About our section of SWE

Kettering SWE-A is a group of about 30 individuals that meet with one thing in common, the support of women in engineering. We meet every EVEN Wednesdays on the 3rd floor of the CC in the WRC during lunch. Our meetings involve planning of our section events and many presentations made to help us develop as leaders to be successful women in our work places and on campus. These presentations are frequently given by women in the field of engineering. They bestow upon us the knowledge of how to stand out in the engineering world.

Each year, SWE is involved with many events, both on and off campus. We hold our annual Mr.Kettering Pageant during Summer term as our major fundraising event. Beside working hard to make this event a success, we volunteer and help run many camps for young girls interested in pursuing a career in STEM. Kettering University SWE is known for our "Love An Engineer" shirts that we have been selling for decades to help make our events a success. Money from our events goes to fund the SWE Expo and our venture to Conference.

Below is a list of a few things our section is involved in:

SWE Expo

The SWE expo is a program for high school women interested in pursuing a career in engineering. The expo provides an opportunity to talk with current Kettering students and professors, as well as, professionals in the field. The expo also contains hands on labs and activities done on Kettering’s campus.
​

National Conference

The national conference is a three-day event that allows SWE members to network with hundreds of companies and professionals. Members are encouraged to attend leadership and informational seminars offered during the conference. This year’s conference will be held in Nashville.
