The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Society of Women Engineers focuses on efforts that encourage women to enter the engineering profession. These efforts include career guidance, education through conferences, scholarships and awards. UNL-SWE serves as a center of information for women in engineering as well as a support network to help each of our members attain the highest level of educational, personal, and professional achievement possible.
