About This Project
The engineering world is one that has been dominated by men over centuries. The lack of representation and support for women in the field has caused many to feel like they don’t belong. Here at Society of Women Engineers (SWE), we aim to combat this by providing a space for female identifying engineering students to feel encouraged and prepared to take on the engineering industry. We host many events throughout the year to develop professional skills and create bonds with other women in our field.
One of the main things SWE accomplishes every year is sending attendees to the National Women in Engineering conference which is hosted in a different major city. At the conference, our members attend workshops led by powerful women in the field and explore the job fair where there are opportunities to speak with all kinds of large companies. Our members who attend are able to gain insight into the professional engineering world that they wouldn’t be able to receive otherwise. They also are able to bring what they learned back with them and share with other members, increasing the impact of this experience.
How your support makes a difference!
With your gift, we can send women to the 2026 Women in Engineering (WE) conference hosted in Boston, Massachusetts to further make engineering more inclusive at the University of Delaware. Thank you for your support!
Gifts may also provide general support for the Society of Women Engineers.
