Society of Women Engineers

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is a not-for-profit educational and service organization founded in 1950 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. 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, and outreach and advocacy activities.

Grand Valley State University has maintained a collegiate SWE section since 2012. We hope to promote engineering as a fun, rewarding career option for all students, and encourage women to achieve their full potential. Our goal is to connect our members with the West Michigan community through networking events, service opportunities, group field trips and educational outreach.

GVSU SWE and the School of Engineering have collaboration efforts with K-12 schools to mentor young girls who have interest in engineering. For more information, please visit this website www.gvsu.edu/engineering/girlswhoengineer.
