Society of Women Engineers - Houston Area

The Society of Women Engineers-Houston Area (SWE-HA) was officially chartered on July 1, 1979. The section gained federal exempt status as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation on May 13, 1984. SWE’s Houston Area (SWE-HA) is a professional member section operating out of the greater Houston area. We are fortunate to have a diverse local membership with engineers from all disciplines, walks of life, and career stages, and we’d be honored to have you as a part of our organization. SWE membership is open to all women and men in engineering professions, engineers in all disciplines, and non-engineers with equivalent engineering experience. SWE-HA aspires to unify science and engineering communities through active participation in outreach events for grades K-12, Academic Scholarships, Awards & Recognition, and Professional programs. With the support of local corporate sponsors and individual donors, SWE-HA is dedicated to pursuing this impactful social commitment, providing educational resources and promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among women in the Greater Houston Area. SWE-HA empowers women of all ages and diverse cultures to successfully achieve their aspirations, and recognizes women for their contributions as leaders in the community.
