About SWE
Mission Statement
SWE is a non-profit educational service organization dedicated to making
known the need for women engineers and encouraging young women to
consider an engineering education. The organization's four objectives are as
relevant today as they were 50 years ago:
To inform young women, their parents, counselors, and the public in
general of the qualifications and achievements of women engineers
and the opportunities open to them.
To assist women engineers in readying themselves for a return to
active work after temporary retirement.
To serve as a center of information on women in engineering.
To encourage women engineers to attain high levels of educational
and professional achievement.
The mission statement, adopted in 1985, states: The Society of Women
Engineers stimulates women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers
and leaders, expands the image of the engineering profession as a positive
force in the quality of life, and demonstrates the value of diversity.
