The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is a not-for-profit educational and service organization that empowers women to succeed and advance in the field of engineering, and to be recognized for their life-changing contributions as engineers and leaders. Founded in 1950, SWE is the driving force that establishes engineering as a highly desirable career for women through an exciting array of training and development programs, networking opportunities, scholarships, outreach and advocacy activities, and much more.
There are ten SWE regions in the United States and there are also international sections in approximately 30 countries. In the United States, SWE has approximately 20,000 individual members distributed among 100 professional sections and 300 collegiate sections.
The Lehigh Valley Section (SWE-LV) is one of thirteen professional sections within Region E, the Mid-Atlantic Region. This area includes New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Region E also includes 59 collegiate sections.
SWE-LV draws members from the area encircled by the Lehigh Valley, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport, Lewisburg and Reading. Lafayette College, Lehigh University, and Penn State Lehigh Valley/Berks collegiate sections actively participate with SWE-LV.
SWE-LV’s programs support the goals of the Society, which are summarized by the slogan “Aspire-Advance-Achieve.”
SWE stimulates women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, expands the image of the engineering profession as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrates the value of diversity. Please see the the "UPCOMING 2011/2012 EVENTS:" at the Activities page.
