Committee Focus: Engineering awareness, while taking advantage of select opportunities to concentrate on women in engineering. As our outreach is to the entire greater Charleston community, awareness of women in engineering will be raised because of who we are as we participate in giving back, supporting, or volunteering.
We participate in various activities that include:
Committee Focus: Support professional growth of our section members.
Provide technical as well as professional
development speakers at most meetings
SWE sponsored Webinars are also used occasional at meetings
Committee Focus: Support of general networking, interaction, and fun for all members.
We feel that maintaining a healthy balance of work and social activities is the important in our lives.
Please look at our newsletter, meetings and calendar pages for all of our social events.
