Benefits of Membership

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is an international educational organization with over 16,000 members. The membership includes anyone interested in supporting women in engineering and the sciences. Men and women play an active role in SWE, as well as students and professionals.

Members directly benefit from the networking provided to all members of SWE. The organization is a resource for jobs as well as ways to enhance professional development. The National Convention and Student Conference held each year in a different city and provides educational workshops for conference participants that provide technical as well as career enhancing training.

SWE provides excellent leadership training in local Sections as well as on the Region and National levels. Members are encouraged to seek office including participating on committees on all levels. Many of SWE's leaders found the organization an ideal place to learn leadership skills providing a safe environment to make mistakes while learning from them. Mentors are available who naturally assist fellow members.

SWE encourages young girls to pursue math and science courses from the lower grades through high school, and provides programs to educate parents, teachers, and guidance counselors on the benefits of encouraging young women to consider careers in technical fields. Members find gratification in outreach programs on the local as well as national levels that address this issue.
