What We Do

The Atlanta Section of SWE holds regularly scheduled meetings, and participates with the local technical community in annual Engineers' Week events, as well as with activities at local schools, Girl Scouts, etc.  Additionally, we have ongoing activities to raise money for our scholarship fund; award to individuals is made through other channels. (See www.swe.org for national scholarships and grants).
SWE Atlanta provides exciting programs that will bring success and fulfillment to its members. We offer a multi-disciplinary, non-threatening environment in which our members can gain a professional edge. The corporate and industry diversity represented by our participants is not available in comparable corporate programs. Our programs compliment membership in the various engineering technical societies

In addtion...

• We have participated in Introduce a Girl to Engineering during E-week over the last several years. In 2006, SWE national will co-sponsor E-week with Northrop Grumman. SWE Atlanta will contribute an all-day forensic science lab for gifted girls in middle schools. 
• We partner with local corporations in their diversity programs. Our weekly emails inform members of local job openings, as well as technical and professional development events.
• We provide opportunities for those members, who do not yet hold corporate leadership positions, to practice and develop their leadership skills in a non-competitive environment. 

• Our mentoring network for members, both as mentors and mentorees, provides excellent opportunities for our members to develop professionally. 

• Our Outreach Programs in elementary, middle, high schools and colleges, encourage young women to consider science & technology as rewarding careers. By meeting women who are in successful technical roles, and who have similar interests, school-aged girls receive a positive perspective on engineering. 

• We partner with the local Girl Scouts to enrich their science & technology programs through our Speaker's Bureau.
