Awards and Competition
As pioneers, innovators, leaders and mentors, our accomplishments are diverse, and our dreams have no limits. We are proud of our members’ many achievements and celebrate them through the SWE Awards Program.
Each year, SWE acknowledges those who have made great strides in technology and life, those who are just beginning to lead, and those whose work has directly impacted our mission. In the process, we bring awareness to the many contributions of women engineers, and the individuals and companies who champion diversity.
