For Members

Events

SWELL

SWE Leaders & Learners Program

The Society of Women Engineers Leaders and Learners (SWELL) mentoring program is open to all students and is designed to help incoming first years and second years navigate coursework, extracurriculars, research, and other professional opportunities. Each underclassman is paired with an upperclassman who has the opportunity to guide them through anything they may need help with. Upperclassmen can pass on insightful advice, support, and tips/tricks to navigating Rutgers Engineering! Mentors and mentees also participate in both social and professional events, facilitated by SWE, to build their relationship throughout the year.

IMP

Industry Mentorship Program

The Rutgers SWE Industry Mentorship Program (IMP) is a full-year program that aims to prepare participants for the corporate world. This program pairs current SWE members with industry professionals based on the future goals, current engineering track, and general interests. Through bi-weekly professional development events, such as resume critique and elevator pitch prep, and monthly meetings with mentors the program prepares its participants for career fairs, interviews, and the workplace. Mentors have worked at various companies including but not limited toVerizon, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Accenture, Mondelez International, and Northrop Grumman.

Outreach

Community Service

The Society of Women Engineers at Rutgers University enjoys helping out our community in as many ways possible. Rutgers SWE members actively participate in annual events run by non-profit organizations such as the Scarlet Day of Service and the Rutgers Dance Marathon. Rutgers SWE aims to prove that engineering is fun for people of all ages and we hold various outreach events to introduce young students to engineering, technology and problem solving. Therefore, we hold outreach events and collaborate with other student organizations to introduce engineering to young students in the form of creative, hands-on activities. Some major events include SWE Night, Girl Scouts Lab Tours, Alpha Advantage Youth Summit, and Admitted Student Empowerment Day.

For Alumni

Involvement in SWE does not end after graduation. We maintain a strong connection with the Rutgers SWE alumni through networking socials and an Alumni Banquet, where job opportunities and friendships with the alumni are made. With a clear sense of SWE's past endeavors and guidance from our alumni network, we can create events geared toward furthering our members in their engineering discipline, and generating interest in STEM for young women.

For High School Students

Every year, SWE invites high schools in the area to Rutgers for fun filled events. In addition, every year SWE invites all females accepted to the School of Engineering to SWE Night, where they can learn about what SWE has to offer while also meeting their potential classmates.

Events

SWE Night

The Society of Women Engineers at Rutgers University enjoys spreading the word about engineering and its benefits to as many people as possible. We understand committing to a college is a very scary thing to do as a high school senior, especially in the School of Engineering, so we give prospective students a taste of college life as an engineer through SWE Night! Prospective female engineering students join us in a night of fun with activities and presentations on what to expect in the fall. Then the girls get paired off with a member in SWE and sleep over their on-campus dorm or apartment. If you're on the fence about committing to Rutgers, this is a good night to find out if our school is right for you!
