non-member attendance from related technical societies and technical women's groups and the local community, who are specifically seeking employment with companies who actively promote diversity in their organizations.
