Society of Women Engineers
New England Shoreline Section
The New England Shoreline Section of the Society of Women Engineers is a not-for-profit educational and service organization. SWE-NESS members are pioneers, advocates and mentors who support the professional journey and are impacting the future of engineering and technology.
SWE-NESS members live or work in Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut and we have four collegiate sections: Brown University, Roger Williams University, the Coast Guard Academy and University of Rhode Island.
We are an active group, with regular meetings and ongoing educational programs for youth of all ages. You don’t have to be an engineer or a woman to be active in SWE.

Happy Engineers Week!
The Engineers Week book display at local libraries throughout Rhode Island and Connecticut has been a big hit! We promote engineering as a career choice for both girls and boys by displaying engineer focused books with posters and bookmarks.
