Who We Are

What is SWE?

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is a national non-profit organization founded in 1950 that inspires women to pursue engineering by providing educational and career opportunities and advocating for gender equality within the field. SWE has hundreds of professional and collegiate sections across the United States, including here at UC San Diego.

UC San Diego Section – Our Mission

UC San Diego Society of Women Engineers is a diverse group of passionate young engineers excited about women in STEM. Through outreach to K-12 students, socials with other women engineers, networking workshops with industry, and technical teams, UCSD SWE provides women engineers with a welcoming environment to grow professionally and academically.
