Our Mission

​

The SWE’s mission is to empower women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, expand the image of the engineering and technology professions as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrate the value of diversity and inclusion.

Values

​

The SWE’s five core values are integrity, inclusive environment, mutual support, professional excellence, and trust leading to confident individuals and successful professionals for future generations to come.

Vivid Descriptions

​

• SWE members will work to show females of all ages that engineers work to solve real-world problems and improve the quality of life for all. By demonstrating the impact that engineering can have on lives around the globe, engineering will be seen as a top choice of education and profession for women.

• SWE will be recognized for building leadership skills, providing leadership experience, and creating opportunities for exposure to top industrial and educational leaders, for both collegiate and professional members. The engineering profession will routinely value SWE for providing influential leaders and contributors, and women will be recognized for their contributions to their schools and their workplace.

• SWE will be a driving force for promoting a diverse workforce and inclusion of all, not limited to engineers. SWE will actively work to create a community where the profession welcomes and respects individual, personal, and career choices amongst all cultures.
