Collection for SWE Supporters

One of the largest and strongest student organizations we have on campus is our Society of Women Engineers (SWE) – Michigan Tech.

For over six decades, SWE has given women engineers a unique place and voice within the engineering industry. SWE is centered around a passion for our members’ success and continues to evolve with the challenges and opportunities reflected in today’s exciting engineering and technology specialties.

Every year, corporate sponsorship helps ensure that these students get to strive toward advancing their goals of Intergrity, Respect, Mutual Support, and Professional Excellence.

To help recognize these sponsors, a new Collection has been created in Handshake to highlight jobs available at these companies. Please use the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Supporters collection as a way to get your job search started.
