3 JMU SWE Events Aspire, Advance, Achieve The Society of Women Engineers (SWE), section E112, at James Madison University was chartered on May 6, 2013 by the SWE Board of Directors. We are a collegiate society that empowers women to succeed and advance in the field of engineering, and to be recognized for their life changing contributions as engineers and leaders. Below are highlights of some of our events. We welcome sponsorship involvement in all these events! Chartering banquet group photo with JMU members and faculty.

Two of the most impactful events reach local middle and high school female students. Our section held our first annual High School Engineering Outreach day for local female high school students in the fall. These students were exposed to engineering through design challenges, hands-on laboratory activities, a talk from a working female engineer, and a student panel. In the spring, we annually host an engineering workshop in the Expanding Your Horizon (EYH) Conference, which is a program for girls in grades 6-11 who want to pursue a future in the STEM field. Girls build candy bridges in our workshop and learn about how geometry plays a role in keeping to bridge from collapsing when loaded. We also hold events that address our goal of professional excellence. We host a resume or what not to wear workshop right before the campus career fair to allow members to improve the quality of their resumes and cover letters or their professional appearance, respectively. One of our highly impactful events is our annual Dinner with Industry. It is a great networking opportunity and gives our members insight to the professional field by meeting working engineers. This past year Northrop Grumman sponsored the event and we had a Fireside Chat with Kathy Warden after the meal. Overall, we are a close-knit group of students who share the same interests and goals. Our collegiate section is a new and growing section, which strives to do our best to aspire the profession, advance in the field, and achieve our long and short term goals. We welcome you to become apart of our section through sponsorship!
