About MIT SWE

MIT Society of Women Engineers was founded in 1979. Since then, we have strived to inspire younger generations about engineering, encourage the notion of diversity in engineering, and determine and advocate for the needs of women engineers at MIT and the broader community.

Campus Relations

Campus Relations forges the tie between MIT SWE and the rest of the MIT community. The department is responsible for the planning of events that build professor-student relations and peer-to-peer relations among students as well. Board members of this department work closely with various academic departments at MIT and other student organizations to promote collaboration and active engagement on campus.

Outreach

Outreach connects MIT SWE to the local community through its broad range of programming for young girls and women interested in the STEM fields. There are 10+ outreach programs that take place at MIT, in schools in the Greater Boston Area, and virtually through the web. Some of these are year-long programs, such as Keys to Empowering Youth (KEYs) and Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE), while others occur on an event-to-event basis.
