SWE's mission is to stimulate women to achieve their full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, and to demonstrate the value of diversity. SWE also hopes to expand the image of the engineering profession as a positive force in improving the quality of life for all. The HMC chapter of SWE hosts professional and social programs for all engineering students. It also sponsors a day-long program for high school girls to experience science, mathematics and engineering education on HMC's campus.
