SWE-ECI’s Mission
The mission of SWE ECI is to provide a community in which women engineers and leaders can easily connect with professionals in the area, access valued resources, and promote a positive awareness of engineering; to motivate and facilitate the desire to aspire, advance and achieve.
The Value of Community

SWE is the preeminent not-for-profit organization respected among the engineering community and technical societies.
