SWE's Mission Statement

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.

SWE at UC Santa Cruz

We have a relatively small group of female engineers on the UCSC campus compared to other chapters. However, it is important for women engineers to know there is a support group and comfort zone they can join if they ever feel the need to find a new space to belong.

UCSC SWE happily greets the male allies that come to the meetings and events.
