If you think we’re a bunch of “girly-

girls” who only talk about the latest

fashion, celebrities, and school gossip,

you’re wrong!

If you think we’re a bunch of “man-

haters” who devise ways to demean men

every chance we get, you’re wrong

 again!

The Society of Women Engineers is an

 organization which was created in

1950 to help women succeed as

engineers.  SWE also reaches out to

young females to generate interest in

engineering.   SWE is not solely

composed of females in engineering;

there are non-engineer and male

members as well!
