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.

Upcoming Events
Saturday, November 23, 2019 - 12:30 to 4:15pm. Junior Think Like an Engineering Workshop at Connecticut College in New London.

The stations include Emergency Shelter (build a shelter to keep our teddy bear dry), Seismic Shakeup (build a structure that can withstand our shake table test), and Paper Structures (build a weight bearing structure out of 8 sheets of newspaper). All supplies provided, no experience needed! Contact Kim at gsWorkshops@sweness.org if you are interested in helping!
