We invite you to be a part of Dallas SWE and help support our organization & members in our mission to empower professional engineers to succeed as well as to guide young girls toward careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
SWE promotes engineering as a highly desirable, exciting, and accessible career for women through an extensive array of training and development programs, networking opportunities, scholarships, outreach and advocacy activities, and much more. Your support and funding help us provide the following events and services:
Professional Development, Technical Sessions, Networking, and Mentoring, both for our members and in tandem with partner companies
Scholarships for Dallas-area high school and collegiate women pursuing STEM degrees
Youth Outreach events throughout the year, including events at schools and in partnership with local museums
Design Your World – STEM Conference for Girls, Dallas SWE's award-winning signature outreach event series, which has impacted over 2700 girls from 4-12th grade as well as hundreds of parents and educators over the life of the program. Students participate in hands-on engineering design challenges, while parents and educators attend panels focused on supporting students in their pursuit of STEM fields from the exploration phases through college funding.
Mission

Equity Statement
The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) values diversity, equity, and inclusion as essential to our mission. SWE believes in a world where equal opportunities and equitable outcomes exist for all.
As the leading voice of women in engineering and technology around the world, it is critical for SWE to be explicit in our support for and work toward these ideals. We acknowledge that obstacles, such as bias and discrimination related to gender and race, have resulted in limited and unequal career opportunities in engineering and technology.
SWE recognizes and values the intersections of our members’ unique characteristics including, but not limited to: ethnicity, race, culture; sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression; age; differences in ability; immigration status, nationality, national origin; education; socio-economic status; family structure; military/veteran status; religious/non-religious beliefs.
SWE respects that gender is a continuum. Everyone is welcome to join SWE as a member. Our programs are focused on those who want to be in a woman-oriented space, and we welcome individuals who identify as non-binary or gender expansive who are comfortable in such an environment.
SWE will uphold its core values, including our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. These values will be reflected in the engagement of SWE members individually with their communities. SWE and its members are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community, to ensure every member feels a sense of belonging.
